Jeff shared something a mentor once said to him: “God has allowed you to go through this because He wants to give you so much more. You don’t want to be who you were before. He wants to use this to make a whole new you.” Is there something from this season that is changing you for the better and that has been life-giving to you? What do you hope to take with you from this time?

While Jesus invited the disciples to live bigger, their journey with Him was rarely comfortable and often challenging. Why do you think living an easy life is often at odds with living an elevated, purposeful life? Why is it hard to have both comfort and purpose?
-
Read Ephesians 3:20-21. Do you think you imagine too small or ask too little of God? What keeps you from dreaming bigger with Him?
-
Get bold! Think of something big or audacious that you want to see happen. Is there a reason it is hard for you to make this request to God?
-
Is something holding you back from experiencing more in this life or in your relationship with God? Are there any “cheap substitutes” that keep you from focusing on what matters most?
NEXT STEPS
Journeying with Jesus is always a series of next steps. We’re all at different places and have our own unique obstacles that keep us from experiencing all God has for us. So, as you think of Jesus’ offer to find life to the fullest in Him, what does your next step look like? Is it something you need to do? Is it something you need to stop? Is it a conversation you need to have or a prayer you need to pray?
