Discussion Questions

1. According to Pastor Juan, how did Buck's life take a wrong turn that led him to criminal activities? How is Buck doing now? What are the benefits of a stable home?

2. Is God calling you to forgive someone who has hurt you? How can we help people like Buck who have made a mess of their lives? Why does Buck deserve a second chance?

3. Why did Whit ask questions rather than put up the poster for the Let’s Get Together festival? Tell me what you think the words inclusivity and tolerance mean. What is right—and wrong—about inclusivity and tolerance? Do you agree with Whit’s conclusion?

4. What is Rhonda Adelaide’s attitude toward the Bible? Do you know people who feel the same way? What can you say to them?

5. How do you define a family? Do you know any families that are different from your definition? How are they different?
