Discussion Questions
- Eldredge opens the Chapter by discussion the benefits of overcoming a fear and discovering the thrill of freedom. Have you ever had an experience like that, where you embraced an adventure in spite of your fears? Explain?
- One of the central points in this Chapter centers on the quote - "Don't ask yourself what the world need. Ask yourself what makes you come alive, and go do that, because what the world needs is people who have come alive." - How would you describe what "makes you come alive?" What do you think the question was that you asked yourself that resulted in the life you now have? Evaluate between the two (i.e. don't just accept Eldredge's question as gospel - as we have to live with the reality of the answer, he is just writing the book)
- Have you ever stood at a crossroads, where one path was a dream you could follow and the other was a practical path that offered safety and predictability? What did you do? Is that what your heart most wanted to do?
- Where would you place yourself on the chart below - why?
- Final question - On a scale of 1 (not even close) - 10 (yeah, that's me for sure), where would you evaluate yourself in terms of having an ongoing, intimate relationship with God? Why and what could you change to move up that scale?
