DIVE IN QUESTIONS

1. What stands out to you as you read/hear this part of the Christmas story again today?
2. Think for a moment about your own journey with God.\xa0 What have been those profound moments of encounter with God that have most profoundly shaped you?\xa0 How much silence stretches between those encounters?\xa0 If you don\u2019t yet have one of those moments to point to, think of other stories you\u2019ve heard of others encounters, and reflect on these same questions.
3. Have you ever been discouraged in your faith or struggled with the silence of God?\xa0 What is it that you find hard or have wrestled with?
4. What is it that \u201cgreatly troubles\u201d Mary?\xa0 Why is that strange?
5. Do you believe that \u201cthe Lord is with you?\u201d\xa0 How might wrestling with that reality shape your life and faith today and going forward? \xa0
