In this week's episode we wrap up our discussion on race: responding instead of reacting, and how as Christ-followers, the ball is in our court.
1) What is your understanding of “intersectionality”? How does looking through the lens of intersectionality affect interactions with people? How has it affected conversations in your experience, recently or in the past?
2) Why do you believe so many churches are recently prioritizing diversity as their main mission? What do you think the mission of the church should be? What does the Bible have to say about that mission?
3) Ariea said, “It would do your church no good to be diverse with all different types of ethnicity and no one saved.” Is there anything in your life that you are striving for in place of bringing people to Jesus?
4) Rod stated, “Fear stands for: False Evidence Appearing Real.” What is appearing real to you that is causing you to be afraid? What’s true and what’s false in the way you’re processing this situation/threat in your world? Identify the “false evidence” and take a moment to intentionally choose to reject the lies. Share your commitment with your group or a trusted friend.
5) Is there anyone in your life who has permission to challenge you even if the challenge is offensive?
6) Who can you ask to mentor you? Is there someone you can speak life into?
