   SCRIPTURE: Acts 8 & John 3:1-15

YOU CAN ALSO READ THIS WEEK’S MANUSCRIPT HERE.

REFLECTION/DISCUSSION QUESTIONS:

1. What is the most diverse environment you are in routinely? 

2. Have you ever made an intentional choice to be around viewpoints or cultures different from your own? What about people who are different from you? Reflect on that experience.

3. Kenny argued that what motivates an intentional decision to participate in a diverse environment is curiosity. What are some things you are currently curious about? How can this list grow or expand?

4. Kenny also argued that what motivates real, beneficial curiosity is humility. What do you think this means? Why is humility so important?

5. Read through Acts 8. How does God nudge the early Christian community towards diversity? What is notable about their reactions to some of these challenges?

6. Look at the story of Jesus and Nicodemus in John 3. What do you notice here about humility, curiosity, and intentionality?

7. How does Jesus model the values of humility, curiosity, and intentionality in his own life? 

8. How can you demonstrate curiosity and learn from someone with a different perspective this week?
