The 45-minute Group Field Guide lets a group settle in, take their time, and explore the theme with depth. It gives room for Scripture, thoughtful discussion, reflection, and a shared action step — all at a steady, unhurried pace.
This isn’t about talking more; it’s about digging deeper. Forty-five minutes. One conversation. One united step. Real community that strengthens men and helps them grow together.

Warm but purposeful.
Prompt:

Pick one deeper question.
