A simple rhythm for each gathering
5 min · Welcome and check in / 10 min · Read and reflect / 20 min · Discuss / 10 min · Choose a next step and pray
Read the passage together. Invite honest conversation, leave room for different perspectives, and let anyone pass on a question. Adapt the pace and language for your group.
GATHERING 1 · 45–60 MINUTES
Courage under new responsibility
Read Joshua 1:1–9 CSBJoshua receives responsibility before he has a map of every outcome. God’s promise of presence gives his courage a foundation. Our situations are different, but we too can seek faithfulness without pretending we are fearless.
Talk it through
- What did you notice in the passage? How does it connect with a theme that stood out to you in the movie?
- How is courage different from confidence in our own ability?
- What helps us recognize a wise next step when we feel afraid?
Name the responsibility in prayer and choose one wise next step.
Close in prayer
God, help me remember your presence when I feel inadequate. Invite anyone who wishes to share a prayer request; passing is always welcome.
GATHERING 2 · 45–60 MINUTES
Remembering together
Read Joshua 4:1–7 CSBThe stones from the Jordan were a way to remember and retell what God had done. We also need reminders when the next uncertain season arrives. Gratitude can strengthen trust without promising an easy road.
Talk it through
- What did you notice in the passage? How does it connect with a theme that stood out to you in the movie?

GATHERING 3 · 45–60 MINUTES

- What did you notice in the passage? How does it connect with a theme that stood out to you in the movie?

GATHERING 4 · 45–60 MINUTES
