Before we can begin healing, we have to name what's actually broken — and for many of us, trust is the wound beneath every other wound. Sit with these questions honestly.
Discussion Questions
7 questions1.Lysa opens the book by describing trust as "the oxygen of all human relationships." What does that metaphor mean to you personally? In what relationship do you feel like the oxygen has been cut off?
2.The introduction acknowledges that after being burned, people often respond in one of two unhealthy directions — becoming either too trusting (naively dismissing red flags) or too guarded (assuming betrayal is inevitable). Which tendency do you recognize most in yourself right now, and why?
3.Lysa states that healing isn't simply about "finding better people to walk with" — it's about developing stability within yourself and with God. Why do you think that internal stability matters as much as, or more than, the quality of people around you?
