“I call heaven and earth to witness against you today, that I have set before you life and death, the blessing and the curse. So choose life in order that you may live, you and your descendants, by loving the Lord your God, by obeying His voice, and by holding fast to Him; for this is your life and the length of your days, that you may live in the land which the Lord swore to your fathers, to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, to give them.” (Deuteronomy 30: 19-20, NASB)

Discussion Questions for WTWIYM Week 1:

• What’s your favorite karate movie? (Or, if karate isn’t your thing, what’s your favorite sports movie?)
• What was your first thought after hearing this week’s episode?
• Read Hebrews 4:12. Would you say you treat Scripture like it’s living and active or just like words on a page? What makes you say that?
• Do you ever find yourself acting irrationally based on a lie you believe about yourself? If so, how?
• Pastor Craig shared about a lie he believed that was rooted in a childhood memory. What is a lie you believe or an unhelpful mindset you have based on past experience? What can you do to confront and correct the lie?
• The lies we believe about ourselves are often rooted in childhood experiences. Have you experienced this in your own life? How has it affected you?
• Have you meditated on God’s truth before? What was that experience like?
• What is the dominant stronghold in your life?
• What are some truths from God’s Word that you can write, meditate on, and confess to combat it?
• What truth demolishes that stronghold? How can you replace that negative statement with truth from Scripture?

  • Or do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived; neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor homosexuals, nor thieves, nor the covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor swindlers, will inherit the kingdom of God. (1 Corinthians 6:9-10, NASB)
