      Killing Lions Journal - John Eldredge

      Introduction

      You’ve just picked up a powerful little journal. This baby could change your life. We’re serious. This journal is a companion to the book Killing Lions: A Guide Through the Trials Young Men Face. That book is all about process, journey, a season of discovery, and development in a young man’s life. So, in the spirit of process we offer you this guide to bring the ideas in the book to the realities of your life. As an old proverb says,

      I hear and I forget

      I see and I remember

      I do and I understand

      Men learn by doing. You can read all you want about swinging a baseball bat, but that is nothing like going to the batting cages and taking a few swings yourself. You can watch motorcycle racing all day on your big-screen TV, but it is an entirely different universe when you straddle that bike and fire it up. This workbook is going to take your experience of Killing Lions and bring it home.

      We’ve divided each chapter into four categories:

      Reflect: First, we’ll give you some space and a handful of questions to journal about.

      Watch or Read: We’ll recommend books and movies we think you’ll really love, and that illustrate the ideas even further. A picture is worth a thousand words, as the saying goes.

      Do: There’s nothing that provides clarity like action, having something to go do. This is going to the cages or revving up that bike for each chapter.

      Talk About It: Because we’re hoping that you will not journey alone, we’re providing some questions for conversation with your pals.

      Living the Questions

      Killing Lions begins with questions; in the first paragraphs of the preface, Sam says,

      Before we dive in to the specifics each chapter addresses—money, women, career, etc.—we want to give you some room simply to voice your current questions. It really helps to name things, put words to what you are facing, what you are wrestling with. Sometimes simply naming the questions provides loads of clarity too.

      So—what are the issues you are facing these days? Where is life not making sense or getting complicated? What do you wish you had answers to?

      CHAPTER ONE

      College and Then What?

      The opening chapter of Killing Lions speaks to the questions surrounding school, work, and finding a life you can love. It is, in part, about chasing your dreams. It is also an attempt to reframe the decade of your twenties, or that period between high school and the thirties.

      Reflect

      Let’s just start with: What struck you most as you read this chapter? What leapt out?

      Has anyone offered to help you reframe this decade, this period of life between high school and having-a-family-and-a-real-job that is the thirties? What do you feel is expected of you in these years?

      Do you resonate with that—with the longing for meaning in your life?

      React to this idea—does it bring hope? How much of you believes it?
