What if the fastest path to growth isn’t a better answer, but a better question? We explore how leaders who slow down to listen, frame problems wisely, and invite God into their decision-making build companies that are healthier, more resilient, and more aligned with purpose. Drawing from James 1:19 and Proverbs 20:5, we share why wisdom begins with asking and how Jesus used questions to shape belief, reveal motives, and spark transformation.

We break down three categories every leader should master: strategic questions that set direction and safeguard mission, operational questions that expose friction and fix broken processes, and leadership-and-culture questions that surface unspoken issues and the behaviors your team really rewards. Think GPS before directions, diagnosis before prescription, and chess over checkers. You’ll hear practical prompts you can use this week to clarify destination, test assumptions, and weigh the long-term position created by today’s choices.

We also unpack case studies that show questions driving innovation at scale. Jeff Bezos institutionalized the customer with the “empty chair,” forcing leaders to ask what is best for the customer, which led to one-click purchasing and Prime convenience. Satya Nadella reset Microsoft by asking what would happen if learning beat proving you’re smart, shifting from know‑it‑all to learn‑it‑all and unlocking collaboration and cloud leadership. Howard Schultz reframed Starbucks by asking what experience people were buying, designing a third place that built loyalty beyond price. Along the way, we share weekly and annual rhythms—one hard question to God, one curiosity question to a teammate, and a year-end self-audit—to keep your leadership humble, focused, and effective.

If this resonates, follow the show, share it with a leader who needs it, and leave a review with the best question you’re asking right now. Your questions could spark someone else’s breakthrough.
