DISCUSSION QUESTIONS

1.Emilie just wants to make a difference, but it seems her ability to do important things is slipping through her fingers. Have you had a similar desire? How did you make it come to life?

2.Reid has let the pressure to create a career replace family relationships. It’s so easy to do. The urgent presses out the relationships we need and desire. Are you able to balance career and family? Service and family? How do you strike a balance? Is it even possible?

3.Emilie longs to be seen for who she is without external labels defining her. Is it possible to look past the labels to see people for who they really are? How can we do that?

4.Kinley is a little girl in need of a protector. She is truly helpless. How can you step to a place of helping those in need? How can you live Micah 6:8 (NIV)?

 

      He has shown you, O mortal, what is good.

           And what does the LORD require of you?

      To act justly and to love mercy

           and to walk humbly with your God.

 

5.Reid engages in a contest at work. He creates a team around him while a colleague tackles the challenge alone. How do you prefer to work? Alone or in a group? Why?

6.Reid wonders if it’s time to build a family in his life. Then Kinley needs him. He’s suddenly placed in a role of having a ten-year-old who needs him to protect her. What advice would you give him as he navigates that change?

7.Have you known anyone trapped in a relationship like Kaylene’s? What happened?

8.What would you tell someone trapped in a dysfunctional relationship? What about someone in a domestic violence situation? How would you encourage them?
