THE UNHURRIED LIFE: Living On Purpose

Mark concludes the Unhurried Life series by discussing a Rule of Life and living on purpose. Exploring the life and example of Daniel, we see how to be faithful when we are living in a world contrary to God's unhurried pace. Daniel 1:8-16 and 6:6-12. www.thevineaustin.org DISCUSSION QUESTIONS: 1. What has been your experience with The Unhurried Life podcast? Is there an episode that has lingered with you? 2. What is something from the sermon that has stayed with you- either as encouraging, curious or confusing? 3. As you consider Daniel 1, why is choosing to reject royal food/drink so important? How could that translate to our life and what we consume? 4. Read Daniel 6:10. "Now when Daniel learned that the decree had been published, he went home to his upstairs room where the windows opened toward Jerusalem. Three times a day he got down on his knees and prayed, giving thanks to his God, just as he had done before.” Discuss why this practice of prayer would have been so powerful for Daniel, especially as a exile. 5. As you consider developing a rule of life going forward, what are you wanting to include in your rule of life? 6. As we conclude this series, what are some lessons, experiences, or practices that you take with you?
