Discussion Questions
8 questions1.Moore argues that a deeply rooted sense of rejection can become a stronghold — a lens through which every relationship and circumstance is interpreted. How does an old wound of rejection shape what we expect from God, from others, and from life in general?
2.Psalm 27:10 says, 'Though my father and mother forsake me, the LORD will receive me.' Moore holds up this verse as God's direct answer to the deepest rejection a person can experience. Have you ever felt forsaken — by a parent, a friend, a church, a spouse? How does this verse speak into that wound?
3.Ephesians 1:3–14 is a sustained declaration of the believer's acceptance in Christ: chosen, adopted, redeemed, sealed. Moore insists that praying this passage regularly can rewire the rejected heart over time. Read it aloud together now. Which phrase feels most personally powerful? Which one is hardest to receive?
