Discipleship Guide & Reflection Questions

Week 6

This week we are learning about climbing the ladder of integrity. This tool helps us understand our own responses to different challenges we encounter in everyday life. Though we may not always be aware of it, our values and desires shape much of how we react to others. When these values or desires are unmet, we can disproportionately respond to the actions of others. We want to be people who respond to others with honesty and love. As we follow Jesus, part of our discipleship is understanding why we respond the way that we do, and asking God to help us as we pursue life in community. This week, slow down to consider how God is calling you to live and respond to others in a way that is honest and loving.
