Religion & Spirituality
1. When you read or hear scripture, what is the default interpretive grid you usually apply to it? E.g. What is the example I am supposed to follow? What am I supposed to learn/do? How have I failed or achieved? What is the correct theological teaching? Etc. 2. Do you agree that the bible is most of all a rescue story? If not, what is it? 3. Do you recognize your need to hear the bible read and explained? What are you tempted to filter out of God’s word? 4. Can you see where you fit in in the biblical narrative? 5. Is rejoicing a typical reaction for you when engaging scripture? If not, what could change that? 6. What’s your honest response when you hear you are God’s joy? 7. Do you want rescuing? From what?
