Discussion Questions
8 questions1.Looking back at the full book, which single chapter or theme was most impactful for you? What made it hit so hard? Was it a truth you had never heard, or a truth you had heard but never quite believed until now?
2.Ortlund's central verse is Matthew 11:29 — Jesus describing himself as "gentle and lowly in heart." How has your understanding of this verse changed from Week 1 to now? What do those two words mean to you now that they did not mean before?
3.The book draws heavily on the Puritan writers — Thomas Goodwin, Richard Sibbes, John Bunyan, John Owen. Did engaging their voices surprise you? Did any particular Puritan quote or image stay with you? What does it suggest about the faith that such old words still feel so alive?
