Discussion Questions
7 questions1.Meyer distinguishes between the symptoms we see in our lives (emotional pain, bad relationships, stalled spiritual growth) and the root cause hidden in our thought lives. Think about a recurring struggle in your own life — what might the thought life underneath it look like?
2.She emphasizes that Satan works through 'strongholds' — deeply ingrained patterns of thinking that have become so habitual we barely notice them. How would you define a mental stronghold in your own words? Do you suspect you have any?
3.Meyer writes that the enemy plants thoughts in our minds and we often accept them as our own, never questioning their source. Have you ever had an experience where a thought felt like 'your' thought but, looking back, seemed designed to lead you away from God or others? What was that like?
a.How can we learn to discern which thoughts originate with us, which with God, and which with the enemy?
b.What role does Scripture play in that discernment process?
