Questions open us to mystery; answers often try to close it. In asking, we make space for God to move — for wisdom, healing, and revelation to unfold in their own time. Faith itself begins not in certainty but in curiosity: Who do you say that I am? Jesus, too, led with questions, not pronouncements.

I was upset with the very sneaky questions the doctor kept lobbing my daughter's way. But I was surprised and super proud with the way my daughter spoke up and demanded the doctor stop the BS.
