<ol> <li>Pastor Shawn talked about being conservative with his money, time, and energy. How do you distinguish between being a good steward and simply "holding back" from God?</li> <li>Mary’s worship was "counter-cultural" and "societal rebuffing." When was the last time your devotion to Jesus felt "risky" or "undignified" to the world around you? What stops us from being that "fanatic" for Him today?</li> <li>Pastor Shawn identified three ways we can be like Judas: being <strong>Critical</strong> (judging others' devotion), <strong>Selfish</strong> (chasing the American Dream over presence), and <strong>Fake</strong> (hiding behind "Christianese" or a holy mask). Which of these three "Judas tendencies" do you find most tempting in your own life? Why is it often easier to critique someone else’s "expensive" worship than to examine our own heart’s greed or pride?</li> <li>Jesus said, <em>"Whoever will save his life will lose it, but whoever will lose his life for my sake will find it."</em> What is the "treasure" currently sitting in your hands that feels the scariest to drop into the basket at the foot of the cross? What do you hope to "find" once you finally let it go?</li> </ol>

<ol> <li>Where do you feel God inviting you to “start over” right now? Is it in your marriage, a friendship, your attitude, or your relationship with Him? What makes that area hard to address?</li> <li>What is the difference between shame and repentance? Have you ever confused the two? What would true repentance look like in a real-life situation?</li> <li>Is there someone you are still “making pay” in your heart? What would it practically look like to release that debt to God? What fears come up when you think about forgiving?</li> <li>How does knowing that God speaks tenderly change the way you see Him? If you believed He wasn’t angry but inviting you back, what step would you take this week?</li> </ol>

<ol> <li>When have you told yourself a story about someone’s actions without asking them for clarity? What happened because of that assumption?</li> <li>In a recent conflict, did you start with curiosity or defense? What might have changed if you had asked more questions first?</li> <li>Is there a relationship in your life right now where disappointment has quietly created distance? What would it look like to “turn around” and re-enter that conversation?</li> <li>Where might God be using His Word to gently correct your perspective right now? Is there an area where clarity requires repentance rather than explanation?</li> </ol>

<ol> <li>Can you think of a time when you confused feeling love with choosing love? What changed your perspective?</li> <li>What is the difference between liking someone and loving someone? How does that difference show up in real life?</li> <li>Where in your life right now is love requiring endurance instead of emotion?</li> <li>What would it look like this week to choose covenant over comfort in one specific relationship?</li> </ol>

<ol> <li>Where do you feel like closeness has cooled in your life — with God, with a person, or both? What makes you say that?</li> <li>What is one small sign that drift might be happening in a relationship (for example: less talking, less praying, more distance)?</li> <li>Jesus says to remember, repent, and return. Which of those feels hardest for you right now? Why?</li> <li>What is one small step you could take this week to move closer to Jesus and invite Him to restore love in your life?</li> </ol>

<ol> <li>When you hear the phrase “living on purpose,” what stands out to you from the message? Why did that part connect with you?</li> <li>The message said that transformation doesn’t end with us—it moves through us. What’s one way you’ve seen God change you over time?</li> <li>Why do you think it’s sometimes easier to attend church than to fully participate in the life of the Church?</li> <li>What is one next step you feel God inviting you to take—either serving locally or supporting missions—and what might be holding you back?</li> </ol>

<ol> <li>What is one “stop” or pause in your life right now that feels hard or unexpected?</li> <li>How does knowing that God directs both our steps and our stops change the way you see that situation?</li> <li>In Psalm 37:23–24, what stands out to you most about how God relates to His people?</li> <li>What might it look like for you to trust God in this season instead of rushing past it?</li> </ol>

<ol> <li>Which part of the message connected with you the most: Saved but not Powered, Called but not Equipped, or Filled Changes Everything? Why?</li> <li>Where do you feel like you’ve been trying to live your faith in your own strength instead of relying on the Holy Spirit?</li> <li>Can you think of a moment when fear or hesitation kept you from stepping into something God was calling you to do?</li> <li>What would it look like for you this week to ask the Holy Spirit to fill you and guide you in everyday situations?</li> </ol>

<ol> <li>What does it mean to live “set apart” for God in everyday life?</li> <li>Why is it easy to slowly slip back into old habits, even when we love God?</li> <li>Acts 2 shows believers praying, learning God’s Word, gathering, and giving. Which of these is hardest for you right now?</li> <li>What is one small step of obedience God may be asking you to take this week?</li> </ol>

<ol> <li>What stood out to you most from the message today, and why did it connect with you?</li> <li>Is there something from your past, good or bad, that still shapes how you see yourself or how you follow God?</li> <li>During this fast, what is one habit or distraction you’re choosing to set aside so you can focus more on God?</li> <li>Who is one person you could invite to church or share hope with this week, and how can you pray for them?</li> </ol>
