Workbook page: p.
No reflection excerpt configured.
Suggested read-aloud excerpts
- Primary chapter audio excerpt — Invite participants to name the kinds of support they can offer or receive.
Related scriptural passages
- 2 Samuel 15:13-29 — Friends accompany David as he leaves Jerusalem.
- 2 Samuel 19:1-8 — Joab challenges David to return to his responsibilities.
Discussion starter:
- Which people have stayed present for you when you had little to offer in return?
- When someone you care about is grieving, what kind of help can you realistically provide?
- How can a friend tell when encouragement is needed and when listening is better?
Suggested facilitation flow: check-in question, read the excerpt together, let discussion linger on one response, invite group prayer, and assign one application action for the week.
