As we create spaces of vulnerability, confession is practical discipline to grow in repentance and experiencing the grace of God.

Main Session: A Confessional Life

Possible Discussion Questions:

  3. How can leaders preliminary build trust with the groups in ways other than confession, prior to sharing life stories?
