Christian-ish: A Faith That Puts God Second
Lots of people identify as Christians—about one-third of the world, in fact. But calling ourselves Christians and actually following Jesus can be two different things. Without even realizing it, we can slip into a faith that’s more about appearances than about a life-changing relationship with Christ. This series challenges people to confront how they may be practicing a compromised version of Christianity: one in which comfort, convenience, or cultural norms overshadow true faith, obedience, and transformation. Each week, we’ll tackle a different way this can show up in our lives and explore what it looks like to move from shallow faith to a deeper, more committed relationship with Jesus.

A Faith That Puts God Second
qanna: God’s righteous, consuming, covenant-keeping jealousy that relentlessly pursues and protects His relationship with His people
• Does this lead me closer to God or distract me from God?
• Do I rely on this more than God for my comfort, my identity, or my worth?
• If God asked me to give this up, would I give it up without hesitation?
What Does It Mean to Follow Jesus?
Talk It Over
• Share about your early faith experiences. How did you prioritize God when you first started following Jesus, and how has that changed over time?
• Is there an area of your life that’s taking priority over God? How could you make God more of a priority, and how might your life look different as a result?
