Lysa introduces one of the book's most memorable illustrations to help us understand the difference between our perceived worth and our actual, God-assigned worth — and why we keep getting the two confused.
Discussion Questions
7 questions1.Lysa uses the image of a corroded penny versus a dazzling dime to illustrate how we tend to assess our own worth — by our appearance, performance, and how others respond to us rather than by an inherent, fixed value. How much of your sense of worth on any given day is driven by external feedback?
2.She makes the point that a corroded penny is still worth a penny, and a dazzling dime is still worth only a dime — external appearance does not change inherent value. How does this image challenge the way you compare yourself to others?
3.Lysa describes walking into a room and immediately clocking the woman on the elliptical who seems more toned, more put-together, more "valuable" than she feels. When do you most easily fall into that kind of comparison, and what does it do to you internally?
