Retreat Reflection Questions
Take some time to genuinely reflect on what God revealed
to you during Encounter. Be honest, prayerful, and specific as you
answer each question.
- What did God reveal to you about yourself during Encounter?
- What did the Holy Spirit expose, challenge, or ask you to surrender?
- Where do you most need to become more like Christ?
- What would transformation in that area practically look like?
- What has your attention (what are you beholding) that may be shaping you more than Christ is?
- If you continue living the way you are currently living, who are you becoming? Is that person becoming more like Jesus?
- Who is Christ calling you to become?
- What needs to change in your life so that Christ increasingly becomes the one you behold?
- What is one practice or commitment you will take home from Encounter to help you continually behold Christ?
- What could keep you from following through, and what will you do about it?
