“Every boy, in his journey to become a man, takes an arrow in the center of his heart, in the place of his strength. Because the wound is rarely discussed and even more rarely healed, every man carries a wound. And the wound is nearly always given by his father.”

— John Eldredge, Wild at Heart

Talk it over:

1. Every parent/guardian has strengths and weaknesses. Briefly talk about how you were raised. What was something that was a blessing about how you grew up? What was something that was a challenge?

2. God the Father said three things to Jesus at His baptism: "I believe in you," "I’m proud of you," and "I will always love you." Which one do you need to grow in expressing to the people in your life?

3. We’ve talked about the heart of a warrior, the insecure warrior, the warrior’s weakness, and the wounded warrior. What is the one thing that stands out to you as something God has shown you?

Give you the opportunity to start a relationship with Jesus:

God created us to be with him.
Our sins separate us from God.
Sins can’t be removed by good deeds.
Paying the price for sin Jesus died and rose again.
Everyone who trust in him alone has eternal life.
Life with Jesus starts now and last forever!
