Discussion Questions
7 questions1.Willard points to a range of classical spiritual disciplines — Scripture reading and meditation, prayer, fasting, solitude, worship, service, confession, and celebration. Which of these have you practiced most regularly? Which have you never seriously attempted?
2.He argues that the specific disciplines we need depend on our specific weaknesses and temptations — not everyone needs the same set of practices. Based on what you have learned about yourself through this study, which disciplines seem most targeted to your particular areas of need?
3.Solitude and silence are among the disciplines Willard emphasizes most strongly as correctives to the noise and distraction of modern life. What is your current practice of solitude and silence? What makes it difficult, and what have you found helpful?
