Week 4: Chapter 4 — Refilling the Reservoir

1.Cordeiro makes the case that refilling is not selfish — it is what allows us to keep giving. Did that argument land for you, or does part of you still resist the idea that investing in your own renewal is legitimate? Where does that resistance come from?

2.The author describes how Jesus repeatedly withdrew from the crowds — even urgent crowds — to pray and be alone with the Father (Mark 1:35 is one example). What does it tell us about Jesus' understanding of his own humanity that he made withdrawal a regular practice, not a last resort?
