Discussion Questions
7 questions1.Batterson describes God-given dreams as 'odd' — they often don't make sense to the people closest to you. Has God ever put something on your heart that seemed odd even to you? How did you respond?
2.Batterson draws on Joseph's story — a young man whose God-given dream landed him in a pit before it landed him in a palace. What does Joseph's story reveal about the relationship between suffering and the fulfillment of a dream?
3.The chapter suggests that the enemy of the odd dream is not opposition — it's ordinariness. What ordinary routines, expectations, or comfort zones are most likely to quietly suffocate the dreams God has given you?
