9. In what environments are you most “at home” and most successful?
What things break your heart or
provoke “righteous anger” within you?
What pure things fill you with excitement & are ways you can connect with others?

11. “Equipping” Questions:
1.) Will you allow yourself to be equipped?
2.) Do you strive to live for comfort or impact?
3.) Will you accept this Vision as your own?
4.) How can the church better equip you and
encourage you towards an impactful life?
