Episode notes
Drive-In Night Went Off Script

- The group was too hyped so the study was postponed and turned into a later drive-in-themed study.
Movie Tie-In To Scripture
- Alex connected the Fantastic Four film to 1 John by using the found-family theme with her group.
- She used the movie's family metaphor to open discussion about being part of God's family.
Belonging Comes Before Behaviour
- Alex emphasized that 1 John shows believers are welcomed into God's family and the work is already done by Jesus.
- She framed the Spirit's presence as the means God uses to help believers live as his children rather than a burden of law-keeping.
