Discussion Questions
-
Describe in your own words these two deceptions that cause us to walk away from God. We think we need something other than God in order to be home. We believe we are walking towards God when we are walking away from Him. How have you experienced these deceptions in your life?

Dr. Crabb makes the following observations about the spiritual journey: It is not governed by the law of linearity but by the law of liberty. Lesser dreams (even good ones) must shatter to awaken our appetite for greater dreams. To say that God is in control means that He is moving all things towards an end point that we don’t always properly value or even like. How do these observations help when you are offering spiritual friendsdhip to another?

Dr. Crabb makes three observations about Eckhart’s quote. Discuss what you think and feel about each. God’s home is now in me. When I walk away from God, I walk away from me. The only way to discover my true self is to come home to God.
-
Those were very profound observations. Just being reminded that God actually lives in me makes me ashamed of all the things I don’t do because I feel I can’t which in actuality I can because God ‘s home is in me. And walking away from God puts a halt to my growth because I walk away from myself. And the only way I will have the power to become my true self is to come back to God.
-
We don’t return to God for several reasons, among them: We do not see our flesh dynamics. We lose hope. What does the phrase “flesh dynamics” mean? When have you experienced these hindrances to returning to God?
-
Flesh dynamics means we let our concentration on what we cling to and not what God wants hinder, stop or block our progress in returning to God.
-
Dr. Crabb wants a revolution in his life and in the church where our desire for God actually becomes stronger than our desire to fix our problems. To what extent is that revolution occurring in your life?
-
The revolution is occurring in my life by God’s promptings are to look inward for the answers.
-
When did you last sense a longing to have another person walk with you as you walk home to God? What did you do about that longing?
