Week 10: Chapter 10 — Building a Sustainable Life

1.Cordeiro describes the difference between a reactive life — always responding to the urgent — and a proactive life that is built on intentional rhythms. Honestly, which word better describes your current life? What would it take to move toward the latter?

2.Jesus' parable of the builder in Luke 14 asks whether you have counted the cost before you build. Cordeiro uses this as a metaphor for sustainable ministry — you must plan for the long race, not just the next quarter. What does counting the cost of ministry look like for you in this season?

3.The author writes about the importance of annual and quarterly planning that builds in rest, retreat, and renewal — not as afterthoughts, but as non-negotiables scheduled first. What would your next twelve months look like if renewal were scheduled before everything else?
