A simple rhythm for each gathering
5 min · Welcome and check in / 10 min · Read and reflect / 20 min · Discuss / 10 min · Choose a next step and pray
Read the passage together. Invite honest conversation, leave room for different perspectives, and let anyone pass on a question. Adapt the pace and language for your group.
GATHERING 1 · 45–60 MINUTES
The cost of compromise
Read Psalm 139:23–24 CSBWe can get used to explaining away the habits that are costing us the most. Inviting God to search our hearts opens a different path. Honest reflection is a beginning, even before we know how to put everything right.
Talk it through
- What did you notice in the passage? How does it connect with a theme that stood out to you in the movie?
- Why can small compromises become difficult to recognize?
- How can we invite honest feedback without becoming defensive?
Set aside five quiet minutes to name one area that needs change.
Close in prayer
God, help me see my choices clearly and respond honestly. Invite anyone who wishes to share a prayer request; passing is always welcome.
GATHERING 2 · 45–60 MINUTES
Repentance in motion
Read Luke 19:1–10 CSBZacchaeus responds to Jesus with more than an apology. His changed priorities become visible in how he treats other people. Repentance moves us toward concrete repair, not simply relief from guilt.

- What distinguishes regret from a changed direction?
- What does responsible repair look like when consequences remain?

Close in prayer
Jesus, let my actions reflect the change you are making in me. Invite anyone who wishes to share a prayer request; passing is always welcome.
GATHERING 3 · 45–60 MINUTES
Rebuilding at home
Read James 1:19–20 CSBBeing present at home involves more than being in the room. Listening without preparing our defense makes space for an honest relationship. Attention is one practical gift we can offer the people closest to us.

GATHERING 4 · 45–60 MINUTES

- What did you notice in the passage? How does it connect with a theme that stood out to you in the movie?
- What pressures are most likely to pull us back into old patterns?
- How could we encourage accountability without shame or control?
