ENGAGEMENT QUESTIONS

• "As iron sharpens iron, so one person sharpens another." When have you been sharpened by someone within the faith—someone who shares your commitments to following Jesus? And when have you been sharpened by someone outside the faith-someone whose different perspective or questions challenged your assumptions in a helpful way?

• God's own being is relational-Father, Son, Spirit in eternal communion, constantly giving and receiving. We're made in that image of interdependence, not independence. Where in your life are you trying to go it alone when you actually need others? What makes it hard to ask for help or lean into mutual reliance?

• Turning to one another is where we practice listening for wisdom and truth together. How might this practice shape the way we engage with difference and disagreement in the rest of our lives— in our families, workplaces, neighborhoods, society?
