What Are You Carrying? | The Journey to Freedom | Week 1

Whether we realize it or not, we all carry baggage—things we were never meant to hold onto. But Jesus invites us to come to Him and exchange our worldly burdens for His yoke of humility and rest. 

This week, we’ll identify the unique burdens we carry and explore how Jesus offers us an invitation to lay them down and receive His peace.

Discussion Questions:
1. What burdens are you currently carrying that may hinder your race of faith, and how can you give them to Jesus?
2. What past hurts or mindsets might you be holding onto that weigh you down, and what steps can you take to lay them aside?
3. Saul hid among the baggage when called to be king. Are there areas in your life where fear or unworthiness is keeping you from stepping into God’s calling?
4. How can surrounding yourself with faith-filled friends help you endure your race, and who in your life plays that role for you?
5. How does fixing your eyes on Jesus change the way you approach challenges, setbacks, and daily responsibilities in your faith journey?
