Read Ordinary Saints by Robert Benne Chapter 3: Christian Nature: Filling the Cup of Being. I attached chapter 3 in JPG format below; each attachment is numerically organized with parentheses (Pages 45-59). 

Answer ODD questions at the end of the reading. Here are the questions.

1. Why does the author begin with reflections on the Trinitarian nature of the Christian faith? How does the quote from Ephesians fit into those reflections?

3. Does participation in the church "fill your cup," as the author claims?
In what ways does it and in what ways does it not?

5. What are your key sources of nurture? Do you need more nurture?
What do you think would be helpful?

7. The author seems concerned that an emphasis on nurture-especially recreation may lead to self-centeredness. Do you share that concern?
