Question 1. In what ways is the story of Leonora SIMILAR and DIFFERENT to the story of the Prodigal Son?

Question 2. Is Leonora a prodigal daughter? Why or why not?

Question 3. How about Leonora's father? How do the three stories in Luke, Chapter 15, describe him?

Question 4. That is, what are some elements that a Christian in particular might identify as CAUSAL in nature- in thinking about terrorism - on an individual, group or national/international level?

(How about: Man's sin nature; living in a fallen world; the existence of evil in the world)?

Question 5. Are there particular scriptures that speak to you as you think about these issues?

Here I am always struck by Proverbs 14:12: New King James Version.

There is a way that seems right to a man, But its end is the way of death.

(I think it helps to explain the arrogant hubris that might enable someone to be recruited to a terrorist movement.)

Question 6. Think about Leonora PRIOR to her recruitment - What factors do you think led to her recruitment? How might her life have been different if she knew Jesus?

Question 7. Does Leonora's story point us towards any actions that Christians in particular might take in reaching out to people like Leonora, that might be in danger of being recruited by a group like ISIS?

Question 8. How did Leonora's failure to repent erect a barrier to forgiveness and reconciliation in the video?

Question 9. How might Jesus be the solution to Leonora and her father's problem? What might that solution look like?
