Finished Episode one?
Here are a few questions to help you keep the conversation going. No need to cover them all — just pick a few and see where the conversation takes you.
1. General Reactions
Whose story did you find yourself relating to more? What was it about their journey that clicked with you?
Was there a specific moment or quote in the film that really grabbed your attention?
What do you think ‘life to the full’ looks like? Did anything in the film change that?
2. Exploring Ben’s Story
Ben obviously felt like he was missing something despite seeming to have to have it all. Have you ever felt a sense of ’emptiness’ even when life has been going well?
In your own life, what are the things that usually give you the most significant sense of peace or purpose?
Do you feel they ever let you down or come up short?
3. Exploring Toni-Lee’s Story
Toni-Lee was very sceptical of church at first, picturing it as judgmental or ‘middle class.’ What has been your general impression of religious communities, and how did her experience compare to what you’ve seen?
Would you be willing to give church a go?
4. John’s Gospel (Wedding at Cana)
Looking at John’s written account of these events (insert link to YouVersion Bible?), is there anything in the details that he records that don’t make sense?
What about the miracle did you find most surprising or exciting?
Have you ever felt like ‘the wine is running out?’
Did the story change your impression of Jesus in any way?
5. Exploring further
Both people in the film had a ‘turning point’ where their perspective shifted. Have you ever had a moment or an experience that completely changed the way you look at the world?
What do you think would need to change for you to consider following Jesus?
Ben mentioned that he had to be ‘willing to give things up’ to find what he was looking for. Do you think that’s a scary concept, or is it just a natural part of finding something more important?
