SOME QUESTIONS ABOUT FREEDOM
When (in the last year) have you been most aware or appreciative of your "freedom"--the vast
spaciousness, depth, wild ruggedness, wide-openness, opportunity, flexibility... in your
relationship with God/relationships with (an)other Christian(s)? (Or you might ask when
have you felt
least inhibited, restricted, uptight, policed, stiff, shut down, compressed?)
What did you like about it? Did anything about it make you uncomfortable? How long
did it last? What ended it?
What/who are the enemies to your freedom right now? Are they external or internal? Aggressive
or subtle? Who would oppose you if you were radical about embracing your freedom?
Who would be threatened, insecure? What weapons/methods are these enemies using?
Who is encouraging you to live more freely? How are they doing that? How do you feel around
them right now? How do you treat them?
What are some areas/arenas of your life where you know you are not free? Are there any areas of
your life where you're not sure if you're free or not?
What things are you proud of/defensive about that are roadblocks to freedom? Are there any
ways you may be in process of robbing somebody else's freedom? How are you doing
that?
Choose 1-2 areas of your life (a certain relationship or group of relationships, role, job, area of
character growth, discipline etc.) Describe it, paint a vivid picture of it for yourself. What
radical steps could you take to receive it? What would be costly, painful about being
radical?
