For leaders: pick 3–4 of these based on where your table naturally goes. You don't need to cover all seven.
- For those comfortable sharing: what is one lens you have had to unlearn in your own walk with God?
- What is one message people often absorb from their family, upbringing, or life experience that can distort how they see God?
- What are some ways people can confuse God's heart with the personality, absence, anger, silence, or expectations of someone who shaped them?
- Before Jesus did any public ministry, the Father called Him beloved. Why is it so hard for us to receive belovedness before we perform?
- Which false message do you think people struggle with most: "I have to earn love," "I am on my own," "I am too much," "I am not enough," or "God is disappointed in me"?
- What helps you recognize when you are seeing God through an old wound instead of through the truth of Scripture?
- What would change in someone's life if they truly believed the Father was not distant, disappointed, or impossible to please?
