Sharing Your Story- Downloadable Exercise

A helpful “first step” to take in getting to know others more deeply is intentionally learning each other’s stories. This is true whether you have walked with people for a long while or whether you just formed a new group. Knowing each other adds a level of comfort, and gives each other a sense of permission to speak honestly with each other as your group starts pursuing relational depth together. A strong foundation for knownness is hearing each other share their stories, listening for their hearts and God’s work, and responding with good questions, care, celebration, and prayer.
