Tools and Practices to Do the Will of God Together: The Companion Guide to Leading a Transforming Community

For pastors, leaders, and anyone longing to experience deeper levels of transformation in their life with others, this six-session study guide is the essential companion to Ruth Haley Barton's seminal book Leading a Transforming Community.

This guide provides the practical framework for individuals and groups to apply the book's teachings, helping you cultivate a community where transformation is the norm and not the exception. It is designed to help your group process and apply the vision and practices for becoming a community that gathers around the presence of Christ.

This study guide will equip you and your group with

• Six sessions for personal reflection, group conversation, and next steps;
• Thought-provoking questions to foster discussion and application of the book's core concepts;
• Liturgical prayers and group practices to help you experience God together and orient your community toward deeper spiritual formation; and
• Practical guidance for establishing or developing your own transforming community, turning vision into reality.

When your group uses the Leading a Transforming Community Study Guide alongside Leading a Transforming Community, you can learn to discern and do the will of God together, creating a vibrant community of spiritual transformation that empowers others to do the same.
