This exercise invites you into God’s one true story, which he tells in the Bible and our lives. Part 1 helps us see the story in the Bible and in our lives. Part 2 helps us remember the story's truths in times of of disbelief and temptation.

The whole Bible tells the one overarching meta-story of God. Each story, command, and passage in the Bible also tell God’s story, over and over in “micro-” ways. Think through some micro stories from the Bible and how they reflect the various parts of the story of God.

Work through the theological concept of “types” by discovering what is true about the original biblical element or character and then learn how Jesus is the true and better version.

In nearly every realm of ministry & mission, it is easy to rely on our ways: our strength, our plans, our strategy. This exercise is designed to help you take a tangible step in fighting that temptation and reversing that trend to dependence on God.

Humans are inherently relational beings: we are not designed to be alone. Biblically and experientially, “discipleship” and “mission” at their best are relational pursuits. In this exercise, define your relationships in your mission and ministry with categorized roles and then prayerfully bring balance to them.

This exercise asks you to define a certain area of your church’s vision, then invites you into an honest assessment of what aspects of your culture promote that area of your vision, vs. what aspects of your culture work against it.
