Bob Goff's joy is one of the most persuasive things about him, and he argues it's not a personality trait but a theological conviction — that Jesus came to give life in abundance. Let these questions help you think about where that abundance is showing up (or not) in your own life.
Discussion Questions
7 questions1.Bob describes people who live with such uninhibited love that they become like cannonballs — launching into life with contagious energy that splashes everyone around them. Who in your life looks like that, and what is it about them that makes them so compelling?
2.Jesus promises life 'to the full' — a life of abundance, not just adequacy. Where in your life have you settled for adequacy when Jesus was offering something more?
3.Bob's humor and playfulness aren't accidental — they reflect a deep theological conviction that delight and love go together. How has a performance-driven or fear-driven faith squeezed the joy out of how you relate to God or to others?
a.What would a more joyful, playful version of your faith look like in practice?
b.Is there something you've made too serious that Jesus might be inviting you to hold a little more lightly?
