1 CRAZY LOVE c-group Study Throughout this book, you REALLY want to encourage your group to read, underline, star, highlight and engage the book. That way they will come in prepared to have a discussion. Also, there are a few times where the author directs you to a website to watch a video, please stress to your group the importance of watching those videos. There may be more questions here than you can get thru if your group is halfway willing to open up, so choose what you think will be the best questions for your group. Have a great study! Breakdown of Study: WEEK 1: PREFACE, CHAPTERS 1 AND 2 WEEK 2: CHAPTERS 3 AND 4 WEEK 3: CHAPTERS 5, 6, AND 7 WEEK 4: CHAPTERS 8, 9, AND 10 CRAZY LOVE DISCUSSION QUESTIONS 1 ST WEEK: PREFACE, CHAPTER 1 AND 2 1. Read the first paragraph of pg. 21, what do you think Chan means by American Christianity? Have you ever been bored with it?

2 2. On pg. 22, Chan says that it is important that we do not measure our spiritual health by the people around us. How do you measure your spiritual health? How would you describe your spiritual health right now? (Come on now, get honest!) 3. What were you thoughts on the two videos the book directed you to watch? Talk about Awe Factor and then talk about Just Stop and Think. 4. On pg. 29 Chan says that it confuses us when loving God is hard. Do you find loving God difficult? When is it hard for you, when is it not? 5. In Chapter 1, Chan goes through several traits of God, which one moved you the most? 6. Any other thoughts from Chapter 1, will somebody share something that they underlined or made note of that we have not discussed. 7. Do you think Chan s definition of worry and stress are fair? Read them from page 42. What thoughts come to mind as those are being read? 8. Chan says worry and stress reak of arrogance. Agree or disagree when you measure that against your life? Why? 9. Chan uses a movie analogy of how we are an extra and God is the main character, did that resonate with you? How old do you think you were when you realized that you were not the main character?

3 10. Why don t we live life like it could end today? Honestly, would you be ready: yes, no, not sure? 11. What other thoughts, questions, underlines, or notes did you have from chapter 2? 2 ND WEEK, CHAPTERS 3 AND 4 Please remember as you get into the heart of this book, it is some pretty hard stuff. Don t let your group get overwhelmed by it all, just try to point them to the question of Is what I m reading true and match up with the Bible? and if so what is God trying to change in my heart? Chapter 3: 1. Chan starts out talking about how his relationship with his father affected his view of God. How has your relationship/view of you earthly father affected your view of God? 2. Has becoming a parent affected your understanding of God s love for you? 3. On pg. 57 Chan is talking about motivation changing from guilt to love, why do you think there are so many Christians living off of guilt and fear as opposed to love?

4 4. Read the paragraph that starts with the irony on pg. 61. What is your first reaction to that? 5. What else stuck out to you in Chapter 3, what taught you, confused you, or affected you, what did you underline or highlight and why? Chapter 4: 1. Oh boy, how hard was it to finish this chapter? 2. First read the Parable of the Sower in Luke 8. Where do you find yourself in this parable? 3. On pg. 68 Chan says that he quickly found out that the American church is a difficult place to fit in if you want to live out New Testament Christianity. Agree or Disagree and why? 4. Would you describe yourself as in love with Jesus? Why or why not? (its okay to be really honest). 5. Which of the Lukewarm descriptions hit you the hardest? Have everyone share one of the Lukewarms that hit home for them. 6. Read out loud the first two paragraphs on pg. 80, make sure people understand that it is

5 about the process of transformation, its about which direction we are going. 7. What else from chapter four moved you, what did you underline or highlight, what caught your eye? 3 rd WEEK, CHAPTERS 5-7 Chapter 5 1. What were your overall impressions of this chapter? 2. Chan makes the case early in the chapters that there is no such thing as a lukewarm Christian? Wow, what do you think? 3. On pg. 85 Chan says the thought of a person calling himself a Christian without being a devoted follower of Christ is absurd. Is it thought of absurd in the American church? Why or why not? 4. Chan talks about how we sometimes are only willing to make changes in our lives if it affects our salvation. Read the questions he lists in 2 nd paragraph on pg. 86, can you relate

