Lesson
Discussion: 1.) Much of the lecture's discussion focused on the transition from active to passive faith. What are some ways that a Curious person will be active in pursuing Christ? How can you encourage them in this pursuit? 2.) Why is it important to remain patient and to not overpursue their faith journey? What might happen if we give them too much too soon? 3.) When we give them homework and “release” their energy to pursue the things of Christ, we then follow up and debrief what they’ve done. What are some good debriefing questions to ask them? How can we track their progress through these activities? 4.) Activity - Role Play Divide up into pairs. Read over this situation together and role-play how you would handle it. Give each pair at least five minutes to practice. Then, switch roles so that each person gets a chance. Situation: Your Curious friend is dealing with a difficult personal situation. She/He is asking you for advice on how to handle it, and you use this opportunity to share your testimony by explaining the way in which Jesus helped you through a similar situation. Follow-up: What worked in this role-play scenario? What are some things your partner did well? What did you notice within yourself as you acted in this scenario? 5.) Pray: Tell about a time when you’ve seen someone become more active in their growing faith. Pray for people you know who need to make this kind of change.
