Discussion Questions
- What are some of your favorite memories together with your dad? What makes them special to you?
- How would you sum up your father's life lesson to you? (e.g. Work hard and you'll get ahead, look out for #1, you can't really trust anyone...)
- Do you agree with the idea that masculinity (i.e. Who a man is and what he's got) is passed down? How would you assess your receiving of this gift?
- This chapter comes down pretty hard on fathers, in terms of their inadequacy in "bestowing" masculinity. Do you think it is a fair portrayal? Can you identify with taking "an arrow" in your place of strength or being "wounded?" Do any of you feel like your "injury" is do to an absent father? - see Psalm 109-21-22 and consider Bly's quote "Not receiving any blessing from your father is an injury...."
You guys are doing great!
