Meditation on Narrative Passages is a tool for seekers and followers of Jesus to use in a small group setting in order to come to know Jesus in a deeper and more intimate way. This is the Leader's manual for volume 1 of 6 volumes in this series. It contains 16 sessions with expanded instructions for the leader/facilitator of the group. Each session focuses on an event in the life of Jesus or the disciples and needs approximately an hour to complete effectively. Group size may vary but sessions are most effective with between three and twelve participants. This tool is very flexible and has been used in many different applications and venues. It combines a non-threatening format that does not require a Biblical background, with the freedom of seeing the event from the perspective of the differing spiritual gifts and backgrounds of each participant. Once participants become comfortable in the safe environment the group creates, sessions become incredibly fun and at the same time highly inspirational. The author has used this tool effectively for over thirty years and determined it's time to share it with you
The authors examined the friction between the U.S. Army's People First objectives (which focus on command climate, cohesive teams, career goals, and work-life balance) and Regionally Aligned Readiness and Modernization Model objectives (which focus on mission readiness) and developed strategies to mitigate this friction.
This is the second volume of sixteen lessons in the series Meditating on Narrative Passages. Each lesson is designed to help seekers and disciples of Jesus come to know Him in a deeper and more intimate way. Each lesson focuses on an event in the life of Jesus. As individuals meditate through the passage, time is given for group sharing that quickly becomes insightful and just plain fun. Sharing focuses on the stories' setting and characters, giving room for participants to fill in details of the story from their perspective. Later, time is given for sharing what it is about Jesus or the story that is liked or disliked and why participants might want to trust and follow Jesus. It's interesting how different Spiritual gifts give participants differing perspectives on each story. This inevitably leads to insights that might be missed when reading the passage alone Meditation is a powerful tool available for our spiritual formation. This is a simple but profoundly useful tool to help you on your Journey. We serve a Worthy King
