        6. Discussion Questions:

        1. Name some movie/tv characters who were two-faced. Like Robert the Bruce in Braveheart.  What did their back and forth way of living cause in the story?
        2. Would your closest friends say that you are a man of integrity, and mean it? Read Matthew 22:37-40. What does the “greatest command(s)” call us to with integrity? (hint: the word “all”)  Read James 1:5-8.   What does James say are the benefits of integrity, and the results of a lack of integrity?  What is an area in life where you need to grow in integrity?
        3. Have you ever considered that you might be the only “Jesus” that some people will ever see in life? Read 2 Corinthians 5:16-20.  What does Paul call us to?  Where are the places you connect with people who don’t know Jesus?  What are some of the ways you demonstrate that you follow Jesus when you are with them?  What are some ways you could share Jesus more?
        4. Read John 14:1-7 What is your favorite part of this passage?  If you died in a car accident on the way home today, what will happen?

            2. How do you typically respond to life’s problems and frustrations?   Read Lamentations 3:1-6;13-18.  How is this guy’s day/year going?  What are his emotions?  Now read 3:19-33.  What are some of the truths that help him cope with his bad day?   How might you respond differently to your bad day if you believed in these truths?
            3. Describe a time when you tried to run from the presence, the call to act a certain way, or conviction of God in your life. How did He pursue you?  How did you respond?
            4. Read Matthew 18:21-35. When someone wrongs us, what does Jesus suggest?  Why?  When is forgiving easy?  When is it not?  If we forgive, what does it do for us?  If we don’t, what pain does it cause us?

              Life Group Discussion:

              Lies Discussed:

              1. Making more money will make me happier.
              2. I’m not responsible to be the provider for my wife and family.
              3. I can’t afford to give more money away.

                4. Discussion Questions:

                1. On a scale of 1 to 10, with 1 being a sour puss, and a 10 being happy as a clam (whatever that means) how happy are you in your present financial situation? What would it take to move up a number or two?  What could cause you to go lower?
                2. Read 1 Chronicles 29:10-16. What principles does David share that are foundational to us honoring God with our finances?  What are some ways these principles can practically play out in our lives?
                3. So, you work hard all day. You receive a paycheck.  You buy things.  But it all belongs to God.  Does that make sense?  Do you agree?   IF we truly believed that everything we have is God’s, how might it change how we utilize our finances and our stuff?   
                4. Would you consider yourself being a generous man? Would others agree?  Where does this show up?  Is generosity just a financial thing? 
                5. Read Acts 20:33-35. Words of wisdom from Paul/Jesus.  Have you seen this to be true or false in your life?  How is a person more blessed when he gives rather than when he receives?  Does one have to see the results of what was given to be blessed?  What is one practical way you will live out this week what Paul/Jesus says?

                  1. How I spend my time is my business.
                  2. I’m not responsible to be the provider for my wife and family.
                  3. My faith and my work are unrelated.

                    4. Discussion Questions: 

                    1. How much “free time” do we each have during the week? Do a quick and dirty time audit/budget.  With 168 hours per week, what does an average week look like for you?  Which parts of your week do you enjoy the most?  Which parts do you not?  Which parts bring glory to God the most?  The least?
                    2. Turn to Ecclesiastes 3. Skim verses 1-8.  Then read 9-15.  What wisdom does Solomon share in regards to how we look at the time God has given us?  Does he feel God wants us to loath the hours of each day, or enjoy the hours?  What does he suggest should be foundational to how we live each hour or activity of the day IF we want to enjoy life? 
                    3. Read 1 Corinthians 10:31. What does Paul suggest as a foundation to living each hour or activity of the day?  How can the thoughts of these two wise men, change how we work?  How we live at home?  How we live out our “free time?” 
                    4. When you hear that you are to provide for your family, what comes to mind? Is providing for your family, only about money? Who is someone in your past who you saw as a good “provider?”  What did they do that made you think that?    What are a few of the ways you are “providing” for your family?  What is one way you can do better?
                    5. Read James 2:14-20. How would James feel about the lie “My faith and my work are unrelated”?   What is one way your faith in Christ will play out in your workplace this week?  Your family time?  Your free time?

                      2. My wife is supposed to make me happy.
                      3. I don’t have what it takes to be the CEO of my home. I can leave that role to my wife.

