The Enemy's end game is not just to distract you — it's to convince you that the battle is already lost; this week, Giglio shows why that lie is the most audacious one of all.
Discussion Questions
8 questions1.Giglio describes despair as the Enemy's closing argument — the whisper that says "nothing will ever change, you'll never get free, this is just who you are." Have you heard that argument in your own mind? What specific form does it take for you?
2.Psalm 23 ends with "surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life" — not "sometimes" or "if I'm good enough," but *surely*, *all the days*. How does that declaration land when you are in a season where goodness and mercy feel absent?
3.Romans 8:31 asks, "If God is for us, who can be against us?" Giglio pushes on that word "for" — not just that God is neutral or watching from a distance, but actively, personally *for* you. What would change in your interior life if you were fully convinced that God is for you in that complete sense?
