Small Group Discussion Questions:
(Those currently raising kids) 

1. Growing up, what was the one "fancy" thing in your house that you were absolutely never allowed to touch? 

2. When you look at the "52 hours vs. 3,000 hours" statistic, does that feel like a heavy weight or a massive opportunity? Why? 

3. In what specific area of your "everyday life" (driving, mealtime, bedtime) does God feel more like "Fine China" than a "normal dish"? How can you invite Him into that space this week? 

4. For the dads or those in a lead role, what is the biggest "pothole" (fear or insecurity) that keeps you from leading spiritually at home? 

5. What is one area where your child is currently dependent on you that you want to start intentionally transferring to Jesus? 

6. READ: Psalm 78:2–7. 

According to this passage, what is the specific reason we tell the "next generation" about God’s power and wonders? How does the promise in verse 7—that they might "set their hope in God"—change the way you view a busy week of parenting? 

7. Looking at your calendar today, does it reflect that God is the Axle of your family, or just a Spoke? Is there anything that needs to get adjusted to better reflect your spiritual aim?

Small Group Discussion Questions: Legacy Edition

 (Empty Nesters or Without Kids) 

1. What is one "legacy" item (a tool, a recipe, a piece of jewelry) you’ve inherited that you treasure most? 

2. Looking back at your own upbringing (or your time raising kids), what is one way your "spiritual sonar" picked up on the faith—or lack thereof—of the adults around you? 

3. For empty nesters, the "Transfer of Dependence" has largely happened. How does your role change from being the "coach" to being the "prayer warrior" or "consultant" for the next generation? 

4. If you don't have kids of your own, who is a "spiritual niece or nephew" in this church or your neighborhood that you could begin to influence "on the road"? 

5. Looking at your calendar today, does it reflect that God is the Axle of your life, or just a Spoke? Is there anything that needs to get adjusted to better reflect your spiritual aim? 

6. What is one "chipped plate" story of God’s faithfulness in your life that a younger person in this church needs to hear from you? 

7. READ: Psalm 78:2–7. 

According to this passage, what is the specific reason we tell the "next generation" about God’s power and wonders? 

How does this passage suggest that our spiritual influence actually increases as we get older?
