January 11, 2026 // Pirates: The Pirate Of Distraction
1. Where do you feel the most distracted right now? Is it work, family life, your phone, relationships, church stuff? What seems to pull your attention in the most directions?
2. Read Luke 10:38-40. Which character do you relate to more, Mary or Martha? Why?
When life gets busy, do you default to doing more or being present less?
3. What are some “urgent” things in your life that might be crowding out the “important” things? Not bad things - just loud ones. What’s quietly getting pushed to the margins?
4. Read Luke 10:41-42. Jesus said Mary chose “what is better.” What do you think that looks like practically in your life right now?
5. If distraction causes us to drift just a few degrees at a time, what would help you stay on course? Is it a habit, a boundary, a schedule change, or accountability from someone?
What’s one small way you could “sit at Jesus’ feet” this week?
