Guardrails by Andy Stanley Topic: Direct and Protect Teammates January 21, 2018 Lee Bennett -facilitator

Table Talk: 8 minutes What was your initial reaction to what has been called the “Billy Graham Rule” recently popularized by VP Mike Pence? Do you think it’s a good idea? Is it too extreme? Have you seen it penalize women in the workplace?

Functions of Guardrails: 35 minutes 1.-to direct 2.-to protect And NOW – Dr. Andy Stanley http://northpoint.org/messages/guardrails-2017/direct-and-protect/

Table talk #2: 8 minutes Andy listed 4 areas where guardrails may be helpful: finances, relationships, morality, and profession. Do you have an example of establishing guardrails in any of these areas?

Final Table talk: 8 minutes Do you agree that culture doesn’t value the concept of guardrails and criticizes those who attempt to live within the safety zone. Why or why not? Have you ever been criticized for setting standards or establishing boundaries?

Wrap up Josh McDowell quote from Eph. 6:1-3; to protect you and to provide for you! “Stepping away from what has the potential to harm you is stepping in the direction of the One who loves you. God isn’t trying to keep you away from something; He is drawing you toward Someone-Himself. In preparation for next week, spend some time thinking about where you need to establish or re-establish guardrails.
