Chapter 16 · Section Four, Stage 2: Problem

The Mental Battle

You don't think your way out of the mental battle. You decide your way out.

The question this chapter asks

What decision have you been waiting to feel ready for?

Practice

20 minutes

Two voices

Two columns. In the first, write what the accusing voice says, word for word. In the second, write what the truthful voice answers. Read the second column out loud when you finish.

For the group

Seth heard two voices, one that said "you're done" and one that said "there's something more." What are the two voices saying to you right now? Write one sentence from each voice, then read both to the group.

For the leader

The exercise is hearing both voices named out loud. The group doesn't need to pick a winner. The naming is the work.

If your group prays together

Even though I walk through the darkest valley, I will fear no evil, for you are with me.

Psalm 23:4
