 Suggestion for use

  1. Show the first part of the programme - then freeze frame on the question "Think of a time when you had to change your mind - what did you learn from that?"
  2. Invite people to share their answers with one another
  3. Invite feedback, and discuss what our answers tell us about:
    • our view of certainty - how confident can we be about our view of the world?
    • our view of authority - how do we decide who and what to trust?
    • our view of change - how do we feel about admitting we might be wrong and being prepared to change our minds?
  4. Show the rest of the programme
  5. Deliver a short talk lifting off from the suggestion to look at Paul's words in 2 Cor 5:17 about change - illustrating with contemporary quotes about change and repentance (N.B. these links into the large collection of relevant Bible references and contemporary quotes are free to anyone with a subscription to Tools for Talks - non-subscribers can obtain immediate access with a 1 year or 30 day subscription).
