The Seven Committments
- Respect the clock: Do your best to share within 15-20 minutes.
- Challenge by choice: You have permission to skip a question at any time.
- No cross-talk: Don’t give advice or interrupt.
- One Counselor (come Holy Spirit): Listen and pay attention to how the Holy Spirit might prompt you to pray.
- Comfort with empathy: Hold space for others with open hearts. Rather than offering pity or sympathy, show up and tune in- bless, encourage, and build up.
- Community of grace: When someone confesses sin, pardon by saying, “In the name of Jesus Christ you are forgiven.” If someone shares a secret, thank them for their courage and never judge.
- Strictly confidential: Never share another person’s comments outside of the group.
