You have been created\u00a0to discover and live your calling with others. God does not intend our journey through life to be a solo adventure. There is power in partnerships! Therefore, we encourage you to go through the\u00a0Live Your Calling\u00a0book with a partner or small group. A group of 6-8 people is an optimal size for a\u00a0Live Your Calling\u00a0Group. The suggested length of time is 12 weeks, although a group can meet for a shorter or longer period of time.<\/p>\n
Live Your Calling\u00a0includes a detailed small group guide (see Appendix A of the book) that outlines each group session, so all you have to do is find one or more people who are interested in joining you in this exciting journey!
