Decision Point 2: What's Holding You Back?
When a teen misses a session of High School Faith Formation (Confirmation), the Concord Carlisle Catholic Collaborative expects that teen to view the video(s) missed and complete this simple online form.

The videos for this session are found Dynamic Catholic's website, or you may download the app (for free), which has all the videos.

Session 2 is titled "What's Holding You Back". Watching all the videos will take about 22 minutes, and answering the questions may take 15 minutes. Keep in mind that the quality of your response will help Tony and his Faith Formation Leaders determine if you actually viewed the videos (which we think are quite good)!

Overview - Confirmation Preparation
Confirmation IS NOT a type of graduation. While an important point in your journey of faith, it is not an end, and may be for some, the beginning.

Decision Point is meant to inform you about life and faith, to inform your journey of faith, in particular your preparation to receive God's grace in the sacrament of Confirmation.

This is Personal
What did the story about the rattlesnake make you think?
What does the rattlesnake represent for you? Who or what is holding you back? What is it that, sooner or later, is going to turn on you and strike you down? How would your life be better if you could walk away from that rattlesnake?
If you had more courage, what good thing would you do?
Decision Point
If God called you to a great mission like he did Gideon, do you think you would say yes? Why? Why not?
Like the ancient Israelites, we have all: gone looking for happiness in the wrong places, fallen into stinking thinking, turned our backs on the truth, and been too proud to admit our wrongdoing. When was the last time you acted like the ancient Israelites?

What (disordered) attachments in life are holding you back from being the person God created you to be?
Closing Prayer
