"Sticky Family Stuff and God's Glue" by Cody Zabroski and Carol Duerksen
YOUTH GROUP LESSON 92
Discuss:
1 In this clip we see how different family members can have different views and perspectives on things. One person views incidents in the world as just chance and not having meaning, while the other is a “miracle man.” How can different views affect family dynamics?
2 What does it mean to stay by a family member even if you don’t have the same views? What do you do if one family member pushes his/her view onto you?

Show clip #2: “The Invasion” chapter 15 [1:06-1:09:17]
The family is watching T.V. and the news show is broadcasting that there will be an invasion within the hour. Merrill figures out that the “invaders” will be within a mile of their house. Morgan makes the statement to Merrill “I wish you were my dad.”
Discuss:
1 We see the family under a lot of stress both from one another and the external events that are happening in their world. How do you think the family feels right now?
2 Why do you think Graham just leaves and says “I’m going to finish the boards?”
3 How does Morgan feel at this time? Why do you think he makes the statement to Merrill “I wish you were my dad”?
4 How do you think families should react and deal with statements like that? How can that make or break a family?

Show Clip # 3: “The Last Supper” [1:10:37-1:12:39]
The family is eating their supper, and Morgan wants to say a prayer, but Graham gets mad and doesn’t want to waste time on prayer. Bo starts crying and Graham gets frustrated with her and yells at her. Morgan then says “I hate you” to his father. Then after some crying, Morgan gives his dad a hug to show that he forgives him. The whole family gets in the hug and they are finally whole.
