THINK, DISCUSS, LIVE: These questions are great for personal reflection, group discussion, or both. They’re meant to help you grow in your faith, deepen your connection with your Jesus friends, and live it out in the world around you.
Who would you rather share exciting personal news with—a close friend or someone you just met? Why? What does your answer reveal about trust, relationship, and connection in your life?
Where in your life do you need a specific touch from God right now? Is it an answered prayer, the restoration of a friendship, physical or emotional healing, or a new opportunity? What would surrendering that area to Him look like?
“Our faith is personal, but it isn’t private.” How does this statement show up in your daily life? In what ways is your faith visible to others?
If someone asked what it truly means to follow Jesus, how would you explain it? What three main truths or commitments would you emphasize?
In Gospel of Matthew 4:19–20, Jesus calls His disciples to leave their nets and follow Him.What “nets” might Jesus be asking you to leave behind right now?
(Comfort, habits, fears, relationships, control, success?)
In Gospel of Matthew 9:9, Jesus calls Matthew, a tax collector. Why do you think Jesus chose someone like Matthew? Why do you think He chose someone like you?
In Gospel of Matthew 9:12, Jesus says He came for the “sick.” Who are the “sick” He’s referring to? What was your life like before you began following Jesus?
How intentionally do you spend time with people who don’t know Jesus? What motivates or prevents you from building those relationships?
Who are the people you naturally “rub shoulders with” who don’t know Jesus? (Coworkers, neighbors, baristas, classmates, servers, family members?)
When was the last time you shared your story of following Jesus? What new chapter of your story might God be inviting you to share now?
PRAYER OPTIONS: Practice praying out loud to grow and stretch your faith. Extra Credit: Try praying out loud with the people who love you and feel safe.

1 & 1: One thing to celebrate, one thing to bring to God.
