“Should Christian women obey their husbands, and why or why not?”

This is her signature opening question for street interviews outside churches, used to initiate conversation.

“What are the biggest misconceptions about this church?”

This question is used to elicit common criticisms, allowing the host to frame the subsequent conversation.

“How do you handle divorce here?”

She asks this to understand the church's policies and consequences for failed relationships.

“Who is responsible for protecting the family?”

She asks this to probe a guest's views on traditional gender roles after they mention 'equal partnership'.

“In your own relationship, does one of you make more decisions or is it equal?”

This question seeks a specific, personal example to test the guest's abstract beliefs.

“If you told your wife 'no,' would she listen, and vice versa?”

A direct probe to test the practical application of a guest's 'equal partnership' claim.

“Do you believe it's the man's duty to provide, or should it be both?”

This follow-up question specifically targets financial roles within a marriage.

“Don't you think in a relationship one person is always obeying the other?”

She uses this to challenge the concept of a perfectly egalitarian partnership.

“Do you believe in the natural order of God, men, women, children, or are you more egalitarian?”

This forces the guest to choose between a hierarchical or egalitarian worldview.

“What is responsibility without authority?”

A philosophical question used to challenge the guest's ideas about male roles.

“How do you feel about female-led Bible studies?”

This question assesses the church's stance on female authority in teaching roles.

“Would a member of clergy ever testify in family court?”

This probes the intersection of the church's authority and secular legal matters.
