Week 17 · Lesson 1

The Work

Eight questions. What you write is read by your facilitator and nobody else. Not your officer, not your school, not your family, and not in any report. Two of these you do not write down at all.

5Answer this one in your head

Nobody reads this one. What happens in your head between eleven at night and three in the morning?

6Written

Same offer at two in the afternoon and at eleven at night. Write about a time the time of day made the decision for you.

7Scripture · multiple choice

In the garden Jesus said He was crushed, asked to be let out of it three times, and then chose. What does the order teach?

  • A That He almost quit.
  • B That feeling all of it, naming it out loud, and then choosing is strength, not the opposite.
  • C That God ignored Him.
  • D That He should have kept it to Himself.
8Scripture · answer in your head

Nobody reads this one. He told His friends how bad it was before He decided anything. Who could you say something true to before your next hard decision?

Nothing you write here goes to your officer, your school or your family.
