Tell Me More Takes Over Locker Room

This week on the podcast, we're joined by Jessica McKenney, Sarah Hopkins and Lydia Florence—the three hosts of our women's podcast, Tell Me More—to talk about the Ethos of Godly Men from their perspective.

We'll discuss the influence of men and fathers in women's lives, and the picture of a man's identity in Jesus. We'll also take a look at some of the patterns they are seeing in men in today's culture and provide encouragement to men who are in the fight, following Jesus on mission.

 

DISCUSSION GUIDE

What women have made the biggest impact in your life? How have they shaped who you are today?

The Tell Me More crew mentioned they have time for Hot Takes in their podcast. What's a hot take you have (an opinion that may not be popular)?

We have a man problem in our world. The brokenness in our world primarily comes from an absent man or a broken man. How have you seen this be true in your life? Where have you contributed to this brokenness?

The women talked about their relationship with their fathers. What was your relationship with your Dad growing up? How has that affected who you've become?

Often women have to carry the spiritual weight of families and churches. Why do you think men tend towards passivity when it comes to faith? What is a practical step of leadership you can take to engage in your faith, your family, the church, etc?

Have you been sold a bad picture of Jesus? A Jesus who is too weak, small, irrelevant, etc. Who is Jesus to you?

Jesus elevated women in a culture that treated them terribly. Do you value and live women the same way Jesus did? How does that show in your actions? What needs to change about how you treat and speak to/about women?

Read Mark 1:9-11. God the Father affirms Jesus as his Beloved Son and Jesus lived out of that identity. Where do you find your identity? Did you know that if you follow Jesus God calls you His beloved son, too? What practical steps can you take towards living out of that identity, God's beloved son?

Jesus was emotionally healthy. Meaning he laughed, cried, got angered, etc. All in healthy ways though. Are you more naturally unemotional or overly emotional? How can you grow in your emotional health?

What else from the podcast spoke to you?

What did God/Holy Spirit speak/prompt/say to you?  What's God asking you to do?  What does He want to give you?  What does He want you to lay down?
