THE THANG:

Theme:

Self-awareness — Becoming the man God designed by honestly assessing how we show up as fathers, husbands, and leaders.

⸻

? Opening Icebreaker

• “What’s one way you’ve been humbled lately — funny or serious?”

• “Name one word your spouse or kid might use to describe you this week.”

⸻

? Scripture Focus & Discussion

1. James 1:23–25 (Mirror Check)

“Anyone who listens to the word but does not do what it says is like someone who looks at his face in a mirror and… goes away and immediately forgets what he looks like.”

? Discussion Questions:

• What kind of “mirror” are you using to evaluate yourself? Culture? Others? God’s Word?

• Where are you pretending — showing up one way publicly but being another privately?

• What part of your life (father, husband, leader) do you tend to avoid looking at honestly?

⸻

1. 2 Corinthians 13:5

“Examine yourselves to see whether you are in the faith; test yourselves…”

? Discussion Questions:

• When was the last time you did a real self-check?

• What areas are you strong in — and where are you coasting?

• What’s one part of your life you feel God is asking you to look at more closely?

⸻

1. Micah 6:8

“What does the Lord require of you? To act justly, love mercy, and walk humbly with your God.”

? Discussion Questions:

• In your roles — dad, husband, man — what does “walking humbly” look like?

• Which of the three (justice, mercy, humility) is hardest for you to live out at home or at work?

⸻

? Reflection Questions

• “Where am I pretending to have it together?”

• “How do I want to show up differently this week?”

• “Who do I need to apologize to or ask for feedback from?”

? Challenge of the Week:

Ask one person you love:

“How do you experience me as a dad/husband/friend?”

Just listen — no defense, no fixing. Just receive.

Prayer Focus:

• That we would lead with humility, not bravado.
