Week 2

Introduction — Dehumanization

Accompaniment: amplifying the voice of Jesus in our story (20 minutes):  

• Open in prayer and invite the Holy Spirit to lead and guide the conversation.  

• Listen to each other — What experiences in the past week have facilitated or hindered being a healer in Jesus’ name?

• Take turns briefly praying for each person after they share.

Alignment: recalibrating to the reign of Jesus (40 minutes):  

• Listen to video for week #2 (The extra is about more discussion about the matrix of sin)

• Discuss: How is this understanding of dehumanization different or the same as what you’ve been taught?

• Briefly discuss practices of assimilating the narrative of the gospel of the kingdom that have been helpful for you. (Bible reading, memorization, meditation on Scripture, listen to sermons, etc.)

Agreement: covenanting to walk in the story of Jesus together (15 minutes)

• Agree together on when to meet the following week

• This next week look over the idol list. Remembering that every idol ultimately requires a sacrifice, reflect on how these idols dehumanize us and feeds the narratives that shape us.

• Check out the optional video on why we don’t flourish in the healthcare space.

• Close in agreeing prayer in Jesus’ name.
