Weekly gatherings

You were never meant to read alone.

A gathering isn't a program or a class. It's the handful of people you tell the truth to once a week — and it is where reading turns into discipleship.

Finding a gathering

Group discovery lives in the app.

The app shows gatherings near you on a map, with what they're reading, when they meet, and how to ask to join. We haven't brought that to the website yet — so for now, the app is where you look.

It isn't in the stores yet either. Pre-order the book and you're in the first group of testers, which gets you in early.

The shape of it

Small, weekly, and nothing to prepare.

Meet weekly
One hour is plenty. Same day, same people, so nobody has to negotiate it every week.
Two to twelve
Small enough that everyone actually speaks. Past twelve, split and start a second one.
Anywhere
A kitchen, a break room, a dorm, a video call. The room has never been the point.
No curriculum
You already have the text and your own takeaways. There is nothing to buy or prepare.

The hour

What actually happens.

  1. First few minutes Catch up. Ask how the week actually went, not how it's supposed to sound.
  2. The bulk of it Go around. Each person reads out their takeaways from the week's two chapters.
  3. As you go Ask about each other's. “Why did that one land?” is the whole discussion guide.
  4. Last few minutes Pray for each other, and say what next week's chapters are.
