Leader Reflection Guide
— Purpose & Use

This reflection guide is not intended to provide “correct answers” to the questions posed in the study. Instead, it offers a Walking His Way perspective on how these passages can be approached through Christ-centered discernment.

Leaders are encouraged to use this guide as a theological compass, not a script.

The reflections that follow model:

  • How to engage Scripture thoughtfully and humbly
  • How to hold tension without rushing toward certainty
  • How to distinguish belief from lived discipleship
  • How to remain rooted in Christ’s teachings while wrestling honestly with Scripture

These reflections are meant to inform posture, not dictate conclusions. Leaders may draw from this language, adapt it to their own voice, or simply use it to deepen their own understanding before facilitating discussion.

Walking His Way values discernment over dogma, practice over performance, and formation over persuasion. Leaders are invited to speak from within the journey, not above it.
