Reflection questions for further engagement:
-Who are the uninvited guests in your story?
-What could shift for you if you could imagine standing in the back of the theater with God and becoming open and curious about His bigger narrative in your empty or painful places?
-What might it look like to become hospitable to your uninvited guests? What if they bring you wisdom?
