Week 12: Chapter 11 — Running the Race with Our Minds Fixed on Jesus

1.Allen uses the imagery of Hebrews 12 — throwing off every weight, fixing our eyes on Jesus — as her summary image for what the renewed mind looks like in practice. What does it mean to you, personally, to "fix your eyes on Jesus"? What does it look like on a Tuesday morning?

2.She talks about the "great cloud of witnesses" in Hebrews 12:1 — the saints who have gone before us who are, in some sense, cheering us on. How does being connected to a larger story — God's story throughout history — affect the way you think about your own small, daily battles?

3.Allen emphasizes that this is a race — not a sprint but a long obedience in the same direction. What does endurance look like when it comes to renewing the mind? What has sustained you in seasons when it felt impossible to keep going?
