The most surprising part of reaching the High Places is the command to go back down — transformed people sent back into the same valleys they were desperate to leave. This week we explore what it means to live from a High Place perspective in the midst of low-place circumstances.
Discussion Questions
8 questions1.Grace and Glory (formerly Much-Afraid) is sent back into the valleys she came from, but she is now different. What is the difference between returning to a difficult place unchanged and returning to it transformed? What changes about how you move through familiar terrain when you have been to the High Places?
2.2 Corinthians 1:3–4 says God comforts us so that we may comfort others 'with the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God.' How does Much-Afraid's painful journey equip her to help others in the valleys in a way that bypassing the pain never could?
3.The devotional is designed to help women 'understand your own struggles.' How does seeing your own struggles — your own valley, desert, and precipice — as preparation for ministry to others change your relationship to those struggles?

b.What would it look like practically to offer them the 'comfort you have received'?
