Gina and Keith had different reactions when faced with the possibility of losing their children. Discuss their different reactions, particularly from a saved versus unsaved point of view.
Do you think it’s possible in this day/time, given Facebook and other forms of social media, to hide the fact that you have a child?
Though Gina was a strong woman and was unsaved, she allowed Michael to manipulate her because she believed in marriage and she didn’t want Trey to grow up in a single- parent home. Should we remain in a marriage if we’re unhappy, even if we’re saved? Should a child influence our decision to stay in an unhealthy marriage?
Do you share Colleen’s belief that there are some marriages that God didn’t put together?
What advice can we give to couples that face infertility ? Share some of the reasons for infertility. Do you think it is a punishment from God to be unable to bear children?
Keith ignored God’s voice when he was urged to confess the truth. Have you ever ignored God’s spirit and done your own thing? Share your experiences and any life lessons learned.
Keith faced instances where his flesh and spirit struggled. He knew what was right, but his heart wanted what it wanted. What are some practical tips we can give believers when they are faced with temptation? How did Christ address this in scripture?
God gave Keith a second chance. Do you think he deserved it? Are there certain individuals who you feel don’t deserve a second chance?
Michael’s actions grew out of anger and malice because he had been wronged. Were his actions, though extreme, somewhat justified? Why or why not?
Michael used his children as pawns to get back at Gina. He didn’t consider the innocent children. What lesson can we take from this? Why isn’t it a good or godly idea to use children for revenge?
Keith and Gina’s relationship was messy. She committed adultery, and he betrayed his brother. Should he still be allowed to be in ministry? Why or why not?
