Here are five discussion questions based on the message script The Refiner's Fire:

1. Personal Fire Experiences: Pastor Mitch mentions learning lessons from fire, both physically and metaphorically. Can you think of a time in your life when you experienced a "fire" (difficult situation) that taught you an important lesson? How did that experience change you?
2. Causing and Experiencing Fire:Pastor discusses the different sources of fires in our lives—our own mistakes, others' actions, or life’s circumstances. How do you typically respond to these different types of "fires"? How can recognizing the source of a fire help in your response?
3. The Refiner’s Process: The message explains the analogy of God refining us, like a silversmith refining silver, to remove impurities. How have you seen God refine areas of your life through trials or challenges? What "impurities" have surfaced for you during difficult times?
4. Leaning In vs. Pulling Away: Pastor Mitch describes the importance of leaning into God during testing times instead of pulling away. Why do you think it is so difficult to stay close to God in the midst of trials? How can we cultivate a mindset that sees trials as opportunities for growth?
5. Reflecting God’s Light: The message uses the example of gold becoming shiny and reflective after being refined. In what ways can your life reflect the light of Jesus more clearly? How can embracing the refining process help you become a better conduit for God’s love and purpose?
