The first practice of the SACRED pathway may be the hardest one for modern people: simply stopping — and Ann asks us to consider what we are actually afraid will happen if we do.
Discussion Questions
8 questions1.Ann introduces STOP as the first letter in her SACRED acronym. In her framework, stopping is not passivity — it is an act of faith. What is the difference between stopping in defeat and stopping in trust?
2.'Be still and know that I am God' (Psalm 46:10) is one of the most-quoted and least-practiced verses in the Bible. Why do you think stillness is so threatening to us? What does your busyness protect you from feeling?
3.Voskamp connects the practice of stopping to the Jewish concept of Sabbath — a built-in weekly protest against the idea that everything depends on us. How seriously do you practice any form of Sabbath, and what does your answer reveal about your functional theology?
