We live in an age of endless options and relentless busyness—and the lies about priorities feel especially natural because they are dressed in good, even noble-sounding things. These questions help you evaluate what is truly first.
Discussion Questions
7 questions1.Among the lies Nancy addresses in this chapter—'I don't have time for that,' 'My work is more important than my home,' 'I can have it all,' 'I have to do everything perfectly or not at all'—which one most resonates with struggles you face in your own scheduling and choices?
2.Nancy uses the contrast between Mary and Martha (Luke 10:38–42) to illustrate the danger of letting good, necessary activities crowd out the 'one thing needed.' In what ways does your life look more like Martha's? What would sitting at Jesus' feet look like for you today?
3.The lie 'I can have it all' promises that we can excel equally in career, family, friendship, ministry, and self-care without sacrificing any of them. What does Nancy say about the reality of trade-offs, and where do you feel the tension of that most acutely?
