Personal Reflection / Growth Group Discussion

1. From your own experiences, how does unresolved guilt typically affect a person?
2. In terms of guilt, how would you assess your life?
3. Does involving at least one other in the act of confession raise the bar too high? Is there value to "out in the open" confession? Why or why not?
4. In your own life, what step do you need to take to more fully experience God's or another's forgiveness?

2. Enemy #2...

Enemy #2 - anger
Anger equates to you owe me.

3. How does unresolved anger typically affect a person?
4. In terms of anger, how would you assess your own life?
5. What are some of the most meaningful ways God has shown his forgiveness?
6. In what ways can you more fully extend forgiveness to others and be freed from anger?

Enemy #3 - greed
Greed equates to I owe me.
