Discussion Questions:

How does hearing “you existed in the mind of God before the world was created, before you were conceived and even born” affect you?
What implications does it have for you?
Where, or in what do you find yourself placing your self-worth?
What is your usual initial response when you hear God’s call? (Ex. Jeremiah 1:4-6; Exodus 3:11-14, 4:10-13)
What difference does it make for you to know that God is with you as you respond to His Call for you & your life?
Remember that our calling isn’t about a specific job, position, title, or status. It’s the totality of the contribution you are being asked to make by your Creator.
What is God’s Call for you? What are you made for?

Discussion Questions:

“Exile is a place where we don’t want to be.” Name all the things that cause you to feel like you’re in exile today.
In what ways do you “look over your shoulder” (behind you) to what was familiar, and look far in the future to a deliverance from your current situation?
How does the way you currently move about in life indicate that you are not living in the present of the now?
- Example: What occupies your thoughts? What do you daydream about? What’s the miracle you want? When does “real life” start for you?
What are the opportunities God is opening for you to flourish now? In your present, how is God calling you to plant, invest, build, and pray for others?
