The October Soul Matters Theme is “Courage.” Join us in exploring this theme with the following questions:

  1. What fears did your family of origin pass on to you?
  2. What is the greatest act of courage that you directly witnessed? And how did it change you?
  3. What was your bravest moment of not running away? How are you being called to bravely not
    run away today?
  4. What do you know now about courage that you didn’t know when you were younger?
  5. How do you think your future self will look back on who you are today and rate your courage?
  6. What fear takes up more space in your head and heart than you want?
  7. How has your life partner made you braver?
  8. What will it take to finally have that conversation that scares you so much?
  9. Is it time to tell someone how scared you really are?
  10. Is safely tiptoeing around “it” making you ill?
  11. Where are you saying “yes” when you need to courageously say “no”?
  12. Is comfort luring you away from courage?
  13. What if the secret to feeling less fear is to stop trying to keep yourself safe?
  14. Is fear making your world too small?
