This section of the training should take between 15-20 minutes to complete.
This is the last part of your group meeting when you ask everyone, “What is one thing you will take away from what we discussed today?” and “How can we pray for one another?” This typically takes the last 15-30 minutes of your group time.
COMPONENTS:
Application is discussing how to apply what was covered during your group time and how God may be at work in other areas of a group member’s life.
Prayer is an opportunity to pray for one another individually. Not everyone has to share, but we ask that you try to keep requests focused on personal needs and/or content from the session (not open-ended). This creates intentionality around the requests and ensures that the group stays focused on building community.
