Scott Hatfield returns for this
episode of Locker Room to talk about those important words many of
us have said in our vows, "...in sickness and in
health."
Scott and his wife Sarah have walked
through many tough seasons over the 27 years of their
marriage.
1. Everyone has a unique story
about how they met their wife. Share your story or, if not married,
where you’re at in the journey toward marriage.
2. Hatfield was led by God to make some decisions relationally that
paved the way for his marriage to Sarah. How do prayer, worship,
and God’s word feed into your own relational world?
3. As you heard Hatfield share his story, which parts of their
“adventures together” resonated most to encourage, challenge, or
inspire you?
4. Sarah jokes that she was in great health and perfect condition
before she and Scott met. They quickly faced challenges that
required faithfulness to their vow: “In sickness and in health.”
How has this vow, or another wedding vow, been a challenge and/or
an anchor in your life?
5. Both Nickell and Hatfield compiled a list of “learnings” from
going through challenges and hard times: We’re more selfish than we
know; If we could change it we would; Sometimes it takes
counseling; The church is an amazing family; The husband is called
to be Jesus to his bride. Which of them are lessons you have
learned? Which ones do you want or need to learn?
6. Hatfield shared several great bits of advice for thriving in
marriage. Which of these do you sense God wants you to implement in
your marriage? Worship together; Leave it all on the field; Do what
it takes; Don’t hit the eject button; Lay down your
expectations.
7. How do you need to ask God to work in you, your life, your
relationships, and/or your marriage this week? Do that
now.
