Live It Out | A Daily Discipleship Guide

Listen to this week’s sermon or the Live It Out Podcast | APPLE MUSIC | SPOTIFY

Monday

Jesus flips our values right-side up. Where do you feel tension between the world’s version of the “blessed life” and what Jesus says about those who are or will experience the favor of God? How does Jesus’ definition of being “blessed” challenge the way you usually think about success or happiness? What’s one small decision you can make that reflects a kingdom value instead of the world’s expectations? Ask Jesus, “What’s one value you want to flip in me?”

Tuesday

Jesus defines who experiences God’s favor. This prophecy reveals the kind of people to whom God brings healing and restoration—the poor, the brokenhearted, the captive. How does this align with or challenge your idea of who is “favored” by God? What’s one phrase or idea from this chapter you want to hold onto today? How might Jesus be redefining “favor”  in your life? Ask Jesus, “What’s one part of my story you want to redeem and use to bless others?”

Wednesday

Jesus defines what normal looks like in his upright kingdom. What contrast do you see between the way of the wicked and the way of the righteous? Where do you feel the tension of that contrast in your life right now? How does this psalm invite you to respond differently? Ask Jesus, “How do you want to shape my desires and expectations today?”

Thursday

Jesus leads us into a whole-life response. What is a whole-life response? What part of this passage in 1 Corinthians most challenges your assumptions about success or strength? How does this shift your view of what matters most in your own life? What might it look like to embrace the way of Jesus not just in your beliefs, but in your habits, goals, or relationships? Ask Jesus, “What’s one value you want to flip in me?”

Friday

Jesus flips our values right-side up. Reflect on how your perspective may have shifted this week. Where have you sensed Jesus inviting you to live differently? Write out your personal definition of “the good life.” How does this reflect what Jesus taught?
