For further study:

1. One of Tim’s slides this week read, “Christianity was never meant to be a religious belief system. It has always been about a new way to be a human.” 

Consider for a moment your own thoughts and ideas about belief itself. What is the role of belief, or even “a belief system” in your own faith story aim years passed and today? Where do you find belief to be important? Where do you find yourself saying/thinking, “I believe…?”Where might belief  be over-emphasized or under-emphasized? And why do you think so?

2. In discussing the likely familiar ideas that we (as the people of the kingdom of God) are “salt and light,” Tim told us that our task is to:

- “draw out a sensitivity to the  God who is already present and active in the world.” (Salt) &- “to orient everyone in the space, helping them see their way.” (Light)

If someone were to ask you *how* to go about drawing out sensitivity to God & orienting people in the spaces of life? What skills or capacities do you think might best equip people - including you - for these important tasks? What might it look like to do these things - in big picture roles and small everyday encounters? 

3. Take a moment to revisit as a group  “walking wall” metaphor. What ideas, thoughts, memories, and feelings does this metaphor evoke in you? What are some of the lessons you have learned, are learning, or hope to learn from looking through your faith through this lens? What questions and spaces of curiosity surface?

 You might also share about some of the “rocks” you’ve carried forward, repositioned, and maybe even wrestled with as you’ve worked to carry forward the wall in your own life.
