Looking Above episode 15

We weren't meant to do life alone.  We need to cultivate friendships in the good days and the mundane days so we have friends to lean on when life assaults us. In this episode, Karen discusses our need for what she calls Valley Girls, friends who will walk with you through the hard days. 

Questions for discussion: 

  1. Why are you tempted to travel the valley alone? Think of the lies the world tells us.  Which one resonates with you?
  2. Tell a story of someone who pursued you in a valley.
  3. Tell a story of a time you practiced presence and walked through a valley with a friend.
  4. Have you walked through a valley that you sense God wants to use - so that you can encourage others in a similar valley?
  5. Proclaim hope to each other right now.  How have you seen God at work recently? Have you had answered prayers? Has He been teaching you something?
  6. Are you in a valley right now?  Are you tempted to sit down in that valley?  How can this group push you and encourage you to keep walking?
  7. If someone shared about a valley in the previous question, spend time right now pointing her to Jesus.

    Go to battle for each other. Exchange names and each of you pray for another in the group this week. 

    The Takeaway: We weren't created to be in the valley alone, cultivate friendships that will sustain you in the valley.

    To-Do This Week:  Be someone's Valley Girl this week. Pick one of the eight roles of a Valley Girl and make an effort to do that for a friend before your group meets again.
