Discussion Questions
7 questions1.Stormie argues that a man without a clear sense of purpose is adrift in ways that affect not only him but his marriage and family. Have you seen a connection between your husband's sense of purpose and his emotional health, engagement at home, or confidence? Describe it.
2.Ephesians 2:10 tells us we are God's 'workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.' How does praying this verse over your husband change the way you see him — including his unrealized potential or unfulfilled gifts?
3.Stormie encourages praying that your husband will hear clearly from God about his calling and direction. Have you ever prayed specifically for your husband's sense of calling? What would it mean to make that a consistent, expectant prayer?
