Wooster Naz Podcast: Children Christmas Worship [Pastor Cindi and Pastor Nate]

Group Discussion Guide — Conversation with Pastor Cindi Deep Discussion Questions

1. Responding to God’s Call Pastor Cindi shared how her call to ministry developed over time — through every small yes, gradual clarity, and moments where God met her unexpectedly. How has God stirred or nudged your heart in certain seasons? What helps you recognize when something is actually a call from God and not just a good idea?

2. The Courage of a “Yes” Pastor Cindi described moments when saying yes to God required courage, trust, and stepping into the unknown. When have you sensed God asking you to take a risk for Him? What fear or barrier tends to hold you back from saying yes?

3. Formation in the “Hidden” Seasons She talked about how God forms us in quiet, unseen seasons long before anything becomes public or visible — similar to Mary’s hidden years and preparation. What “hidden” season are you in right now, or have you recently walked through? What do you sense God shaping in you during that time?

4. Calling Through Different Life Stages Pastor Cindi reflected on how her calling has shifted and deepened as she has grown — not diminished. How has your sense of purpose changed as you’ve walked through different seasons of life? Where might God be expanding or redirecting your calling right now?

5. The Blessing Season She highlighted this time not as “Advent season” but a Blessing Season — a time to watch for God’s activity and participate in it. Where have you recently noticed God at work around you? How could you intentionally join Him in bringing blessing to others this week?

Bonus Questions

1. Ministry Overflowing From Real Life Pastor Cindi shared that ministry isn’t a role first — it’s who you become as Jesus forms you. Where is God inviting you to minister out of your actual life right now (your family, workplace, neighborhood)?

2. Looking Back to Look Forward As Pastor Cindi compared her early journey to where she is now, she noted how God’s faithfulness threads through every stage. When you look back, where do you clearly see God’s hand guiding your path? How does that memory strengthen your faith for what’s ahead?
