Do Hard Things by Alex Harris

Week 10: Review & Reflection

Review your notes from all previous weeks and any passages of Do Hard Things that were most meaningful to you.

This final week is a chance to step back, take stock of the whole journey, and make sure the ideas you've engaged with don't stay as ideas — but become commitments.

Discussion Questions

8 questions

1.Looking back across the entire book, which chapter or concept hit you hardest? Why do you think that one landed with particular force?

2.Alex and Brett organized their challenge around five categories of hard things: outside your comfort zone, beyond your current abilities, unglamorous, opposed, and requiring others. Which of the five do you find most difficult? Which comes most naturally to you?

3.How has your understanding of the teen years — your own season of life right now — changed as a result of reading this book? Are you more hopeful, more convicted, more energized, or something else?

4.In Week 1, you were asked to write down one thing you hoped this study would change. Go back and read what you wrote. Has that thing changed? Why or why not?

5.Alex and Brett argue throughout the book that the Rebelution is ultimately about God's glory, not personal achievement. How well do you think that motivation has taken root in you? Be honest — is your desire to do hard things more about impressing God and others, or genuinely about love for Him?

Father, we come to the end of this study aware that the real work is just beginning. Thank You for the twin gifts of challenge and grace in these pages — the challenge to stop coasting and start contributing, and the grace that makes it possible for ordinary, young, imperfect people to do hard things for Your glory. We don't want to be people who read inspiring books and stay the same. Make us doers of the Word, not hearers only. Send us back into our schools, homes, churches, and communities as young people who have chosen to rebel against low expectations and to live, fully and courageously, for You. And in the years ahead, when we are tempted to give up, remind us of what we decided today. Amen.
