Invite a trusted group member to follow up with you and encourage you as you carry your chosen practice into the week.
Set aside fifteen minutes this week to reflect honestly on the question: Who do I believe I am? Write down the labels that come to mind, then write alongside them what God says is true. Notice where there is a gap.
Identify one person in the family of God who is difficult for you to love or whom you have been keeping at a distance. Take one concrete step toward them this week. That might be a conversation, a message, an act of generosity, or simply showing up.
Write down one story the world has been telling you about who you are. Then write a response to it rooted in what John says: you have been born of God. Keep it somewhere you will see it.
Name the area of obedience you have been resisting. Share it with one trusted person in the group and ask them to check in with you about it next week.
At the end of each day this week, ask yourself: Was faith growing today? Was love becoming tangible? Was I willing in obedience? Was I resisting the world's false stories? You are not grading yourself. You are paying attention to where God is at work.
