At some point in our lives, we all have to do battle with hard things.
We’re back this week with Chris, Edgar, and Matt to share more of their stories. We’ll share stories of navigating the pain of divorce, choosing to partner with God on mission in your daily work, and the experience of walking through faith with a family member in the last steps of life.
If you missed last week’s episode, be sure to check it out first and come back here for part 2.
DISCUSSION GUIDE
What can we as men learn from Chris as he shared how he walked through divorce and healing from that?
Chris talked about how hard divorce was and how the enemy attacked him. How can men rally around other men going through this?
He talked also about how he was prepared for the hard moments going into dating and marriage again. What can we learn from that preparation even in the hardest things?
Chris mentioned his non-negotiables. These are super specific and deep. What challenged you about that list?
“Men, we are not our vocations.” How have you struggled with knowing that what you do for a job isn’t fully who you are as a man?
Southland has a strategy that we would be a church that encourages people to be “with Jesus, in community, on mission.” Edgar has the opportunity to do this in his work as a realtor. What encourages you to share Jesus even at your workplace?
There were stories shared about opportunities Edgar had to share the gospel and deepening relationships with people and families. How can you become more bold to share God with people you get an opportunity to work with?
Matt shared the gospel with his brother Mike. He was bold in faith to share with his brother Mike. What did you learn about how to be bold, even with family, for sharing the good news of what God has done for us with someone?
Our role as Christ-followers is to share our faith with others. What steps do you need to take to share the the good news of the gospel with someone? Maybe a friend, family member, co-worker, or is it a stranger?
What else from the podcast spoke to you?
What did God/Holy Spirit speak/prompt/say to you? What’s God asking you to do? What does He want to give you? What does He want you to lay down?
