Each of us has a story to tell from the battles we have faced in our life. This week on the podcast, Scott sits down with three guests to share from their experiences.

Chris, Edgar and Matt share their stories: fighting legalism and its ability to trip us up in our faith, stepping up as a new believer to become the spiritual leader of our home, and making a radical change of heart to quit taking grace for granted and start chasing after the things God has for us to do.

 

DISCUSSION GUIDE

What is the worst injury you’ve ever had?

Where have you served/volunteered in the church? Where have you served/volunteered outside of the church

The men discussed the impact Fight Club has made on their lives. What group or team has made the biggest impact in your life?

The lie of legalism uses this equation: Salvation = Jesus + the good things I do. Why is this so dangerous? When it comes to your faith, what do you put your pride in besides Jesus?

Read Galatians 2:19-21. Legalism distorts the truth of the gospel. Speak to the impact of that passage and how it should crush our legalism.

Men have been called to lead their wives and families. What men have you seen do this well? What does it look like to lead your family well?

In what areas of your life do you lead? Are you leading in the way Jesus did? For the married men, are you the spiritual leader of your marriage? What steps do you need to take to do this better?

Have you ever been a “spiritually bankrupt grace abuser”? How have you compartmentalized your faith and okayed sinful behavior in other areas of your life?

Have you ever been “punched in the mouth by the Holy Spirit”? How has God radically transformed your life? Are you hungry to change and chase after God? What does that look like for you?

What else from the podcast spoke to you?

What did God/Holy Spirit speak/prompt/say to you?  What’s God asking you to do?  What does He want to give you?  What does He want you to lay down?
