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

Start by asking:

• What would it be like to be born in a perfect world created just for you?
• How would you feel if, in this perfect world, you were watched all times?

Play the Truman Show Trailer and ask:
.
– How would you feel as Truman (Jim Carrey)?
– What would be the best and worst part of having your own “perfect” world?
– If you are familiar with the movie (and small part of trailer giving this away), what causes Truman to want to leave his paradise?
– How does the Truman Show plot compare to the Genesis narrative of Adam and Eve? What lessons should we learn from the idea of the Truman Show movie?
