Lysa turns to one of Scripture's most heartbreaking stories — Leah, the unloved wife — as a mirror for anyone who has ever felt like they were someone's second choice or unwanted from the beginning.

Discussion Questions

7 questions

1.Leah was given in marriage through deception and lived in the shadow of her more beautiful, more loved sister Rachel. Have you ever felt like someone's second choice, or like you were unwanted from the start? What did that feel like?

2.Lysa notes that Scripture says "the Lord saw that Leah was not loved" — and then God opened her womb. What does God's specific attentiveness to Leah's pain tell us about how He responds to those who are overlooked?

3.Leah names her sons in ways that reveal her longing for her husband's love — "Now my husband will love me" and "Now he will become attached to me." How do we do the same thing — trying to earn love through performance, achievement, or giving people what they want?
