As we discuss a heavy message about pain and loss, make sure to give lots of time for discussing the application questions and for prayer time.
Many people in group will be struggling with pain and loss and difficult relationships and could use encouragement, support, and prayers.
If someone is struggling heavily, this is a great opportunity to apply the message and get together with them outside of group to listen more and be present with them in their pain.
Consider organizing prayer partners for the week and encourage connecting outside of your weekly meeting for prayer and conversation.
