Why do you think that authors/speakers such as Brené Brown are gaining so much popularity? What is it about the message of shame that people need to hear? How is Jesus our ultimate hope for dealing with shame?
What does it mean for you to remain focused on your unique calling? Why is competitive comparison so dangerous?
How can we more deeply understand and appreciate the gospel so that we can love Jesus more? Why is “just try harder to love Jesus more” such bad advice?

Pray that we would follow Jesus and fulfill the unique part of the mission that he has given to each of us individually.
