👉 START HERE (Choose 1–2 questions)
These questions are designed to get everyone talking quickly. You do not need to answer all of them. Pick one that feels most alive at your table and start there.
- When you hear the phrase “a faith that shows up,” what does that stir in you — encouragement, pressure, curiosity, resistance?
- Which image from tonight — salt, light, or nourishment — stuck with you most, and why do you think it connected?
- Where do you feel the tension between wanting your faith to matter and not wanting to perform or be noticed?
- What felt most honest or freeing about the way Jesus describes faith in this passage?
🔎 GO DEEPER (Choose 1–2 if time allows)
These questions are for tables that want to explore the ideas more fully. Feel free to skip or jump around.
- The teaching suggested that identity comes before influence. Where do you feel tempted to reverse that order in your own life?
- Where is it hardest for you to show up with calm, steady presence — work, home, relationships, or under pressure?
- What do you think it looks like to be visible without being performative in your everyday life?
- When you reflect on your presence lately, do you think it brings more calm or more tension into the spaces you’re in?
- What fears surface when you imagine living out your faith more openly — even in quiet, practical ways?
🚶 NEXT STEP (Choose 1 before you end)
These questions help move the conversation toward action, not perfection.
- Where do you sense Jesus inviting you to show up truer this week — not louder, just more present?
- What is one small, concrete way you could practice being salt or light in the next few days?
- Would anyone like prayer around a specific situation where they want their presence to bring life?
Important Note:
You don’t need to cover every section. Aim for connection, not completion. If one question opens meaningful conversation, stay there. Let honesty set the pace.
