We Endure

What is something impactful you’ve endured, or are still enduring?

What stood out to you most from the message?

Do you see the value of endurance? Why or why not?

Where have you seen the difference between hardness and toughness in your life?

What’s something unique to you or your life experience that makes taking the hits life throws at you challenging to absorb?

Out of the four qualities of being tough (Being real, Being rooted, Being a risk-taker, Being after a specific reward), which do you see the most of in yourself? Which do you see the least of? Why?

Read James 1:2-4. Name an area of your life where you see a need for endurance. What would it mean for you to embrace that challenge?

Let’s end with prayer. You can say something like, “Jesus, thank you for showing us what real endurance looks like. Give us the courage to choose toughness over comfort. To reject the false safety of comfort. Help us rely on your strength for our protection. We’re fixing our eyes on you. Amen.”
