http://www.lgvoight.com/Loder.pdf

From the book Guerrillas of Grace by Ted Loder

can you leave the question us for a few seconds longer, please

need question 3 please

can you put up the 3rd question? Thank you

Can you go back to question 3?

great insight about inner compulsions and addictions

link for that quote please?

These questions are great! Please send us a PDF or where we can find these questions to reference and/or check in later. Thank you!

These questions are in the back of Ruth's book "Strengthening the Soul of Your Leadership"

Thanks Paul!

Paul is going to put all of the questions into the chat so that you can copy them more easily.

#3 I find myself rushing from one thing to the next without time to really pay attention to what's going on in and around me.

#9 I find myself increasingly giving in to escapist behaviours (eating, mindless television viewing, substance abuse, shopping/spending, pornography, etc.) or escapist fantasies - dreaming about being somewhere else or having a different life

It seems there is a very fine line between escapist and just chillin' watching a favorite flick - It seems escapist behavior may masquerade as life-giving ...

#10 I do not have time for attending to my human needs - exercise, eating right, getting enough sleep, doctor's appointments and medical procedures, picking up dry cleaning, getting the car washed, making home repairs, etc.

#11 My most significant human relationships are getting shortchanged.

#12 I don't have time to regularly engage in hobbies and other activities.

that bring me joy

That's you btw, not me...

#13 I find myself hoarding energy - avoiding people in the grocery store, holing up at my home or in my office - for fear that routine social interactions will rob me of that last bit of energy.

My numbering is following the book btw

#14 My spiritual practices have slipped. Even though I know that practices such as solitude, prayer and personal reflection on Scripture are life giving, I find I don't have time or energy for them.

This seems very close to #5...it's hard to see how they are different?

#15 I feel isolated with no one to fully confide in and no one who fully understands my situation.

Okay, I will go to the number system she is using now, sorry about that

It has been a long time since I have felt connected with the presence of God in my own life beyond what I am accomplishing for God and for others. Sometimes I suspect that my vision for the promised land of how I/we are going to make a difference in the world has become more important to me than my own relationship with God.

Can we just get slide #3 back on the screen for a minute please?

Is there a link to this document with the list of questions?

Is there a difference between listening to our own souls and listening to the Spirit?

How is #11 different than #5?

Yes—that’s helpful. Thank you!

Is there a way we can get a link for the PDF?

If you have a question for Ruth, please post it.

Yes, we can send the pdf link.

There seems a fine line between escapist behavior and relaxing?

I will not be able to participate I'm

in small group at this time, sorry

Can we take a five minute break before small groups?

Will you please write down those questions for our discussion? Thanks.

Actually they import into the group chat

I'm not in a group yet. I joined late.

So grateful! I would have loved a PDF sent prior to have in front of me with questions. Wonderful time together

what a blessing, thank you!

Paul- it's good to know it can be done

Yes, a PDF of the questions we answered and the answers for the break out rooms would be good for the future. Thank you all!

This was excellent! Thank you so very much!

not answers, the questions for the break out rooms, thank you!

Thank you so much!

This fed my soul. Thank you!

Thanks for this. Two break outs with half the questions then a breakout and then the second half of the questions with a break out - Having the question in a pdf in the chat would also be helpful - Great day full of fruitful suggestions
