Discussion Questions

How does focusing on the heart rather than just behavior change the way we parent or mentor others?
In what ways can parents model wisdom in everyday life for their children?
How can we balance discipline and love in a way that shapes children’s hearts without creating fear or resentment?
How does the hope of God as a personal Father impact the way we respond when our kids make mistakes or walk away from faith?
How can the family of God work together to raise up disciples among the younger generation?

Prayer Points

Pray for wisdom to guide children’s hearts, not just their actions, and for discernment in teaching and correcting them.
Pray for patience, consistency, and a loving heart when modeling God’s ways in your home or community.
Pray for trust in God’s Fatherly love—both for your children and for yourself as an imperfect parent.

Reach One

As we continue to grow as Thoughtful Witnesses, we’re inviting everyone to “reach one” person that’s far from God by praying for them by name daily and engaging them in some way monthly (see the page below for ideas). To help encourage one another in this season, we’re asking each Community Group to discuss the following questions at least monthly.

How can we pray for your “one”? How are you hoping to engage your “one” this month?
