Week 3 Discussion Guide
Building the Inner Life
"Above all else, guard your heart."
Weekly focus
Week 3 focuses on the inner life. Participants examine the heart, motives, character, wisdom, integrity, gratitude, fear, pride, and control.
Leader framing
The inner life is where lasting transformation begins. God is not only concerned with what people see; He is deeply concerned with what is being formed within us. This week invites participants to pay attention to the heart, because the condition of the heart shapes the direction of the life.
