Discussion Questions
8 questions1.As you look back across the entire book, which chapter or discipline had the greatest personal impact on you? What made it land so powerfully?
2.At the beginning of this study, how would you have described your understanding of spiritual growth? How has that understanding shifted, even slightly, after working through Ortberg's argument?
3.Ortberg's core distinction is between 'trying' and 'training.' After weeks of reflection, has this distinction actually changed how you approach your spiritual life in practice — or has it remained mostly intellectual? Be honest.
