Using these resources with someone else, will give you the opportunity to talk through what you’re learning; providing accountability and challenging you to put it into practice. You’ll also be able to pray together and share ideas.
So, here are some important things to agree with your partner before starting:
⭐️ Over what timeframe do you want to work through the material?
⭐️ How frequently do you want to discuss the resource together?
⭐️ What format would you like to share with each other - in person, zoom, messages, or maybe a combination?
Make sure you agree on these things before you start. Expectations are important for this to work. If you start a book wanting to finish it in a week, but your partner expects it to take six months, then this may present some issues.
Here are some questions you could consider together:
⭐️ What’s God been saying to you through the material?
⭐️ What’s your takeaway to meditate on, or share with others around you?
⭐️ How has this affected your understanding about who God is?
⭐️ How has this challenged you about changes to your walk with Jesus?
⭐️ Do you have any concerns about anything that you read or watched?
⭐️ What questions have come up, which you’d like to explore further?
⭐️ Are there any bible studies you want to do from this?
Working through these questions together, can really help you sharpen each other in the things of God.
