The Enemy loves to use our past failures and deepest insecurities as a way of convincing us we don't belong at the table — this week, Giglio shows us why that is one of his biggest lies.
Discussion Questions
8 questions1.Giglio argues that shame and insecurity are among the Enemy's favorite weapons because they go after identity — they don't just say "you did something bad," they say "you *are* bad." How have you experienced that distinction between guilt (what I did) and shame (who I am) in your own life?
2.The image of a table being prepared *for you* — by name, with care — is a direct assault on the shame that says you don't belong or don't deserve a place. What does it do to your sense of self when you let the reality of that image actually land?
3.Ephesians 1 is a cascade of declarations about who you are in Christ — chosen, adopted, redeemed, forgiven, lavished with grace. Giglio suggests that the antidote to insecurity is immersing yourself in these truths until they become more real to you than your feelings. How do you actually do that? What has worked for you, and what hasn't?
