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 Wrongly Convicted news story and ask:

• How do you think it feels to be accused of something you did not do?
• When have you been accused of doing something maliciously when you did not intend it to be harmful to others?
• When have you said something you did not intend to be harmful but it turned out to be harmful?
• How did you deal with those situations and what advice might you give to someone else who is experiencing something similar?
