The 45-minute One-on-One Field Guide allows two men to slow down and go deeper. It creates room for thoughtful conversation, Scripture engagement, reflection, and a steady, unhurried pace that helps both men listen well and respond well.
This isn’t about filling the time; it’s about giving God room to work. Forty-five minutes. One conversation. One clear step. Real sharpening that strengthens a man from the inside out.
1. Connect + Settle In (5 minutes)
Not small talk—purposeful settling.
Prompts:
- “Good to see you—how’s your week been?”
- “Anything weighing on you today?”
One minute each, max.
Purpose: Build trust and shift from daily noise to intentional time.
2. Open Prayer (2 minutes)
Short, steady, directional.
Prayer:
“Lord, give us clarity, honesty, and courage today. Lead this time.”
Purpose: Center the meeting on God’s presence and guidance.
3. Review the Devotional (6–7 minutes)
Each man highlights one takeaway.
Prompts:
- “What truth stood out most?”
- “What idea kept coming back to you?”
Purpose: Start with what God has already been stirring.
4. Discuss the Theme (7–8 minutes)
Choose one theme-driven question.
Examples:
- Identity: “What shapes a man’s identity?”
- Pressure: “Why do men carry burdens alone?”
- Character: “What weakens a man over time?”
- Discipline: “What happens when habits slip?”
- Calling: “What gets in the way of obedience?”
Purpose: Let the theme expose truth, patterns, and blind spots.
5. Engage the Scripture (6–7 minutes)
Read the verse twice.
Ask:
- “What does this reveal about God?”
- “What does it ask of a man?”
- “What correction or encouragement is here?”
Purpose: Make Scripture the authority in the room.
6. The Iron-Sharpening Moment (8–10 minutes)
Honest dialogue that sharpens.
Ask:
- “Where do men drift on this issue?”
- “What does maturity look like here?”
- “What gets in the way?”
- “What changes if a man lives this out?”
Purpose: Growth requires friction — not shame, but sharpening.
7. Choose a Weekly Action Step (4 minutes)
One clear, doable step.
Examples:
- A verse to memorize
- A habit to practice
- A conversation to initiate
- A temptation to avoid
Purpose: Truth becomes transformation through action.
8. Pray Together (3 minutes)
Focused and united.
Prayer:
“Lord, strengthen us. Help us put this into practice.”
Purpose: End with dependence on God.
9. Confirm Next Meeting + Encouragement (1 minute)
“Same time next week?”
“I appreciate walking this out together.”
Purpose: Consistency builds discipleship.
Total Time: 45 Minutes
A full, Scripture-driven one-on-one that never feels rushed or overbuilt.
