1. Eric mentioned that we as the church need to be the church
that God is calling us to be. What kind of church do you feel God
calling us to be? What role do you play in that?
2. Read Proverbs 4:23. What sticks out to you? What is the
wellspring of life? What is the relationship between our heart and
the wellspring?
3. “You will not experience healing until you come out of hiding.”
Does this trouble you or give you peace? What areas of your life do
you need to expose?
4. Eric asked a great question, “Who do we have that we can be
recklessly honest with?” Answer this question for yourself.
5. “Isolation plus boredom always leads to destruction.” How has
this tendency plagued your life?
6. No one has talked worse to you than you. What are the common
comments you tell yourself? What lies about yourself have you
always believed? What does God’s grace say in opposition of
that?
7. Read Ephesians 2:8-9. When we understand that it is by grace we
are saved, not our own abilities, then we can silence our inner
critic. How do you wrestle with the tension of your inner
critic?
8. If we are not finding joy in other people finding comfort in the
embrace of our Heavenly Father, we are often being the other
Brother in the story of the Prodigal Son. Do you find yourself
running toward the rebels of our community or running away from
them?
9. Most people’s autobiographies lead with their greatest
accomplishments. For Derwin, he never mentioned in his bio that he
played in the NFL. What are some of your own leading
accomplishments you tend to tell people about? Why do you think you
want other people to know that about you?
