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

Play the Religion Explained… video and ask:

• This was a scene from a famous comedy, but what parts of it rang a little true and why?
• How do you usually respond when people question your faith practices?
• What do you think is the right way to handle public faith disagreements?
• Why do you think people find it so easy to escalate from a position of thinking that someone is mistaken, to thinking that someone is an enemy?
