Discussion Questions

1.  What was most revealing about this exercise?

2. What issues, addictions, destructive habits, baggage, or sin cycles did the inventory reveal?

3. The disciple should be able to answer these questions with the discipler’s help:

What “has” you? 

Why does it have you? (How did this addiction come about) 

How does this rob you from living a generous life of freedom?

Can you imagine life without it? What would be the positive changes in your life if you were to be free from it?

4. Is the disciple willing and ready to take a step to cut ties with the behavior or sin cycle and take an action step toward freedom this week?
