Discussion Questions
7 questions1.Lysa argues that an overwhelmed schedule is not just a logistical problem but a spiritual symptom — it reveals something about what we truly believe and fear. What do you think your current schedule reveals about what you believe or fear?
2.She shares the concept that we often fill our schedules to avoid a deeper discomfort — the discomfort of stillness, of facing unresolved emotions, or of confronting what we truly want. Does busyness ever function as avoidance in your life? What might you be avoiding?
3.Lysa describes the cry of the heart beneath the overwhelmed schedule — a longing to matter, to be needed, to feel secure. Which of those longings resonates most with you, and how does it show up in the way you say yes?
