- Read Luke 24:13-35. How does this passage impact you? What are some insights you have gleaned from this story?
- Has there been a time when you knew you had to leave a place, a relationship, or a situation even when you weren’t sure where you were going? How did you navigate that?
- Have you ever experienced a time or season where you couldn’t see God beyond the pain? Would you be willing to share how that impacted you? In retrospect, how would you say that has impacted your relationship with God?
- Can you recall a time that you felt something strongly in your spirit even if you had no cognitive explanation? Did you listen or not listen to your spirit and what was the outcome? What, if anything, would you do differently and what wisdom did you glean from that experience?
- Luke recounts that Jesus led them on an extended journey through Scripture giving them a different lens through which to interpret it. How might this change how we handle and interpret Scripture?
- Can you describe a time when you transitioned from one theology or way oof viewing an issue to another? What was that experience like for you (jarring, freeing, lengthy, abrupt)? How do we determine a good and sound theology?
