Review this week's message.

Key Thought: We are pregnant with unlimited potential, and it is time to give ourselves permission to dream then deliver relentlessly on our goals.

Start talking. Find a conversation starter for your group.
• What makes pursuing goals and dreams difficult for many people? • What are examples of discipline and self-control that have inspired you? • When we meet new people, we can be inspired or intimidated, why do you think some people choose to be intimidated?

Start thinking. Ask a thoughtful question.
• How do discipline and self-control play a role in pursuing your God-given dreams? • Why must you visualize your completed dream? • Name some people who inspire you, then take a moment to discuss what it is about them that makes you feel that way.

Start sharing. Choose questions that create openness.
• What big, bold dream would you live out if you knew you couldn’t fail? • What would you do with your life if money were no object? If you didn’t care what other people thought? • Have you ever believed God couldn’t use you? Share some ways you’ve seen God use other members of this group.

Start praying. Be bold, and pray with power.
Thank you, Heavenly Father, for giving us the encouragement, ability, and permission to dream big, bold visions for our future. We give control over to You for our lives as we realize we’re pregnant with possibility and visualize the completed dream You placed within us. Scripture tells us Your power is made perfect in our weakness, so today, as we promise You we’ll pursue our goals relentlessly, we ask that You help us through the pain that comes with delivering our dreams. Help us live bold, unlimited lives, Father. And never let us forget that what we pursue is always for Your glory, not our own. We pray all this in your Son’s precious and holy name. Amen.

Start doing. Commit to a step and live it out this week.
• Give yourself permission to dream, then share with the group what your dream looks like fully realized. Ask for help making it come true. • Relentlessly set and write goals for the next five years, one year, six months, three months, and one month, then pursue those goals.
