Been There Prayed That (9781622860845) (23 page)

1.
Lorain judged Unique because of her appearance and her social status. Have you, or someone you know, ever pre-judged a person by what was on the outside without taking the time to first learn about the type of person they were on the inside?

2.
Mother Doreen picked up and relocated to Kentucky. She felt she was on an assignment from God. Although when first arriving in Kentucky she wasn't one hundred percent sure about her being there, claiming to have had a mere gut feeling about why God had planted her feet in Kentucky. Still she was obedient and waited on God to reveal her purpose to her. Have you ever just done something because God had ordered you to without knowing exactly why? Did God eventually reveal the purpose?

3.
Tamarra seems to be tested in the area of forgiveness over and over again. Why do you think this is so?

4.
Do you feel that the pastor of New Day Temple of Faith is too passive? That perhaps Pastor should have done something more about Lorain and Unique getting in to it at church besides appointing them to work together? Do you feel that Lorain should have just immediately been removed from her leadership position? How would you have handled the situation had you been in Pastor's shoes?

5.
Mother Doreen is known for her sweet, gentle, and kind spirit. She seems to become an entirely different person around Pastor Frey though, becoming snippy and sharp. Is there a person in your life who always seems to draw you out of character? What are ways you have dealt with that situation or person?

6.
Do you agree with the fact that even though some of the New Day Temple of Faith members fall short of the glory, Pastor still puts them in leadership positions? Why or why not?

7.
Although Sadie and Hudson never seemed to be directly involved in all the drama that was taking place around them, they were well aware of it. Do adults sometimes take for granted, or perhaps maybe are oblivious to the fact, that every closed eye ain't asleep? Do they realize children are watching them and their own actions could affect those of their children?

8.
Do you agree with how Pastor handled the meetings with Unique and Lorain when they had complaints against one another? Instead of meeting with them one on one, Pastor had the three of them meet together? Why or why not?

9.
Lorain was shocked that Unique had much biblical knowledge, could pray, and could speak in tongues. Were you? Had you pre-judged Unique as well? Is there anybody in real life you have done this to?

10.
What biblical story can you relate to Bethany and her husband's situation?

11.
Broady had been healed and delivered by God from the spirit of pedophilia. Do you have a hard time believing that God is powerful enough to do such a thing?

12.
Broady stated that by the church and the people in his life knowing of his past, they were able to “watch him” and hold him accountable for his actions. Do you have anyone in your life besides God who is there to hold you accountable for your actions?

13.
Do you think there are church leaders, such as Pastor Frey, who cover for the wrong doings of their pastors?
