Love Does by Bob Goff

Week 15: Chapter 14 — "Crashing the Boards"

Read Chapter 14 of Love Does by Bob Goff.

Bob uses a basketball image to talk about persistence, positioning, and the willingness to be in the right place at the right time — not for glory, but simply to be useful.

Discussion Questions

7 questions

1.What does "crashing the boards" mean in basketball, and how does Bob use the image? What is the spiritual or relational equivalent he is pointing toward?

2.Rebounding is often the least glamorous part of basketball — it requires effort, positioning, and a willingness to do unglamorous work. What are the equivalents in your life — the unglamorous, consistent efforts that make everything else possible?

3.Bob seems to be less interested in being impressive than in being useful. How countercultural is that instinct, and how does it show up practically in how he lives and loves?
