Discussion Questions
7 questions1.Jackie's conversion did not happen in a church, through a program, or because of contact with Christians — it happened alone in her bedroom, confronted by the truth of the gospel. What does that tell us about how God works, and what does it free us from needing to control about evangelism and conversion?
2.She describes coming face-to-face with her sin not as a list of rule-violations but as an offense against a holy and personal God. What is the difference between feeling guilty because you broke a rule and feeling grieved because you have wronged someone who loves you? Which one leads to lasting change, and why?
3.Jackie did not immediately feel her attractions change at conversion. She became a new creature in Christ while still feeling the pull of same-sex desire. How does this challenge both the "pray away the gay" narrative and the "nothing can change" narrative? What does 2 Corinthians 5:17 actually promise and what does it not promise?
