A study that walks at the speed of a real group.
Your people read the short entries during the week. You gather around a write-in workbook. The leader's guide sits in your hand, not on a shelf. Each study runs 6-7 weeks.
Three moving parts, and two of them are free.
Between meetings
Everyone reads short entries in the workbook, trade book, or on Substack. Short daily entries on the same passage, diving deep on each verse.
In the room
Each member writes in their own workbook — the same passages, room to respond, and questions that open a conversation instead of closing one.
In your hands
One leader's guide per act equips you to host transformation rather than manufacture it. No kit to buy, no video to preview, no late-night prep.
Formation over information.
The Act One Guide
From Suspicion to Trust and the Invitation to Become a Disciple
One guide covers all four books of Act One — Mark 1:1 through 6:13. It is written for the leader who wants to guide others without falling back on control or pat answers, and for the group living in the perpetual act two of real life.
Four studies, in order or on their own.
Every book comes in two editions: a trade devotional to read alone and a workbook to write in together.
For the group going through the motions. It wipes the slate and reintroduces a God who is already near.
For the one who took the first steps and felt doubt creep in. Doubt becomes the road, not the roadblock.
For the one wondering what following actually means. It trades willpower for apprenticeship.
For the one growing but unsure of the point. Calling stops being a special assignment for special people.
Every member gets their own copy.
People remember what they write down by hand. Enter the quantity at checkout — the discount applies in the cart.
Make it your discipleship path.
Some churches run one group and see what happens. Some preach the series first. Some invite every group to study the same book at once. Bring us your calendar and we will help you shape the year.
