Chapter 18 · Section Four, Stage 2: Problem
The People Problem
Start crossing. The team will form around the movement.
The question this chapter asks
Whose reaction are you most afraid of?
Practice
20 minutes
People audit
Two lists: who supports this crossing, and who resists it. Add one line each on why, and what you will do about it. Choose one person from the second list and decide when you will talk with them.
For the group
Who in your life loves you the way you were, and is that love helping you cross or keeping you from crossing? You don't have to name them. Just say the relationship.
For the leader
This is a sensitive week. No one should feel pressured to name a spouse or parent. "A family member" or "a close friend" is specific enough.
If your group prays together
Even though I walk through the darkest valley, I will fear no evil, for you are with me.
