Many people try to tackle their spiritual journey alone, but we know community makes all the difference. That’s why we created our Small Group Discussion Guide - to help churches, families, and friends dive deeper into the Bible’s big story together.

This 12-week guide, easily customized into a 30-week discussion, takes the six acts of the Bible and breaks them into smaller, digestible pieces. It’s designed to spark conversations, deepen understanding, and connect your congregation to God’s story and to one another.
