- Which of Paul’s three metaphors for resilience, the soldier, farmer, or athlete, did you identify with the most? What about that particular picture spoke to you?
- Think about a situation that you’ve felt (or are currently feeling) like giving up. What about that circumstance makes it difficult to tap into God’s power and stand back up?
- What’s one part of your walk with God that could benefit from some disciplined training? Think about what that training could look like and share your ideas with the group.
Prayer
Let’s end with prayer. You can say something like, “Jesus, thank you for being resilient for us. Help us have that same resilience. Give us the vision to set our eyes on you, regardless of our circumstances. Amen.”
