This Is Us - Kathleen Elliott

What if the most powerful part of your story isn’t the ending - but the mess in the middle? In this message, Kathleen Elliott shares her honest, unfinished journey of faith, parenting, and showing up when life feels messy. If you've ever wondered where God is in the middle of your doubts, struggles, or everyday chaos, this story is for you. Discussion Questions: 1. Where in your life do you feel like you're in “the messy middle” right now? 2. What are the parts of your story you’d rather keep hidden, and where might God be gently nudging you to be more vulnerable? 3. Have you ever mistaken “comfort” for “God’s plan”? How has discomfort shaped your faith? 4. Where have you seen God show up, not to fix things, but simply to be present with you? 5. What false beliefs about God or yourself are you currently unlearning? 6. Are there prayers, people, or moments from your past that you now recognize as God planting seeds? 7. What’s a step you can take - even a baby step - to keep showing up in faith today? 8. Who have you allowed to write parts of your story for you, and how can you invite God into that narrative instead? 9. What does it mean for you to be “held by God,” even if you don’t feel finished or figured out? 10. If you were to tell your story honestly today, what title would you give this chapter of your life?
