  1. What are some of the ways people try to “chase life,” and why do those things ultimately fall short?
    Have you ever found yourself putting hope in something that didn’t offer the life or fulfillment you expected?
  2. “Death is coming for us.” How does acknowledging our mortality change the way we live today? What does it look like to live in light of eternal life, not just temporary satisfaction?
  3. The first step of the 12 steps says we must admit we are powerless over sin and that our lives have become unmanageable. In what areas of your life do you feel out of control or powerless? How might bringing those things into the light be the beginning of freedom?
  4. Romans 6:23 says, “The wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life through Christ Jesus our Lord.” How do you personally wrestle with or embrace the idea that life in Jesus is a gift and not something we earn?
  5. What are some signs in our own lives—or in others we know—that indicate when we’re missing true life? What role can Jesus play in restoring purpose and meaning?
