How was your Christmas and New Years Break? Any highlights?
View the After Party:
As part of this series, the After Party will focus on skills and dynamics that can help with inviting vulnerability and supporting one another in healthy ways. These will be longer than the usual After Party, but we highly recommend starting each group with them.

Sermon Points:
- The most important part of your life isn’t what’s happening to you, it’s what’s happening IN you
- The journey through mental health challenges is more than just spiritual
- God can turn your breakdown into your breakthrough
Discuss:
1. Did anything from the sermon stick out or did you have any questions?
2. Scott said, “this series is about what’s happening in us, as we navigate what’s happening to us.” What was your reaction to that? How did it make you feel? Did it cause you to think about anything?
3. Have you felt (or been taught) that faith and mental health are supposed to be separate things? Why do we usually resist integrating them?
4. How does the lens of mental health illuminate new things about the Elijah story?
5. Have you ever seen God take a tragedy or breakdown and turn it into something transformational or restorative?
