Unbelief is perhaps the most subtle stronghold of all — it can masquerade as realism, humility, or even theological precision. This week, let these questions expose where your faith actually lives.
Discussion Questions
8 questions1.Moore identifies unbelief not merely as intellectual doubt but as a functional posture — living as though God cannot or will not act on our behalf. What is the difference between honest doubt (which God welcomes) and unbelief as a stronghold (which God calls us to war against)?
2.Romans 10:17 tells us that 'faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.' Moore builds her entire approach on this verse. How does praying Scripture specifically feed and strengthen faith in a way that other forms of prayer might not?
3.The desperate father in Mark 9:24 cries out, 'I believe; help my unbelief!' Moore treats this as a model prayer — honest, desperate, and aimed at the right Person. Have you ever prayed something this raw? What makes it hard to be that honest with God?
