1. Can you think of a humorous example of you or someone else, sticking their “foot in their mouth?” 

​

2. Are you quick to resolve conflict or offense with others? If not, what causes you to delay? 

​

3. Have you experienced healing through sharing your struggles with others? If so, would you be willing to share an example? 

​

4. How would you speak to someone with truth and love about the following scenarios – 

 

• ​Your teenage son just told you he can’t stand being around you, and to leave him alone. 

• Your spouse forgot your anniversary for the 2nd time in 3 years. 

• Your boss scolded you unjustly in front of your co-workers. 

• A close friend shared a confidential secret that you had shared, with someone you would have never told. 

• Your adult son / daughter has walked away from the Lord. They still love you, but want nothing to do with God.
