Before we can truly connect with others, Rebekah says we must first be rooted in our connection with God — and this chapter explores what that actually looks like in the daily rhythms of a busy life.
Discussion Questions
7 questions1.Rebekah frames our connection with God not as a religious obligation but as the root from which everything else in our lives either flourishes or withers (John 15:4–5). How does that imagery — vine and branch — change the way you think about prayer, Scripture, and worship?
2.She is honest that her own prayer life has gone through seasons of vibrance and seasons of dryness. Which season are you in right now? What has contributed to that reality?
3.Rebekah emphasizes the importance of Scripture reading as a daily rhythm — not just occasional Bible study but consistent, quiet engagement with God's Word. What is your current practice? What has helped or hindered you from making it consistent?
