Discussion Questions:

1. How would you describe your purpose for life and/or the mission of your life? How does

knowing and living out your purpose increase your joy?

2. What does it mean to exalt Christ in your life? What kinds of things are present in your life

that help people see Jesus in bigger and more brilliant ways?

3. Why is “to live is Christ” the only way that makes death gain? What struggles have you had

with making other things your life?

4. How is “to live is Christ” at odds with our culture’s view of retirement? What ways could

retirement be used to magnify Christ?

5. Why would Paul knowingly choose a path that will bring him suffering and agony? Why is it

so difficult to choose this path in our culture? What does “living as a citizen worthy of the

Gospel” look like?
