  • Start with a prayer. 
  • Read the Bible text aloud.
  • Exchange ideas about the Bible text. Each person focuses on only one of the following perspectives at a time:
    • Facts and Information that is in the text.
    • Emotions it elicits.
    • Everything negative about the text that stands out.
    • Anything positive about the text that stands out.
    • All ideas and impulsesfor action that come from the text.
    • One moderates the conversation.
  • Once you've kept the perspectives going for a while, you can switch roles.
  • In conclusion, tell God what moves you.
