The main focus of our discussion of Chapter 4 - The Wound - was families.
First, we talked about our fathers:
memories of our fathers
the types of fathers he had
fathers (and mothers) today vs. years ago
We answered the question: "Describe a time in your life when you heard words like those Jesus heard from His Father - "I am deeply proud of you; you have what it takes." "
We next talked about our relationship with our siblings, and how that relationship affected our relationship with our parents. How does this affect our lives today?
We then moved into talking about our mothers. What were some memories (good or bad) that stand out in your relationship with your mother?We talked about whether any of us had made "a vow" when we were younger. Maybe a vow to do something differently than your parents did? Was the vow made as a result of the wound?
We ended by discussing the Christian influences our families had on us as we were growing up.
Up next: CHAPTER 5: THE BATTLE FOR A MAN'S HEART!
