BOLD: UNLEASH YOUR FAITH WEEK 1: PLOW BURNING FAITH STUDY GUIDE
Key Scripture: 1 Kings 19:19-21
Key Principles:
- You don’t have to understand fully to obey completely.

• Describe a time when you obeyed God even though you didn’t fully understand his direction. What resulted from your obedience?
• What security do you need to step away from that will allow you to step toward your destiny?
• What is God asking you to do that you need to obey immediately?

• How would you describe your level of trust in God? What might be keeping you from fully trusting in him?
