Discussion Questions
General Impressions
Gather initial thoughts and broad opinions about the book.
1. Did you agree with Meyer’s view of the mind as a battlefield? Did anything surprise you, or did you find anything particularly striking?
2. Meyer writes from the background of a charismatic Christian, and she frequently cites beliefs and practices that are distinctive to that tradition. Do you share that background, and if not, which parts of it do you find either compelling or problematic?
3. Are you familiar with any of the controversies surrounding Joyce Meyer Ministries, such as criticisms of her lavish lifestyle? Do these controversies affect the way you receive her counsel in Battlefield of the Mind?
Personal Reflection and Connection
Encourage readers to reflect on how the book relates to their own life or work and how its lessons could help them.
1. Which “wilderness mentalities” have you experienced in your own life? Are there any other wilderness mentalities that you would add to Meyer’s list?
2. Given Meyer’s descriptions, do you see yourself as someone who is mostly positive in their thinking, mostly negative, or somewhere in between?
3. Of the “abnormal” and unhealthy states of mind that Meyer deals with in Part 2, which do you struggle with? Do you think it’s possible to grow beyond that state of mind, and if so, how?
