Do the sessions need to be taken in a certain order?

No, you do not need to take one session before the other. If you contact us, we can help you choose the session(s) and order that would be most effective for your needs.

Are the sessions designed to train individuals or groups?

Both! Our sessions are designed to be gone through individually and then, if possible, discussed with friends or a small group. Each person should go through the session on their own because their experience will be different based on how they navigate through the scenario, which videos they watch, etc.  They will learn even more if they can discuss what they've learned with others after they are finished.

How could we use a session to train a small group?

Here is a recommended schedule for a small group that would like to go through a session together by investing about one hour each week:

• Week 1: Each individual in the group goes through Section A on their own
• Week 2: They discuss what they learned in Section A
• Week 3: Each individual in the group goes through Section B on their own
• Week 4: They discuss what they learned in Section B
• Week 5: Each individual in the group goes through Section C on their own
• Week 6: They discuss what they learned in Section C
• Week 7: They discuss how to apply Sections A, B, and C in their life and ministry

Do you provide resources and discussion questions for small groups?

Yes. The My Notes and Training Points documents included at the beginning and end of each section provide excellent material for small group discussions.

Could one of your trainers facilitate our discussion?

Possibly. If you are interested in one of our team members facilitating a training or discussion about the session please click here to request an on-site training quote.
