As a group, you may also find that inviting all (or even some) of the members of your group to ask for others to speak into their lives. To provide communal wisdom on specific issues or even generally.
Below, find the general discussion makers and texts from the message. As you move through these questions, be mindful that what we all really want, even if we have never clearly stated it to ourselves, is to be wise. This runs contrary to the loud voice of impulse, fear, our desire (demand, sometimes...) to be respected, accepted, loved.. You may see and hear hints of this reality playing in the background, if you search for it. Don't allow your discussion to be "about" wisdom. Make it one that moves toward it.
