When have you felt judged?

Are you a confronter? Have you ever confronted someone and the person’s response was more receptive than you had anticipated? (Change the names to protect the innocent.)

Did the sermon or any of this discussion cause you to consider that you may be in the best position to confront someone? What has kept you from doing so to this point?

Is there a behavior, type of person, or lifestyle of which you are frequently judgmental?

Did you find Joe’s comments about behavior versus motives helpful? Did you agree with his point about our tendency to focus on the heart and speculate about intentions? Why does this matter?

Is there anyone who you would assume feels like you’re always critical towards him or her? Is there someone in your life who needs to experience more of a loving tone from you?
