1. Can you think of a time when your own experiences or emotions made you question what you’ve heard about God or the Bible? How did this questioning affect your journey to understand your faith better?

2. Have you ever found yourself questioning religious teachings more from skepticism than curiosity? How do you think this perspective has shaped your approach to learning about Jesus?

3. While you may not have experienced a dramatic moment like Thomas in John 20:24-29, have there been subtler instances where you felt drawn closer to Jesus or more curious about His message? How did those moments make you feel about your spiritual exploration?

4. Considering that a solid foundation in faith begins with understanding who Jesus is, as suggested by Luke 20:20-40, how could learning more about Jesus' life and teachings help you navigate and reconcile the challenging aspects of the Bible with your personal beliefs or experiences?
