Discussion Questions

In the beginning: A brief theology of the body

1. How does the truth that we are created in the image of God impact us? 2. How do these verses in Psalm 139 challenge the way we normally think about our bodies?

3. In what ways do we treat our bodies as projects to perfect rather than gifts from God to steward?

Broken identities: Shame and idolatry1. What are some ‘beauty idols’ our culture encourages us to worship? 2. What does it practically look like to ‘gaze’ at something? 3. Have you ever noticed appearance affecting your mood, confidence, or sense of worth?

Gaze at the beauty of Christ: the power of the gospel!1. How does Jesus redefine beauty? 2. Why can it be difficult to believe that Christ genuinely delights in us? 3. How does the gospel free us from needing the approval of others? 4. How can we practically ‘gaze at Jesus’ instead of ourselves?

Redeemed bodies1. How does the promise of resurrection change how we view our bodies now? 2. What is the difference between stewarding our bodies and idolising them? 3. How might knowing and following Christ reshape everyday habits around food, exercise, rest, or appearance?

Freedom from Chronic Comparison Syndrome

1. Why do we so naturally compare ourselves to others? 2. How can we fight comparison practically?
