Questions/Issues Discussed:
What are three goals found in “I Want to Escape”? While discussing the
goals, Rush says: “When the pressures rise and we feel like we need to
escape, we don’t tend to draw near to Jesus as a present person helping us and
giving us hope in the moment.” This is so true! His prayer is that this
book will help people draw near to Jesus first.
What are four common ways we seek to escape rather than trust God? Rush
discusses denial, distraction, deflect/destroy, and death.
How does the escape route of denial work against us? (Psalm 16:11)
How can we help someone we know and love who just wants to “escape”?
Rush believes that the only way we can truly help is to rely on the Lord and to
urge our loved ones to seek the Lord, in addition to seeking professional help,
both spiritually and medically.
