What do you do to get under the layer to really get down to those lower levels? Is it just follow-up questions, mindset, worldview, and how that works for you? How'd you get this job anyway? What are things like around here? What did your boss do before they were your boss? Wow did you end up with this job? Why are questions such a big part of This is Strategy? If you had to charge ten times as much as you charge now, what would you do differently? If it had to be free, what would you do differently? Who's it for, and what's it for? What is the change we seek to make? How did you choose the questions for The Strategy Deck? How big is our circle of us? How many people do I care about? Is the change we're making contagious? Are there other ways to gamify the use of questions? Any other thoughts on how questions might be gamified? How do we play games with other people where we're aware of what it would be for them to win and for us to win? What is it that you're challenged by? What is it that you want to share? What is it that you're afraid of? If there isn't a change, then why are we wasting our time? Can you define tension? What kind of haircut do you want? How long has it been since your last haircut? How might one think about intentionally creating that question? What factors should someone think about as they use questions to create tension? How was school today? What is the kind of interaction I'm hoping for over time? How do I ask a different sort of question that over time will be answered with how was school today? Were there any easy questions on your math homework? Did anything good happen at school today? What tension am I here to create? What wrong questions continue to be asked? What temperature is it outside? When the person you could have been meets the person you are becoming, is it going to be a cause for celebration or heartbreak? What are the questions we're going to ask each other? What was life like at the dinner table when you were growing up? What are we really trying to accomplish? How do you have this cogent two sentence explanation of what you do? How many clicks can we get per visit? What would happen if there was a webpage that was designed to get you to leave? What were the questions that were being asked by people in authority at Yahoo in 1999? How did the stock do today? Is anything broken? What can you do today that will make the stock go up tomorrow? What are risks worth taking? What are we doing that might not work but that supports our mission? What was the last thing you did that didn't work, and what did we learn from it? What have we done to so delight our core customers that they're telling other people? How has your international circle informed your life of questions? What do I believe that other people don't believe? What do I see that other people don't see? What do I take for granted that other people don't take for granted? What would blank do? What would Bob do? What would Jill do? What would Susan do? What happened to them? What system are they in that made them decide that that was the right thing to do? And then how do we change the system? How given the state of the world, do you manage to continue to care as much as you do? Do you walk to school or take your lunch? If you all can only care if things are going well, then what does that mean about caring? Should I have spent the last 50 years curled up in a ball? How do we go to the foundation and create community action?…

God loves us so much that he comes to us on our level and listens to our every need. Pray to Him and let Him sustain you in every situation. Find out just how much He loves you by trusting Him today.
Just as John the Baptist did in the New Testament gospels, we need to be vigilant in preparing the way of the Lord. Let us be the voice in the wilderness to our family, friends, and complete strangers to share the good news of His coming!
God reminded me this week that He is all the evidence that I need! When we are facing the battles of life, we can rest assure that He is there, going before us, knocking down the enemy. We must only believe and stand on His promises!!
Recognize the power in the name of Jesus! The bible tells us His name is above everything! Let's start speaking His name into our circumstances and in life to transform every situation according to His perfect will.
Jesus told his disciples to not let their hearts be troubled, and He is still telling His children this today. His word is the same today, bringing the same healing and comfort to all that will receive it.
Jesus says clearly in Matthew 11:28 that He will give us rest. Acknowledge that gift of peace and rest through Him today. Right now when our world is so uncertain, we can find our stability through our Savior and Lord Jesus Christ!
The promises of God never fail! Joshua heard the Lord tell him that He would deliver the enemy into his hand! Joshua and the Israelites walked all night and took the enemy by surprise and defeated them!! Walk all night if you have too, knowing that God will deliver you this day! The enemy will not win, because our God never loses!!…
Carrying buckets full of anything can be exhausting! Especially when it is betrayal wearing on your mind, body and spirit 24/7. Lay the bucket down today and be free!!
Wake up to the tricks of the devil! He is working overtime in this our to destroy God's people and take them off course that God has set before them. He has no new tricks! Call him out for what he is and get back in line with what God has for your life!!!
So many times in the bible, it is written time and time again of God saving His people from harm or destruction. No matter what you are facing today, know that God is bigger than anything and everything. Stand behind Him today, and rest in knowing He is our protector. There is nothing to big for our God!!…
