What good questions are you asking today?

I just finished a coaching training yesterday. During the first day, one of the questions is "What do you want to achieve in this coaching training?" My answer, "I want to coach myself so that I can be a better follower of Christ and better disciple maker for Christ." I think one of the key questions about coaching and the element of discipling/coaching is about "What, Why and How" questions and put the question and get the outcomes in time frame and context.
Asking the right question matters! I have been teaching about the importance of good questions in different occasions.

Around the dinning table, what would you ask your children after the school?

PAUSE. Think about this, and answer the question before you keep reading.

I forgot where did I learned about asking question in different cultures. I have heard and thought some of the following?

1. How did you get along with your classmates?
2. What have you learned in the school?
3. How are you doing in the school?
4. Are there anyone bullying you?
5. ...
6.What did you do?
7. How were you doing in your test/exam?
8. What questions do you ask?
9. What questions have you been asking?

What are yours?
What can we learn about asking questions and ourselves through question?

Missional prayer Tour and prayerful awareness

I have been traveling quite a bit for consultation, training and meeting. I have shared ideas about the ideas of tour with mission concern and prayer for the places and the people that visited. Short term mission became a trend in last 20 years. One of my concern is that we are having a tourist mentality for short term mission. I am promoting a mission mentality while Christians are travelling. While we are travelling, God may speak to us because our invention of STM. However, as I am intentional to think about prayer and would like to spend 30 minutes per day of prayer and/or scriptural reading from the prayer for a 30 days hustle project. I found that it is not that easy to be aware of the presence of God as I am travelling. I am still thinking it is worth to do it.

I am very thankful for the opportunity visiting school, friends and tour a bit in California recently. I did pray for the country, the state, the people and the cities. May the Lord's grace and mercy be with them. I am also very thankful and was blessed by the hospitality of friends and colleagues last week and this week. I will try to be alert what and whom the Lord will bring to me and live prayerfully day by day.
