How To Fight Well | The Adventurous Life Week 3

This week is all about the good fight, but we’ve probably all been in some fights that were over something that felt serious at the time, but we look back on now and laugh. What’s the most ridiculous fight you’ve been in?

Read Romans 12:21 and then 1 Corinthians 9:25. To fight evil with good we have to train diligently. What are the things you can be training for, and what would it look like to start training now?

Read Romans 5:3-4. We all have wounds and scars, and likely we don’t like talking about them. But we see here that they can be used for good. What’s the one wound or scar that keeps coming up over and over again in your life? How might that be used for good?

Ernest Hemingway said, “The world is a fine place and worth fighting for...” Take a moment to consider what fight God might be asking you to enter into. How can you get started — preparation and training, healing an open wound, or taking a step into the fight? Share both the fight you’re leaning into, and your next step with the group.

Read 1 Timothy 6:12. Take turns praying a simple prayer over each person’s fight and next step. Pray this, or use your own words: “God, thank you for inviting us to engage in the good fight with you. Bless (name) as they step into the ring with you. Train them, heal them, and help them to see a win on the other side. Amen.”
