Study leader reference - not a definitive answer
Question 10
The speaker urges specific “don’t waste this crisis” practices: Zoom meetings, more phone calls than WhatsApp, outdoor visits with distancing, increased family devotions, and devotional reading like *A Serious Call to a Devout and Holy Life*; which of these concrete suggestions most exposes weaknesses in your current habits, and what would repentance look like in scheduling, media use, and family leadership over the next month?
Another way to ask: He suggests practical ways to not waste the crisis (Zoom, more phone calls, outdoor visits with distance, more family devotions, devotional reading). Which suggestion shows the biggest weakness in your habits, and what changes should you make in the next month with your schedule, media use, and leading your family?

Direct Answer
The transcript doesn’t identify which suggestion is weakest for you personally, but it frames “repentance” in this season as intentional, scheduled spiritual and relational habits: set up workable communication (Zoom/phone), practice wise in-person contact, and strengthen daily family Bible reading, prayer, and devotional reading rather than drifting into wasted time.
- He urges preparedness for Zoom: “Download it right now… it’s free,” because delays happened when people weren’t ready.
- He prefers deeper connection than texts: “Kevin mentioned… we should be doing more phone calls… don’t just depend on the WhatsApp.”
- He recommends safer presence: outdoors is “the safest,” plus “social distancing… 6 feet or 10 feet.”
- He quotes Churchill: “Never let a good crisis go to waste,” applying it to learning and practice for future pressures.
- He emphasizes family leadership: “Increase your family devotional time… start it right now… reading the Bible together, praying together.”
- He recommends devotional reading, naming *A Serious Call to a Devout and Holy Life*, and urges using extra time for “wholesome reading.”
