It's hard to believe our summer book club is already coming to an end. We have LOVED reading with you! In this final book club episode, Aprile and Amy chat all about chapters 17-19 of Beth Moore's Chasing Vines, sharing what stood out most to them and and how God is making the truths come alive amidst the beautiful mess of real life. Here are this week's discussion questions for those who are reading along with a friend or two:

- Why is community such an important part of the harvest?

- Do you see loving the hard-to-love as more of a box to check or as the whole entire list? 

- What kinds of qualifiers are you tempted to place on your love for those on the fringes (the downtrodden and marginalized)? In other words, how would you complete this sentence: I sacrificially love people if and when __________.

- How have you personally experienced the reality that wholehearted commitment to Jesus is where the joy is? (And that a divided heart diminishes joy.)

- Amy and Aprile talked a lot about social media in this episode and how the Lord is working on their hearts and actions. How is the Holy Spirit convicting you in this area?

- What are you most looking forward to in the new heaven and new earth as we enjoy the eternal feast of God's undiminished presence?

- What is your biggest takeaway from all 19 chapters of the book?

The song Aprile referenced: "Dear Me" by Nichole Nordeman
