How Every Study Is Structured
Every study follows the same format. Once a volunteer learns it, they can lead any study in the series without additional training.
Each Session Includes
- Opening Question (5–8 min) — Connects everyday life to the session theme. No Bible knowledge required to answer it.
- Scripture Focus — A summary of the key passage so the leader can use whatever translation their group prefers.
- Big Idea — One sentence that captures what the session is about.
- Discussion Questions (25–30 min) — Questions that move from observation to interpretation to personal application.
- Application Challenge — One specific thing each person will do differently this week.
- Closing Prayer — Pray for each other’s application challenges by name.
