As believers we are united in Christ—and there will still be issues about which we disagree. As Bobby Jamieson reminded us in this week's episode, "Those disagreements can always threaten to become divisions." But there is hope! We can learn how to understand our conscience, listen to God's leading, and engage those we disagree with by showing kindness and respect and remembering the unity we share in Christ. We pray the practical and Scripture-based encouragement this episode offers will help you think through how to both understand and live in line with your conscience.

DISCUSSION QUESTIONS

What are some differing matters of conscience that you have encountered either personally, in relationships with others, or with those in your church?
Are there friends or influencers who you have been tempted to “outsource your conscience” to, meaning you adopt their practices without gauging your own conscience?
Bobby mentioned several passages (listed in our show notes) that would be helpful to better understand conscience. Perhaps select one today to read through or study with a friend.
Is there a trusted pastor, friend, or mentor with whom you could have a conversation about your own personal questions about issues of conscience? Perhaps reach out to them today.
What might you do or implement based on what you learned in this week’s episode?
