1. If you and someone close to you had to team up for a completely ridiculous mission, what would you be a great team at accomplishing together? 


2. The talk described how relationships can slowly “drift” when life gets busy. What are some of the things that can quietly pull our attention away from the people and relationships that matter most? 


3. The talk challenged us to ask, “What are we FOR?” What is something you care deeply about or would love to make a difference in—and how might God be inviting you to move from simply caring about it to actually doing something about it? 


4. The talk mentioned not just looking for shared interests, but looking for shared values. What is the difference between having common interests with someone and being united around common values? Why do you think shared values become especially important when life gets difficult or circumstances change? 


5. Read Joshua 24:15 alongside the example of Priscilla and Aquila in Acts 18:24–26 and 1 Corinthians 16:19. 


A. What do these passages show us about what it can look like for a household or a couple to intentionally live for something bigger than themselves? 


B. If you were to put your own “mission statement” into words, what would you want your home, relationships, or life to be FOR? What is one step you could take to begin living that out? 


6. The talk says that “marriage without community is a vulnerable marriage” and emphasizes that we aren’t meant to do life alone. Who are the people God has placed around you who help you stay connected to Him and the purpose He has for your life? What is one step you could take to become more intentional about those relationships?
