It just sneaks in one small drift at a time, until you look up and realise you’ve lost the point. Josh walks through how that happened in Somalia and with the YMCA, then brings it right into real life: busy weeks, packed calendars, family routines that slowly get pulled off course. Emma anchors it in Scripture, and Ben and Janet keep it practical with simple rhythms that actually fit real life. Stay close. Stay steady.

Discussion Questions:

-How have you experienced mission creep in your own spiritual life or family, where good activities gradually replaced your core purpose of knowing and following Jesus?

-How does recognizing that there is a spiritual enemy actively working against your mission change the urgency with which you pray, read Scripture, and engage in community?

-How can you share what God is teaching you through Scripture in a way that is authentic and brief rather than lecturing, allowing others to see the Bible impacting your real life?

-How does the truth that spiritual transformation is ultimately God's work rather than yours both relieve pressure and increase your dependence on Him in discipleship relationships?
