📚 Currently Reading
Growing Downward
by Nick Thompson
An invitation to embrace humility as the path to Kingdom greatness — challenging everything culture tells us about success, upward mobility, and influence.
Current Discussion

Growing Downward — Discussion Questions

Bring these to your group, your journal, or your quiet time. Let the Word weigh in on what you're reading.

Chapter Theme
Where in your life have you been most tempted to measure success by going up instead of going down?
"He must increase, but I must decrease." — John 3:30 (AMP)
Humility vs. Modesty
Thompson challenges the idea that humility means thinking less of yourself. How does Scripture define it differently than culture?
"Do nothing from selfishness or empty conceit." — Philippians 2:3 (AMP)
Kingdom Service
What's one area of your life where you sense God inviting you to serve rather than be served?
"For even the Son of Man came not to be served but to serve." — Mark 10:45 (AMP)
Legacy Question
How does growing downward actually produce the influence and legacy that growing upward promises but rarely delivers?
"He who humbles himself will be exalted." — Luke 14:11 (AMP)
