DISCUSSION QUESTIONS

1. It’s your turn in the hot seat! Have you ever found yourself in a tough situation and couldn’t handle the pressure? What did you do?

2. Has there ever been a situation where you’ve second guessed yourself on a decision because you knew that decision wouldn’t affect just you but other people as well? (Family, co-workers, friends, etc)

3. Do you feel as though you’re the type of person that actively tries to avoid high-pressure situations, or do you face them head-on? Why do you think this is?

4. Do you think that there are pressures we have to face or have to get involved in because we know that the cost or consequences of avoiding that pressure would actually be worse than facing it?

5. When we face the “fires” in our lives, what are some ways that we can intentionally choose courage?
