Go Deeper:
1. Why is it so important to surround yourself with godly advisors?
2. Why is it so dangerous to make life-altering decisions in isolation?
3. Knowing that Gideon did not have any godly advisors, do you think his requests regarding the fleece were based on insecurity and fear or diligence and wisdom? Why do you feel that way?
4. Why do you think Gideon chose to worship after hearing the interpretation of the dream?
5. Do you feel like you worship God enough based on what He has done for you? Why or why not?
6. Read Judges 7:17 and 1 Corinthians 11:1. How are the verses similar?
7. Gideon’s demeanor seemed to change after Judges 7:17. What do you think changed and why?
8. If 300 people were to watch you and do exactly as you do, what would you hope they would emulate?
