Allen pulls back the curtain on one of the most isolating lies the enemy tells: that we are alone in what we are experiencing — and she insists that community is not optional for the life of the mind.
Discussion Questions
7 questions1.The toxic thought Allen addresses here is "I am alone." Where does this thought most often hit you — in your marriage, friendships, faith community, family, or somewhere else?
2.She argues that isolation is one of the enemy's most reliable tactics — get someone alone, and they become far more vulnerable to toxic thoughts. Do you agree? Can you think of a time when isolation made your thought life significantly worse?
3.Allen is candid that true community — the kind that can actually interrupt toxic thinking — requires vulnerability and risk. What makes genuine vulnerability in community so hard? What are you afraid would happen if people knew what was really going on in your head?
