Discussion Questions

1. 1)Lincoln said the ground at Gettysburg had already been “consecrated” by the lives of the soldiers who fought and died there. What do you think makes a place—or a moment—truly sacred? Have you ever stood somewhere or experienced something that felt like it carried more meaning than words could explain?
2. 2)Instead of focusing on the past, Lincoln challenged the living to commit themselves to “the unfinished work” of freedom and equality. What’s a part of that unfinished work today—and what’s one small way you can carry that torch forward in your own life?
3. 3)Lincoln used just 272 words to change the course of how people thought about their country. Why do you think short, powerful words often last longer than long speeches or loud opinions? Can you think of a time when just a few words changed your perspective—or someone else’s?
