In this episode Scott talks about how to cultivate deep security in who we are.
1) What has been your past experience with cultivating deep
security in who you are? What struggles have you encountered?
2) How have you historically been taught about God being
all-knowing? How have you reacted to that truth? How have you tried
to cover up things from God or clean up things for God?
3) Scott points out, there is no point in hiding from God because
he is all-knowing. There are no deficiencies, inadequacies, faults,
sins, weaknesses, that God sees in us as believers ...so then there
is no point in hiding from him. What keeps you from viewing
yourself the way God does?
4) God fully sees the good attributes you have. He sees your
strengths, abilities, talents, courage, care, love, and giftedness.
What are some of the good attributes you do have?
5) God sees you for who you are really (both good and bad) and
loves you dearly in light of it all. His love for you is not up for
negotiation.
6) We have all struggled for seeing validation from others. Who
have you sought validation from? And what circumstances or
situations are you most susceptible to seeing validation?
7) Take a look at your life? What, if it was taken away from you,
would you lose your identity? Power, position, influence, status,
wealth, appearance, etc.
8) What is it, if left unchecked, could begin to identify you? How
can you begin to cultivate a deep security in who you are so as not
to develop a life of insecurity? Who in your life helps you
maintain a real perspective of who you are?
