The point of this next conversation is to push deeper than the first, and begin to clarify what God might be saying.

Remember, the ultimate goal is not to affirm your own point of view or get wisdom from your friend. The goal is to learn to hear God in the conversation.

With that in mind, use the following outline for your conversation: 

Spend time in prayer together, focusing on inviting the Holy Spirit to lead your conversation with each other. 

Re-read Psalm 139 out loud in the 1st person. Psalm 139 reminds us that God knows everything about us and that He desires to lead us. Praying this Psalm sets up your conversation with the proper perspective. 

Set a time limit for this second conversation that is acceptable to both you and your friend.

Ask your friend/mentor the questions you have prepared for this conversation.

Ask your friend/mentor to share anything that came to their mind as they prayed for you since you last met.

End with a time of prayer and a commitment to seek God’s voice as you continue this journey of 21 days.

Set a time for your next connections.

An ideal rhythm might be to “check in” via text message, before meeting in person each week.
