Discussion Questions
7 questions1.The "junk drawer" metaphor is immediately relatable. What does your spiritual junk drawer contain—what habits, thought patterns, or attitudes have you been tossing in there, meaning to deal with them "someday"?
2.Weaver draws on Hebrews 12:1's call to "throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles." She notes the distinction between sin and things that merely hinder. What is something in your life that may not be sinful in itself but is slowing you down spiritually?
3.The author walks through Colossians 3's list of what must be "put off"—including anger, malice, slander, and filthy language. Which of these "put off" items is most personally convicting for you, and why do you think that is?