                      5. If I discipline my kids, they’ll rebel.

                        6. Discussion Questions:

                        1. From back in the days of dating, does anyone remember one of their good pick-up lines? Or does anyone remember one of the nicest things you ever said to your wife or another girl? 
                        2. If you are married, or if you were married previously, how often do/did the words “I love you” get used in that relationship? If you are married, text the words to your wife right now.  Will she be surprised?
                        3. What are/were some of your favorite parts of being married? Read John 3:16-17; If a husband/dad knows he is loved by God, and his purpose, fulfillment in life, and his joy comes from that relationship, how will that understanding make him a better husband and dad?  What is one specific way you will seek to grow in that understanding this week?
                        4. Read John 13:1-17.  How does this story of Jesus and his example teach us as husbands and dads to be better leaders of our homes?  How would you describe “servant leadership?”  What are some specific

                          Discussion Questions:

                          1. Ok, guys…be honest. Can you remember back when you first looked at something with some nudity?  How old were you?  How did it happen?  What emotions showed up?
                          2. On what level have you, or someone you know, struggled looking at porn? In what ways was it, or is it harmful?  If you presently have a habit of looking, can you think of any good reason why you should not stop looking right now?
                          3. Read Philippians 4:8 and Colossians 3:1-7 What does Paul have to say about what we look at on our TVs computers and phones?  What are some ways you men can work together to “put to death”(as Paul says) some of these struggles?
                          4. If you are presently married, are you hiding something from your wife, or have there been things in the past in which you have kept hidden from her? What harm is there in doing this?  What benefit is there in being transparent with her?  What would it look like to take that step of transparency?  If you are presently single, how important is it to your future wife for you to set up proper boundaries in regards to what you are presently looking at on your devices?
                          5. If you are a married man, do you think your wife enjoys sex with you? Do you care?  How would it go for you, if you asked her that question?  And, how would it go if you asked her what could make this part of your relationship better? Read Philippians 2:1-5  How does what Paul says here play out in our marriage sex life?  If both your wife and yourself lived out this passage within your sex life, how might it get better?

                            Lies Discussed:

                            • If I mean well, that’s good enough.
                            • I can hide my secret sin since it only hurts me.
                            • Holiness is boring.

                              • Discussion Questions:

                              1. What are some of the rules/laws in life that get “bent”? Tell of a time when you “bent” a law, but didn’t break it, from your point of view. 
                              2. Like stripes on a football field, how/when are rules in life a good idea? How/when are they NOT a good idea?  If bending certain rules/laws is ok, who gets to decide how far it can be bent?
                              3. Why are God’s rules/laws for life so important? Read Ephesians 4:17-5:2  Why does God provide us these guides for life?   How could each of these individual rules/laws in this passage bless us?  IF we ignore them, how could that hurt us?  Could it be that God loves us with these rules/laws/guides?
                              4. Read Jonah 1. How did Jonah’s sin impact others in the story?  What are some ways your sins (even secret sins) have impacted, or could impact other people?
                              5. What does the word “holiness” mean? Read 1 Peter 1:14-17.  Can you think of reasons why personal holiness matters?  Can Christians still have fun, and be holy at the same time?  Why, or why not?

                                Life Group Questions:

                                1. Confession time… Who is willing to tell about a sin they either did, or didn’t do in the past? How did this sin affect you?  Your relationships with others?  Your relationship with God?
                                2. A couple of weeks ago, you were to define “grace.” Remind each other what grace is.  Why is this an important concept to understand in your relationships and in your walk with Jesus?  Does anyone have a Scripture passage that helps them to better understand grace or God’s unconditional love?
                                3. What is something you like to compare or compete with others? (trucks, jobs, clothes, homes, sports teams) When is it fun to compare/compete? When is it not?  If we are comparing sin with others, what can it do in our faith walk?  What if we compare our sin to Jesus? 
                                4. Have you ever felt like you were separated from God’s love?   Read Romans 8:31-39.  What part of the passage is meaningful to you?  Why?  
                                5. Why is our forgiveness for our sin important? In the context of God forgiving you, why is it important to forgive others?  Possibly read Matthew 18:21-35
                                6. Again, the three lies discussed in the podcast were: Who others think I am matters more than who I really am. My sin isn’t really that bad.  God could never forgive me for what I’ve done.   As you ponder those 3 lies, how does the phrase we close worship with each week speak truth into each of those lies?  “Jesus loves you unconditionally, and he died to give you new life.”  How important is it for us to keep saying it every week?!

                                  1. If you could perfectly design your life, what would that look like? Location?  Career/job?  Family make-up?  House?  Toys?  Etc?
                                  2. If God could perfectly design your life, what would that look like?
                                  3. Read Luke 12:13-21. What are some of the lies Satan has fed this man that causes him to ask Jesus the question?  What are some of the truths that Jesus shares herein that could potentially lead us to a better life?  What are some of the habits that could help us put these truths into place?
                                  4. What do you think would literally be worth dying for? How could your answer to that question play out in how you then live?
                                  5. How would you define the word “submission”? What parts of your life are easy to submit to Jesus?  What parts are hard to submit?
                                  6. Read James 4:13-17 How does James guide us towards living life within God’s truth?  He doesn’t say goals in life are bad.  What does he say?  In what ways can you align your life, and your daily, monthly, yearly goals to be more in line with Jesus?  What is stopping you?
