Before the Session

• Have the Bible Background Video ready to view.
• Review today’s scripture text and the session activities to help better facilitate the discussion.
• Encourage your group to listen to the Faithelement podcast ahead of the next session (Share the link via email or social media).

Context

Listen together to Larry Norman’s “Nightmare 97” and ask:

• What was the strangest part of this song and why?
• What other songs have you heard that described strange visions and in what ways have such songs affected us?
• When have you or someone you known had an especially vivid dream that affected you in some way?
• Why do you think that having such “visions” are such a persistent feature of the human experience?

Content

Read 2 Corinthians 12:2-10, then watch the Bible Background Video.
