Discussion Questions
7 questions1.Allen describes the armor of God in Ephesians 6 as God's provision for a real war. Before reading this chapter, how did you typically think about this passage — as metaphor, as formula, or as something else?
2.She focuses especially on the "sword of the Spirit," which is the Word of God, as the primary offensive weapon. What is the difference between knowing Scripture and wielding Scripture? Are you more in the habit of one than the other?
3.Allen emphasizes that the armor must be actively "put on" — it doesn't attach itself. What does it look like, practically and concretely, to put on the armor of God in a morning routine or in the midst of a crisis?
