This week, we explore the Great Commission and the mystery of Trinity Sunday. Peter Walsh, Elizabeth Garnsey, and John Kennedy discuss the Trinity not simply as doctrine, but as a lived experience of self-giving love. Along the way, they wrestle with power, mercy, division, spiritual formation, and what it means to live as a community shaped by the presence of Christ.

Questions for Further Discussion

Themes and Application

1. What does it mean that Jesus commissions imperfect, grieving, and uncertain disciples instead of waiting for flawless faith?
2. How do you respond to the idea that the Trinity is better experienced than explained? 
3. What does “making disciples” look like in today’s world beyond simply growing church attendance?

Personal Reflection

1. Have you ever experienced doubt and faith existing side-by-side?
2. Do you tend to think of God more through fear, obligation, mystery, love, or relationship?
3. What part of the Trinity feels most accessible to you right now: Creator, Christ, or Spirit?

Broader Spiritual Considerations

1. Why has the Trinity remained one of Christianity’s deepest mysteries for centuries?
2. How does the Great Commission invite Christians into global responsibility rather than tribal identity?
3. What might it mean to understand salvation not merely as belief, but participation in the “life of love” described through the Trinity?
