S14 E22 - The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe (Chapters 13-17)

Abiding Together

In this week's episode, we conclude our book study on the Lion, The Witch, and the Wardrobe. We chat about the resurrection, what it means to be restored and reconciled, and making space for childlike wonder. We hope you’ve enjoyed this book study with us and will see you again this Fall!

Journal Questions:

• Where do I need to ask God for mercy in my life right now?
• Where is my heart hard?
• How can I allow time and space for playfulness, joy, and childlike wonder?
• Where am I dying and need Christ to bring life and make things new?

Discussion Questions:

• When have you experienced mercy?
• Who is someone that you need to offer mercy to?
• What do you experience when God has you in a process or journey? Are you able to be patient or are you filled with unrest and anxiety?
• In what ways do you live life in gray? In what ways do you live life in technicolor?

Quote to Ponder:

“We are not on earth to guard a museum, but to cultivate a flowering garden of life.” - Pope John XXIII

Scripture for Lectio:

“Therefore we have been buried with him by baptism into death, so that, just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, so we too might walk in the newness of life. For if we have been united with him in a death like his, we will certainly be united with him in a resurrection like his.” - Romans 6:4-5
