This daily devotional journal is intentionally designed to lead to discussion in a weekly small group gathering with others you invite to take this journey with you. As a matter of fact, start praying now for the Holy Spirit to lead you to 3 people that are in the places and spaces where you do life (at home, work, school, church, neighbor, etc.) to take this journey with you. The conversation you will have each week will be based on the journal entries you all would have already written down during the week. Here’s what a sample weekly gathering and discussion questions would look like:
7:00pm - Refreshments & Life Conversation
7:10pm - Prayer For Needs
7:15pm - Discuss Devotional Journal Entries
