Chapter 10 · Section Three, Stage 1: Promise
Seeing What Could Be
You don't need the full plan. You need the yes.
The question this chapter asks
What can you see that you cannot yet have?
Practice
10 minutes
The smallest yes
Somewhere this week there is a small yes you could give without knowing the plan. Write the smallest one, then say when you will give it. Put the day on your calendar before you close the notebook.
For the group
What interruption have you been resisting? Say it out loud. Then the group asks: "What if that interruption is the invitation?"
For the leader
The group's job this week is to reframe, not advise. "What if" is the only question they need.
If your group prays together
Now faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see.
