Compassion


Listen Later

Like what you're hearing? Keep the conversation going. Find a few people to talk with about the things you've been learning. Here are a few questions that you can use to kickstart some conversation.

• What’s the most awkward overshare you’ve seen on social media? Take a few minutes to laugh about it!


• It’s time #TBH (to be honest). Everyone think of something you feel bad about not feeling bad about. Then, take turns finishing the sentence, “I couldn’t care less about _____.”

• In your own life or in the lives of others, how have you noticed that people don’t care as much?

• If someone followed you around, what evidence might they see that you’re obsessed with yourself? (Bonus for admitting you’d love it if someone watched your every move.)

• Share an example of something you would say you care about that you don’t do anything about. Try to identify what’s keeping you from turning those feelings into action.

• How has serving and caring for others impacted your life?

• Share a time when you showed compassion and it ended up changing you more than the person you were caring for.

• In real life, compassion interrupts our lives and has high costs. How can getting closer to Christ help you overcome those obstacles?

• Pastor Gregg said, “The closer I get to Jesus, the less I care about me, and the more I care about people.” How have you found this to be true for you?

End with a challenge to take action.

• What can we do to put action to our compassion this week? How can our group love people better?


• Who is someone you love who could really use some actual care this week? What will you do to reach out to them?

• How and where is God calling you to care? What action will you take this week?
