Hi, and welcome to Jesus Over Everything, a five-day-a-week variety show that mixes encouragement, the Bible, practical how-toes, and fantastic guests for the listener on the go. I'm Lisa Whittle, and I welcome you to just five minutes with me, which I trust and pray will be five minutes well spent. Well, hey there, my friends, and happiest of Fridays to you. I'm really excited about the show today because I think

it's a show a lot of you will love. I want to help you get some insight into you. With the crazy

popularity of the Enneagram and personality tests always being interesting to us, I think. Today's show

is going to further help. Here's why I find that important. Sometimes it's hard for us to see ourselves as we

really are. So today's Friday 5, five great questions to ask a friend about you can be a really

powerful help. You may know that I'm teaching a class right now speaking 101 to a group of college age students.

So let's get into it. Number one, how do I make you feel? This is sort of a big question I know,

but we make people feel certain types of way when we are with them.

Maybe you bring joy to people. Maybe you remind them of Jesus. Maybe when you ask this question,

it won't be the answer you necessarily want, but it's a really important question to ask people

because you might have heard this statement. People won't remember what you did or what you said,

but they will remember how you made them feel.

So ask them this question. Number two, what is my contribution to this world? It's important to

hear what other people perceive as your strong points and gifts. Sometimes we need others to call out
