In the final chapter, Giglio draws the whole argument together into a call for sustained, daily vigilance — not because the battle is unwinnable, but because it is ongoing and the stakes are too high to go passive.

Discussion Questions

8 questions

1.Giglio closes by calling readers to a daily, intentional practice of refusing the Enemy a seat. What does that look like as an ongoing discipline rather than a one-time decision? What makes it a practice rather than a moment?

2.Ephesians 6 describes the full armor of God — and Giglio has in many ways been unpacking that armor throughout the book. Looking back at the chapters you've studied, which piece of the armor has felt most neglected in your own life, and which has felt most actively engaged?

3.John 10:10 gives us the Enemy's agenda in one phrase: "to steal, kill, and destroy" — and then gives us Jesus' agenda in one phrase: life, and life "to the full." As you finish this book, what does "life to the full" look like for you specifically? What would need to change for that to become your experience?
