Weaver gets intensely practical in this chapter, offering concrete guidance for building a daily time with God — not a discipline of guilt, but a living-room appointment with someone who loves you. Let these questions move you from intention to action.
Discussion Questions
7 questions1.Weaver describes the daily quiet time not as a duty to fulfill but as an appointment with a Person who is waiting for you. How does framing it that way change the emotional texture of showing up — or not showing up — for that time?
2.What practical elements does Weaver suggest for structuring a meaningful time at Jesus' feet? Which of these do you already practice, and which feel like a stretch or a new idea for you?
3.Weaver is honest about the fact that quiet times are not always emotionally rich or spiritually electric. What advice does she give for persisting through dry, distracted, or seemingly fruitless seasons of prayer and Scripture reading?
a.Have you experienced a spiritual dry season? What did you do — or wish you had done — during that time?
b.How does Weaver's counsel differ from the typical "try harder" approach?
