Sent Into My Family | Sent | Week 5

God has not only called us to be sent into our workplaces and communities, but also into one of the most challenging mission fields we have: our families. Sharing our faith with those closest to us can be difficult because our family members know our past, our failures, and our weaknesses. Yet God often chooses to use the very places where we have experienced brokenness as places where He brings redemption.

Discussion Questions: 

1. The message opened with two questions: a word someone spoke that built you up and that you still carry, and a word that stung and is honestly still in there. Which one came to mind faster for you—and why do you think that is?
2. We looked at two sons: Esau, who showed up and the blessing simply wasn't there, and Jesus, who received the Father's blessing before He had done anything to earn it. Be honest—which story are you living out of more right now: Esau's (earning, proving, performing) or Jesus' (already chosen, already loved)?
3. Pastor Chad said most father wounds are word wounds. What's a word you've spent years trying to outrun or prove wrong—or a word you've been quietly waiting most of your life to hear?
4. We were given the ABC Test (Affirming, Biblical, Christlike) and a charge: go home and say the thing. Who is the one person the Holy Spirit is highlighting for you—and what is the specific sentence you've been holding back that you're willing to speak this week?
