Discussion Questions
7 questions1.Describe one of the near-miss or narrow escape episodes from these chapters. What were the specific details, what did Andrew do, and what — in his own interpretation — allowed him to escape? How does he credit God without dismissing human courage or skill?
2.Psalm 34:7 says, 'The angel of the LORD encamps around those who fear him, and he delivers them.' Does Andrew's story support the idea that God protects those who obey Him from all harm? What would you say to a reader who points out that many faithful missionaries were arrested, imprisoned, or killed?
3.Andrew observed that fear itself was a kind of enemy — not just the circumstances that caused it, but fear's power to paralyze, distort, and diminish faith. How did he combat fear in himself practically and spiritually?
a.What is the difference between prudent caution and faithless fear?
b.What specific fears are most likely to paralyze your own obedience?
