8. In what ways is God calling you to be his ambassador in your natural circles of influence each day? Where is he specifically calling you to care and where is he calling you to act?
CONVERSATION PROMPTS FOR YOUNG MEN 1. What’s the first thing that comes to mind when you hear that someone is tender or tender hearted? Do you consider that characteristic to be a positive or negative thing? Why? 2. Without looking it up, what’s your definition of humility? From either fictional sources or in real life, who are some examples that you’ve seen of men who are humble? What is appealing about a man who is humble? 3. How have you seen pride in my life and can you give me some specific examples of when you’ve spotted it in me? How would you say you’ve personally wrestled with pride? Would you be open to me pointing out a few areas that I’ve seen pride in your life too? 4. Why do you think God calls his children to be people who pursue justice, kindness, and humility (Micah 6:8)? Why do you think those three character qualities are so important to God? 5. What does it mean to be an ambassador? How are we called to be ambassadors of God? How then does that shape the way we live our lives each day? How can you care and act in ways that make you an ambassador for God (at school, home, with friends, in church, etc.)? FOR PERSONAL APPLICATION These aspects of the study can be used in between group sessions on your own, either with your spouse or individually as part of your devotional and confessional life. Do Something During the week ahead, turn your learning into doing. 1. Take some time to pray and think through the areas of your life that are tainted with pride and some specific scenarios or relationships that spark pride in your heart. Then ask the Lord to chip away at that pride and eliminate it from your life. Be sure to share with someone else (an accountability partner, friend, or family member, etc.) the areas that the Lord brings to mind that you need to work on, and ask them to keep you accountable for proactively going after those areas. Pray that God would grow you, mold you, and shape you into a more humble person over time.