6 to those type of questions in your life or in your past? 5. It is very important to remember grace in this chapter, please have someone read starting on the bottom of pg. 87 with Each of us and read down to the paragraph that ends with God s grace on pg. 88. What is your reaction to those paragraphs? 6. On pg. 96 Chan says that nothing should concern us more than our relationship with God. What in your life can rise to the level of equal or greater importance than your relationship with God? 7. There was a ton to discuss in this chapter, so go back and share what else you underlined or stuck out to you in this chapter? Chapter 6 1. Answer the question John Piper asks starting at the bottom of page 100 and finishing on 101? 2. Chan makes the case midway down of pg. 101 that fear and guilt do not work to truly

7 change our lives. Have you experienced that to be true in your life? Why or why not? 3. Have you experienced seasons of your walk with God where it felt more like obligation than joy and pleasure? How do you overcome that? 4. On a scale of 1 to 10, how active is the Holy Spirit in your daily life? 5. Does your Christian work feel like work or does it feel like the natural expression of your love for God? 6. What else in chapter six caught your eye, or what else did you highlight or underline as you read? Chapter 7 1. In the second paragraph of this chapter, Chan asks several in-depth questions on pg Look at those, is there a question that really hits you more than the others? Pick one and tell us why. 2. Chan made the statement that something is wrong when our lives make sense to

8 unbelievers. Do you think there are parts of your lives that puzzle unbelievers? Like what? 3. On pg Chan tells a story of a friend who was struggling financially and upped his giving from 20% to 30% and God blessed his life. Are you buying that? Have you ever experienced anything like that? 4. Do you think your life is too comfortable? 5. What other parts of the chapter did you underline, or what stands out to you from this chapter? 4 th WEEK, CHAPTERS 8-10 Chapter 8 1. On pg. 133 Chan says that he is not saying it is wrong to pray for safety. If that is the case what do you think his point is when he is talking about the safety prayer? Do you agree? 2. Do you find yourself living a life that is very disconnected from the poor?

9 3. Ok, its been a good book, but now brother Chan has lost it completely. What was your reaction to his story about downsizing his house? 4. On pg. 139, Chan goes back to the crazy love themeand revisits the motivation for his love changing from fear to actually being in love with God. Has that concept grown on you throughout the book? Is it still an awkward thought to be in love with God? Is that the meaning of the greatest commandment? 5. React to the Obsessed description at the bottom of pg Does that describe you? 6. What else. From chapter 8 stuck in your head or challenged you? Chapter 9 1. Which one or two stories from chapter 9 stick out to you and why? 2. Is the type of life that the biographies outline in chapter 9 a life that seems a million miles away or does it seem within reach for you?

10 Chapter On pg. 166, Chan says I urge you to actually live as though each person you come into contact with is Christ. Why is that so hard? Do you think this book has helped you think in that way better or more often? 2. It turns out Chan is not saying we have to sell all of our stuff, instead on pg.168 he says we must learn to listen to and obey God, especially in a society where it s easy and expected to do what is most comfortable. Can you rank yourself on a 1-10 scale on your ability to listen to and obey God? What would you say to a brand new Christian that asks how do you do that? 3. Read outloud the last paragraph on pg. 169, have you experienced that in your own life? Do tell. 4. On pg. 170 Chan says trying harder doesn t work for him, what do you think he meant by that and can you relate? 5. Chan says that we never grow closer to God when we just live life; it takes deliberate pursuit and attentiveness. Is your current C-

11 group setup in a way that fosters and inspires that deliberate pursuit? What could you do for each other that help each other with deliberate pursuit? 6. What else stuck out to you from chapter 10 or even the interview with Chan in the back of the book? 7. What were your overall impressions of this study? What can you take away from this book that will truly matter 3 months from now? 8. There is an excerpt from Chan s newest book in the back of Crazy Love, your group can discuss if you want to do that study at some point down the road.
