Session 5: Existence
First 24 hours after the Session:
- Respond to all requests for joining a local small group. Plan to start the group in the next 1-2 weeks and poll for the best day and time of the week for your group to get together. Then make it happen!
Since this final session’s call to action specifically asks if the guest wants to learn more about “God’s character”, we recommend using the free video series from Loma Linda’s The Bible Lab: “God.0 Sessions” (Hosted by Roy!) so your guests can continue their spiritual journey with a friendly face they already know and trust.
There are free downloadable study guides for this series as well, making this a perfect small group option. This type of video study session is a natural next step for your guests who may be struggling with understanding who God really is or wanting to dig deeper into their faith.
- There isn’t a specific call to action for prayer, however, prayer is always offered during each session, so be sure to respond to these requests too.
Bible Lab God.0
The Bible Lab put together six video conversations centered on God's character. These Bible Lab episodes will move your guests and inspire them to continue their spiritual journey. There are also six dedicated study guides for this series as well, making this a perfect small group option.
2-3 Months after the Session:
Offering a small group shortly after the Indestructible series will help your connection with your guests continue to grow or give you another reason to contact them if you haven’t heard from them in a while. Here are some suggested Small Group Resources.

Have You Ever Been Lost?
Carefully written with a non-Adventist audience in mind, the author draws heavily from Luke 15, the Desire of Ages, and current stories. This is an easy book to read, but one with a powerful message. In the Bible we find hope for the wanderer, hope for the restless soul who is looking for something more. Assurance can be found even in a world of so much uncertainty.
