Discussion Guide  -  Week 5

Relationships

1.  Are you an introvert or an extrovert?  How has this affected your sense of connection with others?
2.  Do you consider yourself to be self-sufficient and independent?  What are the pros and cons of this mentality?
3.  Do you prioritize spending time with friends?  What circumstances in your life can make this challenging?
*Friends can serve different purposes.  We can have "fun" friends, "support" friends, or deep "soul" friends.
4.  What kind of friends do you need most right now?  How might you be able to make those connections?
5.  What intentional rhythms can you put into your life to deepen these type of relationships?
6.  Who do you need to invest in and enjoy more time with?

Wrapping Up...

Sometime this week, read Chapter 9 about RELATIONSHIPS from Mitch Harrison's book, "Running On Full."
Pray as a group, or silently, that God would open doors for you to start connecting with the right people in your life, both for your benefit and theirs as well.

Small Groups Are Important!

New Hope Community Church encourages everyone to participate regularly in a small group. The importance is for you to have accountability to others, as well as a place where you feel you belong and are cared for. Getting to this place requires groups to spend frequent and consistent time together, getting to know one another as you walk together through life. As for any book study like this one, what is important is that you engage in conversation. Where God leads the discussion is up to him, so do not feel pressure to have every person answer every question, nor to feel rushed to get through all the questions. Allow this to simply start/guide the discussion, and then let it progress from there. Sunday messages were connected to each chapter from the Disobedient God book, and reading along each week could enhance the experience, but these questions can still be used even without reading the book or even hearing the message. Thanks for taking this step.
