Take a courageous step and share a time when you felt disqualified.
How do you manage the feeling of shame for the mistakes you’ve made over against the declaration of Jesus that forgiveness qualifies anyone to follow him?
How can God use your weakness, or shame, or past mistakes to demonstrate His love to those who are still getting tripped up by their weakness, shame, or past mistakes?
