You're looking for something that's right and to grow. And so I'll sometimes coach people on how to ask questions. And gently but firmly, I do a quarterly new staff member meeting where all of our new staff members come in. And a younger 23-year-old asked, hey, what do we need to do to keep from burning out? And I didn't like her question. I didn't tell her that, but I tried to coach her.

And I said, hey, I'm really glad you asked that because I want you to be healthy. I want you to be strong. But what you did is you started with a negative assumption, like that we're going to burn out. And so that actually frames your expectations, and you're afraid of burning out.

So a better way to ask it would be like, hey, what habits or spiritual disciplines helps you stay energized and focused? That's a question that brings about the right answers for health rather than a defensive posture. Or I said, you could have asked like, hey, Craig, what fuels your spiritual passion that's kept you driven for three decades?

And so those questions actually get the information that you're looking for instead of being defensive. And again, I know these are nitpicky things, but it's the small tweaks that often bring about the big results because the quality of your questions will impact the quality of the answers that you get. I've gone long today, longer than I normally do. So I hope you have a longer workout.

I'm going to wrap this up in just a moment, but I want to tell you about what we're going to cover in the next episode because we have a lot of important stuff to cover. In part two, we're going to dive into the specific questions that separate the best leaders from the rest of the leaders.

And I promise you, we're gonna get stupid practical and I'm gonna show you very specifically what to ask and how to ask to get the best information to care about your team because they matter and to drive the best results. Also, last month I just released a new book, The Benefit of Doubt. How Confronting Your Deepest Questions Can Lead to a Richer Faith.

This is a Christ-centered book that deals with spiritual doubts. And we want to give away some of those books. We couldn't figure out what to have you type in the comment section. Like, I want Craig's book. Give me your book. And so we asked Grayson, the audio engineer. Shout out, Grayson. Loud shout. Loud, loud, loud. He is the intern.
