Through Suffering
Queries:
How has the way others have navigated their suffering inspired you?
How have you navigated your own suffering? How have you survived suffering?
How have you found God, hope, love, others, or yourself in suffering?
God, Good, and Goodwill (Guest Speaker: Andrew Franklin)
Queries:
Do I see abundance and generosity as a threat? Have I ever seen others view generosity as a threat?
How will I best respond (instead of reacting) to others being threatened by generosity?
How do I create a practice of discerning good that will adapt and progressively modify my autopilot so I become the change for good I want to see in the world?
Are there people I know that I could help with their practice of abundance thinking?
Receiving Feedback
“If your brother or sister sins against you, go and point out the fault when the two of you are alone. If you are listened to, you have regained that one. But if you are not listened to, take one or two others along with you, so that every word may be confirmed by the evidence of two or three witnesses. If that person refuses to listen to them, tell it to the church, and if the offender refuses to listen even to the church, let such a one be to you as a gentile and a tax collector. Truly I tell you, whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven. Again, truly I tell you, if two of you agree on earth about anything you ask, it will be done for you by my Father in heaven. For where two or three are gathered in my name, I am there among them.”
Anger, Explored

What is constructive anger? What is destructive anger?
How is anger a part of my God image, for better or worse?
When has anger hurt me or others? When has it helped me or others?
Renew Your Mind, Love Yourself
Queries:
What forces and patterns should I resist?
How can I be “renewing my mind”?
What–in the most positive sense–does it mean to me to be a “living sacrifice”?
Who am I? What am I? How could what and who I am be a gift to those in need?
What Really is Unity?
How very good and pleasant it is when kindred live together in unity! It is like the precious oil on the head, running down upon the beard, on the beard of Aaron, running down over the collar of his robes. It is like the dew of Hermon, which falls on the mountains of Zion. For there the Lord ordained his blessing, life forevermore.
