WEEKEND CHITCHAT

Quick catch-up: What did y'all get into this weekend?

BIBLE READING CHALLENGE

What stood out to you from this week's reading?

Finished 2 Chronicles, started Ezra, and wrapped up John.

SUNDAY DISH

This week in Losing Myself, Jamey took us to Numbers 20, where Moses lets frustration and ego shape a moment that was meant to reveal God's grace. The reminder was both sobering and hopeful: When I insert myself, I distort Jesus. As we lose ourselves, people can see Him more clearly.

Q1: The Long Road

The Israelites spent decades in the wilderness.

What's something in your life that took much longer than expected but taught you something valuable along the way?

Q2: Formation Over Destination

Jamey, you said we often focus on destinations while God focuses on formation.

Where have you seen God shaping you in a season that felt slower or harder than you wanted?

Follow-up: How do you notice formation instead of only measuring progress?

Q3: Representing Jesus

Moses had a unique role, but in some ways every Christian represents God to others.

How do we take that responsibility seriously without acting like we speak for God?

Follow-up: Have you ever had a moment where frustration affected how you represented Jesus to someone else?

Q4: Conviction Without Contempt

John Newton warned about the danger of self-righteousness.

Why is contempt so tempting when we believe we're right, and what does it look like to hold conviction without losing compassion?

Follow-up: How can we tell the difference between courage and ego in our tone?

Q5: Distorting Jesus

The big idea was:

"When I insert myself, I distort Jesus."

Where does that land personally—in family conflict, politics, social media, church conversations, or elsewhere?

Follow-up: What's one sign that Jesus is becoming clearer and we're becoming less visible?

Q6: Three Practices

Jamey challenged us to:

• Pause before reacting
• Lead with grace
• Remember how much grace we need

Which of those feels like your next faithful step this week?

Follow-up: What would change if we started with confession before criticism?
