This Leader Session Guide contains all the content from the God's Extraordinary Church Learner Session Guide, plus these unique elements, designed to help leaders prepare to engage participants in conversation:

• Before You Begin: Helpful tips to use as you prepare to lead the session.
• Session Overview: Detailed description of key themes and content covered in each of the four contexts (Historical, Literary, Lutheran, Devotional). Highlighted parts of the Session Overview provide a kind of "quick prep" for those wanting to do an initial scan of the key session themes and content.
• Key Definitions: Key terms or concepts that appear in the Session Overview.
• Facilitator's Prayer: Helps the leader center on the session theme and leadership task
• Bonus Activities: Optional activities included in each of the four sections of "Join the Conversation". These can be used by the leader to expand the core session.
• Tips: Helpful hints, instructions, or background content to help you lead.
• Looking Ahead: Reminders about preparation for the next session.

This is a 6-session study.
