Chapter 9: Discernment in Action
This chapter’s resource from Leadership Transformations is entitled “Examen Questions for Personal or Group Reflection” - a list of questions that help you ponder prayerfully the state of your Kingdom-focused life with God and in community with others. It’s good for the soul to regularly consider how best to recover the truest and deepest priorities for noticing God in everything and practicing a preference for him in our daily lives.
Tuck this one inside your copy of The Discerning Life - it may come in handy in the future.
All the best,
Steve
