Do Hard Things by Alex Harris

Week 6: Chapter 5 — Hard Things That Are Unglamorous

Read Chapter 5 of Do Hard Things. Key Scripture: Colossians 3:23; Luke 16:10.

Culture tells us to pursue work that is exciting, visible, and impressive — but the Rebelution often looks more like faithfulness in the background than fame in the spotlight.

Discussion Questions

7 questions

1.Alex and Brett identify a third category of hard things: those that are "not fun, flashy, or popular" — the behind-the-scenes, ingrate work that almost never gets applause. Why is this category particularly hard for our generation to embrace?

2.The authors use the phrase "small things done faithfully" as a defining mark of the Rebelution. How does this sit with you? Is there a part of you that wants the Rebelution to be bigger and more dramatic than this?

3.Colossians 3:23 commands us to work "heartily, as for the Lord and not for men." How does this verse reframe unglamorous work — not as wasted effort but as genuine worship?

a.What unglamorous task in your life right now could you begin to approach as an act of worship?
