CH. 9 - New starts at ancient faith

I really think this is a good chapter for everyone who is pursuing a Christ centered life because we are all are susceptible to getting to a place similar to what Don described as the lack of "green lumpy places". As you read through these discussion questions have this question in the back of your mind, "Am I living a life that is meeting the expectations of the human perspective or am I following God to what I believe is his next step for me?"

1. Have you ever tried to be someone you are not? Tell about it.
2. If comfortable, give a brief summary of your church involvement.
3. Tell of a time when you had a connection with God. How did it feel? Did it compel you to do anything?
4. Do you find yourself getting to the same place in life that Don talked about being in, when he was a church college leader? A place where you know the right things to do and say, a place where you’re comfortable but not complete? How should we respond to these feelings?
5. What things do you think God is trying to rescue you from? Are letting him?
