Discussion Questions
7 questions1.The title of the book comes into sharpest focus here: 'nothing to prove' is possible only because Jesus has already proven everything. What does it mean to you, specifically, that Jesus is enough — not as a cliché, but as a lived reality?
2.Allen distinguishes between saying 'Jesus is enough' and actually living as though he is. What does the gap between those two things look like in your daily life? Where do your actions reveal that you're still trying to supplement Jesus with something else?
3.In John 15, Jesus commands his disciples to 'abide' in him — to remain, to stay connected. Allen builds on this image. What does abiding actually look like as a practice, beyond just reading your Bible? How is it different from performing spiritual disciplines in order to earn something?
