Before diving in, sit with this question: when you imagine a spiritually mature person, what does their day actually look like — and is it different from yours?
Discussion Questions
7 questions1.Warren opens with an honest confession that her days often feel cluttered, distracted, and far from holy. How did her description of an ordinary day land on you? Did you recognize yourself in it?
2.She draws on the Anglican liturgical calendar's season of 'Ordinary Time' as a metaphor for the whole of daily life. What does the word 'ordinary' actually mean in that context, and why does recovering its original sense matter for the book's argument?
3.Warren distinguishes between 'big' spiritual moments — retreats, revivals, mountaintop experiences — and the slow formation that happens through repeated daily practice. Have you tended to think of spiritual growth primarily in terms of dramatic moments? What has that assumption cost you?
