1. Has there been a time in your life you thought you were in charge, but discovered you weren’t? 

2. Jesus says our worries often reveal what kingdom we are actually seeking. When you feel the most "anxious" or "stressed," what "earthly kingdom" are you usually trying to protect or build in that moment? 

3. If you looked at your prayer life recently, did you treat Jesus more like a "service provider" (asking Him to fix things) or a "King" (asking for His orders)? What does that reveal about your current faith framework? 

4. READ Luke 6:46-49 - Jesus asks a haunting question: "Why do you keep calling me ‘Lord, Lord!’ when you don’t do what I say?" (In the context of the "Squatter" illustration, this question addresses the locks we put on our doors.)  When you call Jesus "Lord" in worship or prayer, yet find yourself intentionally ignoring His direction in a specific area of your life, what is the specific fear that keeps you from closing that gap?   

5. Surrender usually feels like losing something. Can you share a time in your life when you finally "gave up the keys" to God in a certain area, and instead of losing everything, you actually found a new sense of freedom or life? 

6. The talk mentioned that the root of all lies is that "God can't be trusted to give you what you really desire." If you truly believed—100%—that God was a better "CEO" of your life than you are, what is one major decision you would make differently today?
