What are things that have defined your worldview?
How can the biblical narrative of Exile in our biblical Identity help us navigate through life today as we follow Jesus?
Where do I tend to put my Identity rather than as a Jesus follower?
How do I define my worldview and do my actions represent my worldview?
"Jesus help me to fully know what it means to follow you"

Is there a particular topic that you need to continue to learn more about in order to better respond as a Jesus Follower? Is there a particular uncomfortable conversation that God has stirred up an interest in? What steps can you take to disciple others in this area? Is there an uncomfortable conversation that you still want to avoid? Why? How will you make sure you continue to align/calibrate your beliefs with your behaviors?
Part 7 - Uncomfortable Conversations with a Jesus Follower
October 27, 2021 • Skyler Rodolph • Matthew 19, 1 Corinthians 7, Genesis 1:27, Genesis 2:18–25, Leviticus 20
For Jesus Followers, balancing Grace and Truth is a constant challenge, a challenge Christians typically have missed the mark on, driving many further away from the Love of Christ. So, how do we, as Jesus followers, change this trajectory? Do I rank homosexuality above other sins? What can I do to reconcile this? Do I need to learn more about what scripture says about sexual sin? Do my behaviors (direct or indirect) show Christ's love to the LGBTQ community? Am I willing to follow Jesus into the LGBTQ community?

How can love help align and/or prioritize our political beliefs and behaviors? Why do you think scripture gives us direction on how we should respond to authority/government? Does this align or collide with your political beliefs and behaviors? Why or why not? When it comes to politics, who do you need to do a better job loving - The Lord, Your Neighbor, The Helpless, Your Enemy? Are there changes in either your beliefs or behaviors towards politics that need to be made in order to more closely follow Jesus? If so what are they?
