Band of Brothers: Carentan with Paul McDonald and Juan Velazquez

Coming up on the Men at the Movies podcast, we continue on to Carentan in our Band of Brothers series. At some point in our masculine initiation, fear takes over and we have to respond. We can hide in our foxhole screaming as the world blows up around us. We can numb ourselves to the fear, minimizing it. Fear can make us lose hope as we die to our dreams and purpose. Or we can listen to that still small voice telling us to stand up and start fighting once again. Join us as we discover God’s truth in this story.

Questions

• When have you felt most afraid?
• From a physical standpoint, where do you feel fear? In your head, your chest, your neck, your abdomen? Why do you think your fear exhibits itself in those areas?
• How do you express fear? Do you freeze, fight, or flee?
• What is your core fear? Letting someone down? Not being/doing enough? Making a mistake?
• How has vulnerability and honesty set you free from fears?
• How has your fear been minimized instead of faced?
• How do you try to numb your fears?
• Where do you feel hopeless, like you’re dead already?
• When have you felt like you were cowering in a foxhole?
• How did you stand up and start fighting back?
