Week 1

CONTEXT FOR THE SMALL GROUP LEADER 
This series isn’t about mysticism—it’s deeply practical. Encourage students to reflect on moments when they’ve experienced God in their daily lives. Challenge them to stay
mindful of God’s presence in the week ahead and document what they were doing during those meaningful moments.

 QUESTIONS TO ASK YOUR STUDENTS 
  1. Before you came in today, what was the first place you thought of when you heard the word “God”?
  2. Do you believe that you can experience God IRL? How so?
  3. Can you share a time when you were not in church or worship, but were confident that God was with you? How did you know?
  4. Why do people often think God only shows up at church?
  5. Paul said God doesn’t live in temples. What does that mean today?
  6. What do you think it means to “live and move and exist” in God?
  7. Where in your life is it hardest to remember God is with you?
  8. Share a time you felt God outside of church.
  9. How could noticing God more change how you handle stress or fun moments?
