Loving Others - Initial discussion questions:

• Is there a time in your life when you needed help/love and others chose not to enter into your story? 
• Can you think of a time that you chose not to enter into someone else’s story when they needed help/love? 
• Why do we choose not to enter into the story of another? Especially if they are asking us to? 
• Is there a time in your life when someone was there to help/show love to you in a time when you needed it most? 
• Is there anyone you know who could really use that same help/love extended to them?

A Better Story - Initial discussion questions:

• When we know there is a need to fill – what makes it so difficult to act?  
• Have any of us acted on a nudging or a still small voice that convinced us to get out of our comfort zones and do something to help another? What was this like? Did you find that you received more than you gave? Is this what Jesus meant by having life to the full?  
• What can we do to start living better stories - stories that aren’t just about getting the Volvo?
