In Skool, there's the community homepage, classrooms, calendar, and members. You'll be going back and forth between the Classroom (Step 1) and the Community Homepage (Step 2). Below is a description of each conversation thread. After you're done reading below comment in one of the conversations, or head to the classroom and checkout how to start the 5-Day Challenge. Discussion Categories Explained Introductions: Tell people who you are and where you're at in life. Be honest. This is a place to do so and be met with, "I get it." Prompts to get you talkin': 1. Who are you? (Describe your season of life right now in three words.) Feel free to elaborate too! 2. Why are you choosing to experiment with faith NOW? 3. What is one thing you’re afraid of when thinking about your next step of faith? 4. What is one thing you’re hoping for from this community? 5-Day Challenge: THIS IS WHERE TO COMMIT IF YOU JUST JOINED THE EXPERIMENT. Engage with people who are going through the challenge at the same time. Share your encounter with Jesus or how the questions affected you. After the daily prayer practice, post your response here. Reach out for personal support from me with what your experience brings up. Learn more about the challenge by going to The 5-Day Challenge Classroom. Thoughtful Questions: Each day, a new question will be posted here — an open space to think deeply, respond honestly, and grow in both self-awareness and God-awareness. These questions are meant to start conversations, not finish them. Share what’s stirring in you, read what’s stirring in others, and notice how God meets you in the middle of it all. Your Story Matters: Sometimes the only way to move forward is to start by looking where you've been. You do this by identifying your story. Becoming aware of your experiences or preconceived expectations and then sharing it. It's when you share your story that you enter into being seen, being known --- all things that allow you to pursue healing and deeper faith in the person of Jesus, and in yourself.

Through the first prayer guide, what did you experience (fear, excitement, hesitancy etc) when invited to sit at the table with The Sovereign One and know you’re not alone?

Sometimes, it’s easy to think that there’s supposed to be a major memory or moment to work through. Some of us still go back to experiences that happened decades ago. But God is active today, and in the last 24 hours. And the things that seem insignificant to us, but take effect all the more on our hearts or subconscious, are things he desires to meet us in, talk about, and hear from us. Ultimate Hod is willing to shed light on what we are willing to discover has been in the dark. What memory did God invite you to look at with him?

To start the Challenge, go to the Classroom and look up the 7-Day Faith Challenge. This has some inro videos, 5 prayer practices and 5 questions. I created these for practicing listening, slowing down, and using prayer to hear God's voice, as opposed to the normal prayer requests format. We'll be having a live call at the end of the month to discuss the experience you had through it, and until then, I'll be posting questions for discussion based off of the 7-Day challenge. As you do each guided practice, post here that you did it!

Hello!! For the amazing few that are a part of The Faith Experiment thus far, thank you! Thank you for your patience and grace as I figure out what’s next. I’d like to run a 7-day challenge together in the month of January. I trust each of your thoughts and insight and need some feedback on the daily prayer meditation and questions. Since we’re all in different time zones, we can keep the discussion, feedback and experience of it to this thread (and hopefully have one zoom call at the end of it together). Would you respond on this thread with your available dates and time (meaning afternoon, or evening), and timezone, for one call, probably no more than an hour.
