Here are a few questions to provoke discussion. Please don't reply to this thread, but start one of your own...

1. What does the word “disciple” mean for you today? In what ways do you think it could be “costly?”

2. How far would you be willing to go? What changes would you be willing to make? What risks would you be willing to take?

3. How might we transform our negative fears into positive energy? How could we help others to do the same?

4. What privilege are you willing to recognize and renounce for the betterment of all?

5. What do we mean by evil today? In what ways do you think you can resist evil in our world, in your life?
