You've spent ten weeks going deeper into Ortlund's vision of Christian growth — now it's time to look back, take stock, and ask what has genuinely taken root, and what steps you will take next.
Discussion Questions
8 questions1.Looking back over the whole book, what single chapter or idea hit you hardest — the one you are still thinking about? What made it so significant for you specifically, given your history, your temperament, or your current season of life?
2.Ortlund's central argument is that Christian growth happens by going *deeper* into the gospel rather than by doing *more*. Has this book genuinely changed how you think about sanctification? Where do you still find yourself defaulting to the "try harder" model, and what would it take to shift that pattern?
3.The book traces a journey through despair, union with Christ, identity, Scripture, prayer, suffering, obedience, and means of grace. Looking at that arc as a whole, where in that journey are you currently living? Where do you feel most at home, and where do you feel most stuck?
