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

Show the Ballad of Mark Stuart (be aware: this video is very useful but it is 9 minutes) and/or the Hands and Feet video, then ask:

• What would it be like to be professional singer and lose the ability to sing?
• How much do you think he questioned God when he could no longer be leader of a band when he had done that most of his adult life?
• What would cause Mark Stuart to press on with caring for poor children in Haiti after playing shows to large crowds?
• In what ways do you think he finds fulfillment now as opposed to the time when he was a singer?

Content

Read Psalm 146, then watch the Bible Background Video.
