Sounds like you’re saying that…
Ask open ended questions

How are you feeling God’s peace?
Encourage sharing / defuse frustrations

What would you like to see differently?
When I pray for you:
How can I pray for you?
What would you like me to pray for?
Ask questions about sermon series, 5x5,
What has impacted you the most these last few weeks at our church?
What’s the most interesting thing you’ve learned about [sermon series / 5x5 book] lately?
