DISCUSSION QUESTIONS:
1. What, if any, were some of the most thought-provoking comments in today's message? Why?
2. What, if any, were some of your favourite comments or thoughts from today's message? Why?
3. What, if any, were some of the thoughts or ideas that you disagree with? Why?
4. Do you agree with the notion that Christianity has moved from the centre of society to the margins? Why or why not?
5. Assuming the concepts behind the message were accurate, do you think the role of a pastor is more important or less important than it has been historically in the Canadian Church? Explain your answer.
• If you said the role of the pastor is less important, what role(s) has replaced it?
• If you said the role of a pastor is more important, how do you reconcile that answer with the reality of the shortage of people entering training for ministry or ministry positions as well as the high percentage of current pastors considering leaving ministry? What should we make of all of that?
6. Assuming the role of a pastor is still helpful, what should it look like in 2025 Toronto?
7. Do you agree that the battle we face is against indifference rather than persecution? Why or why not?
8. Which prayer request(s) resonated with you most deeply? Why do you think that is?
9. Did today's message encourage or discourage you as a follower of Jesus in 21st-century Canada? Explain your answer.
10. Do you think this message accurately represented the entire Canadian Church, or just our local church in Toronto?
