My fitness journey taught me a lesson I didn’t see coming… and James says it’s the same trap that keeps Christians stuck.
Discussion and Reflection Questions:
ASK:
- Where in your life are you “checking the scale” (hearing God’s Word) but ignoring what it’s telling you?
- What makes it easier to forget what God says than to change how you live?
DISCUSS: Read James 1:22-25
- Why does James call God’s law ‘perfect’ and ‘freeing’?
- What’s your intuitive, unfiltered feeling about God’s word?
- What’s one command from the Scriptures that feels more like a burden than a gift?
- What are some ways you’ve experienced the Bible as a pathway to freedom?
DO:
Pick one specific teaching from the book of James that seems life-giving to you. What’s the smallest, lowest risk way you could try to put it into practice? Share your plan with a friend, and make a plan to check in on each other.
