Love Does by Bob Goff

Week 14: Chapter 13 — "The New Landlord"

Read Chapter 13 of Love Does by Bob Goff.

Bob tells a story about a change in ownership — and uses it to describe what happens in our hearts when we stop trying to manage our own lives and let someone else take the title.

Discussion Questions

7 questions

1.What is the landlord story, and what spiritual truth does Bob draw from the change-of-ownership experience? Was the comparison effective for you?

2.The idea of surrender — of giving up control — is central to the Christian life, but it is one of the hardest things most people ever do. What makes it hard? Is it fear, pride, past experience, or something else?

3.Bob frames the Christian life not as a set of rules imposed by an absentee landlord but as a life shaped by a good owner who is present and who genuinely wants what is best. How does your functional picture of God compare to that? What formed your picture?
