MAN UP MONTHLIES 01 - Understanding the Battlefield

GROUP 01 - DISCUSSION QUESTIONS

1. Give an example of a common struggle for men. (Anger/rage, anxiety, depression, compulsive spending, pornography, sex outside of marriage, gambling, recreational drug and alcohol dependencies, etc.). Why do you think men struggle with these? 

2. What is one takeaway you gained today about triggered or unmanageable behavior? 

3. Have you ever struggled in an area, then “tried harder” or “prayed more” or “read the Bible more” only to discover that approach didn’t work? Why do you think that is? 

4. How would you describe your family of origin:

   1) Rigid [religious]

   2) Relational and connected

   How has that influenced your life today?

5. King David has a “father wound” as a “worthless son.” Have you ever considered that unmanageable behavior is rooted in traumas (big “T” and little “t” traumas)?

6. Why can’t you win the “unmanageable behavior” challenge alone? Why do you need others who love you to help you win the battle?
