Conversation Starters
How would you describe your identity right now—what voices or influences (culture, past experiences, success/failure) are shaping how you see yourself?
The idea of being “seated with Christ” means we live from approval, not for it. Where in your life do you find yourself still striving to earn something God has already given?
