Brokenness and Vulnerability
Group Discussion Guide
Each Sunday we come together we offer an open invitation into the way of Jesus. An invitation to enter into sacred rhythms - to draw near to God through singing, giving, learning, and praying.
As a community who desires renewal in Des Moines as it is in Heaven, we recognize that we cannot offer what we ourselves do not have. We cannot lead where we ourselves have not been led; in turn, these questions aim at reflection. Reflecting on God’s word and making space for his leadership.
After watching or listening consider the following discussion questions as a large group or in groups of three to four:
What stood out to you in this week’s teaching?
Over the years, what did you learn or absorb about brokenness and vulnerability from family, social settings, etc.?
To be vulnerable is to be open or exposed, to be capable of being wounded. It requires accepting the fact that we’re not as put together or mature as we’d like to think we are. What is it about the vulnerability you just identified that leaves you feeling open, exposed, or not put together?
How can we debunk the vulnerability myths (i.e. our oppositions)
Vulnerability is for the weak. Vulnerability is not for me; or I don’t do vulnerability. No trust, no vulnerability.
Discuss the connection between love, brokenness, and vulnerability.
