Episode Synopsis
1. What is the central metaphor used in the sermon to describe the life of faith, and why is it described as a process rather than a possession?2. According to the text, what is the specific definition of a disciple?3. Describe the "dual trail" that believers are called to walk and identify its two primary components.4. What are the two spiritual dangers of focusing on only one part of the dual trail, and what labels are given to people who fall into these imbalances?5. What is the Greek word used for "to walk about," and what does its meaning imply about the nature of faith?6. Explain the primary role of the Holy Spirit in a believer's walk with God.7. Summarize the four stages of spiritual growth outlined in the sermon, from infancy to parenthood.8. The sermon uses several biblical figures as examples of people who "walked with God." Name at least three of these figures.9. According to the source, why are individuals saved? What is the purpose beyond their personal salvation?10. What did the speaker learn from his father about how to walk on a trail, and how does this relate to the spiritual walk?1. Analyze the sermon's use of physical objects—the father-in-law's walking stick, the father's "boyender," and modern trekking poles—as extended metaphors for guidance, character, and spiritual assistance in the walk of faith.2. Discuss the concept of discipleship as a journey "towards perfection." How does the sermon address the intimidating nature of this idea, and what does it mean to be "in motion" on this path, even if it's just "a leaning"?3. Explore the role of "community" as described in the sermon. How do small groups function to support believers on their walk, both in times of celebration and in times of difficulty?4. The sermon contrasts the purposeful "rhythm" of walking with the Holy Spirit against a "pinball kind of approach to living." Elaborate on this contrast, using examples from the text like the men in orange jumpsuits and the call to reflexive obedience.5. Examine the idea that God's desire to walk with humanity is one of "friendship." How does this concept challenge the "lie" about God that the world supposedly promotes, and how is it reinforced in the sermon's concluding prayer and hymn?
