1. What stood out to you about the idea that God’s Kingdom is available to us now and not just someday in heaven? How might that change the way you think about your life today?
2. Where in your life do you find it hardest to accept that you are powerless—and what do you tend to do when you feel that way?
Do you try harder, take control, withdraw, perform, worry, or something else?
3. What is the difference between trying to manage or change your behavior and allowing God to transform what is happening inside you?
4. Think about a time when something someone said or did triggered a reaction in you that seemed bigger than the situation itself. What do you think may have been happening beneath the surface?
5. Can you identify something you have believed about yourself, God, or others that feels true emotionally, but may not actually be true? Where do you think that belief may have come from?
6. How might your own fears, wounds, or beliefs be affecting the way you respond to your spouse? What might change if your security and identity came increasingly from God rather than from your spouse?
