REALationships: They Start Here, For Real

1. Garry joked that relationships are amazing… until people get involved. What’s a lighthearted example from your own life that proves how true that is?

2. In the message, Garry talked about how contestants on Alone often tap out because of isolation, not survival challenges. What does that reveal about how God designed us for relationships?

3. Read Ephesians 5:21. When you hear the word submit, what’s your honest gut reaction, and why do you think that is? How did the explanation of hupotassō (voluntary cooperation, not forced servitude) challenge or reshape your view?

4. Garry said submission is choosing what’s best for us over what’s best for me. Can you share a time when someone did that for you? How did it impact the relationship?

5. Read Philippians 2:5-8. This describes Jesus modeling humility and submission.

What is one relationship in your life right now where choosing humility and service could bring healing or growth?

6. What is one practical way you could “submit to one another out of reverence for Christ” this week–at home, at work, or with a friend, even when it costs you something?
