Discussion Questions
8 questions1.Deborah speaks about a dream or vision related to the Mission and the work she believes God has called her to do. How does that vision sustain her during the physical suffering of cancer treatment? What does it look like to live for something larger than your own survival?
2.How does Deborah's faith during her illness avoid both of the common failure modes — denial (pretending everything is fine) and despair (collapsing under the weight of it)? What is the third way she navigates?
3.Deborah continues to pray specifically and persistently for Denver even as her own condition worsens. What does this tell us about where her heart is — and about what she believes prayer actually does?
a.When you are in personal crisis, does your prayer life tend to narrow inward or continue to reach outward? What does Deborah's example challenge in you?
b.What does it mean to intercede for someone — to stand in the gap for them before God — the way Deborah does for Denver?
