Questions for Discussion...Chapter 1

“What’s Deep Justice and How Do I Know if I’m Doing It?” by Kara Powell


Does Jesus approve of the “shallow” responses to injustice (“Quick-And-Easy-Physical-Solution” and “Warm-And-Fuzzy-Relational-Solution”)? Where do you see examples of these responses in Scripture? In your church? In your life?

Where have you seen a “Deep-Systemic-Solution” taken in Scripture? In your church? In your community?

Are you okay with not fixing everything (did Jesus heal all the lepers in Israel in his lifetime?!)? Why or why not?

There are times where God calls us to enter more deeply into systemic issues of injustice. How has this looked in your life? Are there any systemic issues God is calling you to address with a team?

“Why are you interested in deeper justice within your youth ministry? What are some of the barriers you might face as you pursue deep justice?” p. 22

“How do the backgrounds of the students in your ministry influence the way you seek deep justice for our broken world?” p. 22
