What it is about
Killing Kryptonite is John Bevere's case that a lot of us live like Superman without his cape, weakened by things that were never meant to have power over us because somewhere along the way we stopped believing what God actually says and started just agreeing with it in our heads. This guide splits the book into six roughly even sections. Read the assigned pages before the call, then use these notes to get the conversation past small talk and into where each man is actually living.

Talk it through
- What's the one thing that reliably takes the fight out of you, even when you know better?
- Where do you catch yourself agreeing with a truth about God but living like it isn't true?
- Where does your faith still feel like it's about earning rather than belonging?
- Do you lean more toward using grace as an excuse or truth as a whip? Be honest.
- What's something you still feel shame about that God has already dealt with?
- What's actually different in you now compared to six weeks ago, even if it's small?
- Where do you notice a gap between what you believe in your head and how you actually act under pressure?
