G2 Why did God do so much work in Biblical people’s lives “in the wilderness”? What is the connection between the outdoors and meeting with God? What options are there for people with limited mobility?
G3 In what way do you think our addiction to entertainment and pain-free existing is doing real damage to our souls?
G4 How civilized / wild is your heart? What does it mean to rewild your heart?
G5 What is ONE thing you can do to create some wild time for your soul this Advent / Christmas season? Hint: you will need to be intentional and set some boundaries.
