The Best Yes by Lysa TerKeurst

Week 6: Chapter 5 — The Awkward Places In-Between

Read Chapter 5 of The Best Yes. Key Scripture: Ecclesiastes 3:1–8.

Some of the most important decisions happen not in moments of crisis but in the quiet, uncertain in-between seasons. This chapter asks you to pay attention to the season you are actually in.

Discussion Questions

7 questions

1.Lysa uses the language of "in-between" seasons — times when you know a chapter is ending but the next hasn't clearly begun. Can you identify a current or recent in-between season in your own life? What has that felt like?

2.She argues that saying yes in the wrong season — even to a genuinely good thing — can be a mistake, because timing matters as much as the thing itself. Have you ever accepted a good opportunity at the wrong time? What happened?

3.Ecclesiastes 3 declares there is a time for everything under heaven. Lysa uses this passage to affirm that not every open door is God's invitation, and not every good idea is God's idea for right now. How do you discern whether an opportunity is right for this season of your life?
