Small Group Discussion Guide
A weekly rhythm for discussion, reflection, prayer, and accountability as your group walks through the 60-day journey together.
Core conviction
This journey is not about perfection. It is about formation.
The purpose of the group is to create a space where people can be honest before God, encouraged by others, strengthened through Scripture, and challenged to keep becoming more like Christ.
