- What’s your biggest pet peeve?

- Where have you experienced pushback from the people around you recently?

- Where do you see yourself pushing back against the visions of others? How does your pushback impact your relationship with them?
- Read Nehemiah 4:19-20. Where have you seen your friends and/or family show up, even in the midst of hardship or opposition? Where have you seen God in those moments?
- What’s one step you can take to push through opposition this week?
Prayer
Let’s end with prayer. You can say something like, “God, thank you for the gift of other people. Thank you for not making us live this life alone. Give us the same humility and love you have, so we can share it with the people around us. Amen.”

When you attempt something new or difficult, pushback will come. Internally, externally, and from the team. You have to be prepared to PUSH against it.
