World
- What does the world say about our hearts? Share real examples (Valentine’s Day, etc.)

Us
2 Thessalonians 3:5 - “May the Lord direct your hearts into the love of God and into the steadfastness of Christ”
God wants to make our hearts whole. As we experience wholeness, our bodies follow.
- In what specific ways has God transformed your heart and given you Kingdom desires? (death to life moments)
- Are there parts of your heart you are afraid to give to him?
- What small things can you do this week to recalibrate and turn your heart towards Him?
- How can we lean on one another?
When a heart is transformed, all of the body begins to come to life.
