Whole
Questions to Consider
Chapter One
- Do you believe you have a story? If so, do you understand why God might want you to share it?
- What is a hole? How have holes held you back in life?
Chapter Two
- How can dependence on your religious performance limit you? How do you think God views a connection with Him that is based largely on spiritual ritual?
- Has your religion ever been given too much power over you? Has it left you vulnerable to hurts within the church or organized religion? How has it affected the way you view God?
Chapter Three
- How can the hole of our religion actually benefit us? How does it drive us to God, and what do we seek from Him?
- What does it mean to you to be spiritually vibrant? How does wholeness make that possible?
Chapter Four
- When have you experienced hinge moments of change with regard to a role, and how have those moments affected you?
- Think of some of your most important roles in life. What would happen if one of them were stripped away without your permission?
Chapter Five
- Has a hole in your life ever caused you to get facedown before Jesus? If not, what would it take for you to get into that position, and how might that help you become whole within?
- What would it mean for you to have your entire identity based on your relationship with Jesus? How could that become possible in your life?
Chapter Six
- Do you see the importance of making a distinction between your story and your experiences? Have you been making your experiences your story? How might doing so facilitate a hole?
- In what way(s) can a positive experience still create a hole? Can you recall a time in your life when that has happened and how it limited you?
