  • When you were a kid, would your parents or teachers have said you were super confident? Or would they have said you were a stay-in-the-back kid who struggled with self-doubt?
  • Jeff shared the story of Gideon, a leader God used to make a big impact. But Gideon was also someone who dealt with self-doubt. What do you think is the difference between self-doubt and true humility?
  • After God used him, Gideon struggled with pride and self-preoccupation. How would you define pride? How is it different than confidence?
  • Jeff talked about how there are three big hindrances to making an impact: discouragement, self-doubt, and self-reliance. Which of these three is most likely to get in your way right now? How are you working to overcome that hindrance?
  • Jeff said this current season might be the best opportunity we have to make an impact in our lifetimes. How have you seen unique opportunities to make a difference over the past few weeks?
  • Read Matthew 20:28. How do Jesus’ words and example inspire you to live differently this season? Get specific.
