PRACTICE

To get started, work through the questions below:

  • How has participating in Gatherings shaped/benefitted you?

  • Look at the calendar in the last two months. How many Gatherings did you attend? What were the reasons you missed them? What does your Gathering participation reveal about you?

  • Gatherings shape our story. Culture’s story says, “I’m in charge, this world is all there is, so I’ll do what I want.” God’s story says, “God’s in charge, there’s more to this world than this, so it’s not about me.”

  • Which part of culture’s story is the most shaping for you?

  • What are some practical next steps you can take this week to grow in participating at Gatherings?
