Start talking. Find a conversation starter for your group.
- What were your favorite movies growing up?
- Where would you build your dream home?
- What is your favorite hobby?
- If you could have lunch with anyone, past or present, who would it be?
Start thinking. Ask a thoughtful question.
- What does it mean to be chosen by God?
- What does it mean to have a “father wound”?
- What are some of the traps of the world aimed at distracting us from our God-given purpose?
- How can we protect ourselves from the spiritual attacks we face internally and externally?
Start sharing. Choose questions that create openness.
- Tell the group about a time where you felt the enemy attacking you’re God-given identity.
- What would you want people to remember about you when you’re no longer here on this earth?
- How has God given you confidence during a time when you felt inadequate?
- You are chosen by God. Period. How does that make you feel?
Start praying. Be bold, and pray with power.
Dear Jesus, may you put any broken pieces in my heart back together and remind me who I am in you. Give me hope and peace that only you can give me. Thank you for loving me Jesus. Amen.
Start doing. Commit to a step and live it out this week.
- Become a friend or family member’s cheerleader. Encourage them with the promises of God and who He says they are!
- Pray that God will heal your heart of any past wounds in your life.
- Write down a personal mission statement that you want to be remembered by. Commit every day to living that mission statement out.
