Discussion Questions
7 questions1.Evans states that the prayer of a righteous man is 'powerful and effective' (James 5:16) — which means that prayer is not passive but active, not weak but potent. How does this reframe the way you think about prayer? Does it feel like a weapon or a ritual to you?
2.In Luke 18, Jesus tells the parable of the persistent widow to teach His disciples to 'always pray and not give up.' Evans connects this persistence in prayer to the kingdom man's posture — he does not quit when the answer doesn't come quickly. Where are you tempted to give up in prayer? What has you discouraged?
3.Ephesians 6 describes prayer as an essential piece of the armor of God — it is how a kingdom man fights spiritual warfare. Evans argues that many men are losing battles in their homes and communities because they have stopped fighting in prayer. Do you believe that? What would it mean to take prayer more seriously as warfare?
