Leah and Rachel

- What does Rachel want? What does Leah want?
- What are they willing to do to get these things? What does this tell you about people?
- How does their scheming affect the sisters’ relationship? Maidservants? Jacob? Their children?
- What can cause disunity among other female teammates? How does this affect how you play both as an individual and as a team?

- As a teammate, how do you react when someone who plays your same position does well?
- What are some differences between Mary and Elizabeth? Could these things be points of contention between the two?

- Our relationship with Christ, or lack thereof, affects our relationship with others.
