DISCUSSION AND REFLECTION QUESTIONS
1. How does the world define a "strong" man? How has chasing that definition led to trouble in your life? 2. What are your biggest "horizontal fears" about getting out and starting over? 3. How can developing a "vertical fear"—a deep awe of God's power—give you real courage to face those reentry fears? 4. What truths about God do you need to hold on to so you can face the "Goliaths" in your future (like addiction, a criminal record, or broken relationships)? 5. Which of the five qualities of a fearless man (gracious, merciful, righteous, generous, just) is the biggest challenge for you to develop right now?
APPLICATION: TAKING IT WITH YOU
This Week's Focus: Identify Your Goliath What is your single biggest fear about getting out? Write it down. Now, find one promise in the Bible that speaks directly to that fear and write it next to it. Carry that promise with you this week. Closing Prayer "Lord, forgive us for seeking worldly strength that is just a cover for fear. We ask you to give us a deep and life-shaping awe of You. Make our hearts firm so we can face our future without wobbling. Help us to be men who are gracious, merciful, and just, because we trust in your power. Amen."
