Week 7: Part Two, Chapter 6 — Practice Two: Simplicity

1.Comer defines simplicity not as minimalism for aesthetics, but as the intentional clearing away of anything that keeps you from loving God and neighbor with your whole self. How is that definition broader — or more challenging — than you expected?

2.He argues that the complexity of modern life is not just a logistical problem but a spiritual one — each commitment, possession, and option we add is a demand on our attention and energy. What areas of your life feel most cluttered right now: your schedule, your digital life, your finances, your possessions?

3.Comer points to Jesus' teaching on money and anxiety in Matthew 6 — "You cannot serve both God and money" — and connects it directly to simplicity. Why is the accumulation of wealth and stuff so spiritually dangerous, in Jesus' view? Do you find that warning credible in your own experience?
