Discuss Together
- Can you think of a time when you didn’t heed a warning sign that you should have (for example, one that said “don’t pet the ____” or “no swimming,” or the low gas light on your dashboard)? Share with the group.
- Read Proverbs 27:12. We can often see warning signs and red flags when it comes to other people’s lives but have trouble seeing them in our own. Why do you think that’s the case?
- Read Proverbs 14:12. Ryan said, “The enemy of wisdom isn’t stupidity; it’s rationalization.” Can you think of a time when you rationalized a bad decision? What have you learned about avoiding rationalization?
- Think about an area where you feel like you have a lot of positive momentum. Share about it with the group. Is it financially, physically, relationally, spiritually, or something else? Looking back, what led to that momentum? How did you get moving in the right direction?
- Think about an area where you’d like to have positive momentum but don’t. What would it look like to start with one decision or step?
