DISCUSSION AND REFLECTION QUESTIONS
1. In your past, how did pride or ego cause you to hurt people you love or make destructive choices? 2. Why is it so hard to accept that our own efforts aren't enough? Why is it difficult to say "I was wrong" or "I need help"? 3. Who is one person in your life (a child, a parent, a brother in this room) who needs your tender words right now? 4. What does "doing justice" look like for you in a practical way as you prepare to reenter society? 5. Where do you need to show mercy on your reentry journey? Who do you need to forgive?
APPLICATION: TAKING IT WITH YOU
This Week's Focus: Practice Tender Action What is one relationship that has been most damaged by your pride or harshness? What is one humble, tender action you can take this week to begin rebuilding that bridge (e.g., writing a letter, making a phone call, offering a specific apology in prayer)? Closing Prayer "Lord, break our pride. Rip out our hearts of stone and give us hearts of flesh. Make us tender. Help us to be men who do justice, love mercy, and walk humbly with you, so we can be the fathers, sons, and leaders you call us to be. Amen."
