2. Since becoming a Christian what is something you’ve been able to do that you couldn’t do before? 
3. Are you okay with your kids leaving you to follow God’s will for their lives?
4. When you look back at your past, what are some of the experiences you’ve had that strengthen your faith in the present? 
5. Could your life, as it is currently being lived, sustain a demonstration of God’s power?
