Discussion Questions:
1. Talk about a time when you learned a life lesson from an experience in your past. What happened? What did you learn?
2. In what ways was Paul the perfect candidate to receive a commission to reach the Gentiles for Christ?
3. Reread Philippians 3:1-11. What does it mean to consider all of his religious pedigree as “loss”?
4. Paul finished his life well. What advice would you give about how to do the same (especially to someone who might be struggling with past regrets and shame)?
