1.   When something bad happens to you or someone you love, what's your instinct? Do you look for a reason or explanation, or do you sit with the uncertainty? How do you find peace in that scenario?

2.   The disciples assumed someone's sin caused the man's blindness. Where do you still see that kind of thinking today — the idea that suffering is linked to punishment? Have you ever felt that way about your own struggles?

3.   Jesus responds to the disciples' question not with an explanation but a commission — "we must do the works of him who sent me." What does this commission to action look like practically in your own neighbourhood or community?

4.   The man born blind couldn't give a theological answer about Jesus — all he could say was "I was blind, now I see." Having revelation of who Christ is, is foundational to our faith. It grounds us not in facts, but in God's testimony. What's your version of that statement? What do you know to be true from your own experience of God even when you can't explain everything?

5.   The Pharisees had the most biblical knowledge in the room and were the most blind. How can certainty or needing all the answers actually become a barrier to faith? Where have you see that in yourself?

6.   The man's journey to faith was messy and out of order — he was healed before he even believed. How does that challenge the way we think about who is "in" or "out" or what a faith journey is supposed to look like?

7.   Jesus found the man after he was thrown out and alone. Where in your life right now do you need Jesus to find you? What would it look like to ask his question — "Who is he, I want to believe?"
