Discussion Questions
-
Briefly review what role each of the following topics plays in SoulCare: passion, wisdom, journeying reality, vision, reframing, and categories of understanding.
-
Passion looks at what is going on in my soul and in the other person’s soul. What are the motives behind what we are doing? What is our junk?
Wisdom comes from God. We must be relying on His Spirit in order to be able to provide true Soul Care. It will guide the direction we take, the questions that we ask.
Journeying Reality is looking at where the person is in their journey. What are they experiencing in their life. What is real?
Vision is having a bigger picture than the present reality. It’s wondering what God might be up to in their life. How is the Spirit working in their life.
Reframing causes you to think about how the specifics fit into the bigger story of their soul.
Various categories of understanding help you to process the person’s story and how they have believed lies about how life is working. It helps you think about what they might be chasing or believing. -
Passion – Ruling passions run your soul and direct your focus. SoulCare involves understanding that our ultimate appetite for God must be our ruling passion.
Wisdom – the fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom, we must acknowledge our dependency on God before we can provide SoulCare and remain dependent on His leading
Journeying reality – we must face our inadequacy and dependence on the Spirit, we hare not to fix people or problem solve, we are to journey with them on a real search for God’s truth in their life
vision -Have a vision for the image bearer of Christ that we are journeying with, a vision beyond their immediate problems or circumstances, to their ultimate destination in Christ
reframing
categories of understanding ..
Brokenness – we are self-centered and hopeless without God
Repentence – I long to be other centered
Abandonment – absolute abandonment to God
Confidence – God has the power and provision necessary for me to move in the directions that my soul most longs to move
Release – being ready to release the lies of self-reliance and dependence on others and trust God
