The Issues Men Face with Jennifer Wallace

Nov 5, 2018

Jennifer is the first female guest on Locker Room! In this episode she shares with us some of what she's learned about men through many years of counseling.

1. Jennifer Wallace says that her job consists of “listening to people's stories.” Take a moment to think about the high point and low point of your past week. Share your story.
2. The number one reason men do not seek help is because of pride; we are unwilling to look weak. How is this true for you, specifically?
3. Our struggles today are rooted in our past. Either we did not receive things we should have, or things were done to us that should not have been. Which has affected you more? How?
4. Recently men have been more willing to come forth and admit to Jennifer that they need help because they are “tired of feeling stuck.” Where and why do you feel stuck?
5. In what area of your life have you settled for the lie that “things are never going to change?” (example: relationships, career, addictions) Why do you believe this?
6. Common obstacles that keep men from getting where they want to be in life are fear, broken relationships, and habits or patterns that need to be changed. Which one of the three resonates with you and why?
7. In John 10:10 Jesus says, “I came that they may have life and have it abundantly.” If you worked together to define “abundant life”, what words or phrases would you include?
8. Jennifer mentioned three components that help lead to freedom: honesty, vulnerability, and accountability. Name one person you are going to contact this week, to be honest and vulnerable, and ask for accountability. Next week share how that conversation went.
