2. In the message, Drew explored the concept of escapism and its potential effects on relationships. Can you identify areas in your life where escapism, whether through technology, entertainment, or other means, has influenced your relationships? How do you think this has shaped the narrative of your life so far?

3. Jesus chose to be fully present in the midst of challenging circumstances. What are some practical steps you can take to be more present in your relationships, especially during difficult times? How might this impact the stories you are telling through your life?

4. What story do you want to tell about yourself and your decisions one day?
