What are study plans and how to use them? These study plans are designed to help facilitate small group discussions or for you as an individual. The goal is to first choose your pace of reading GO & TELL. Let’s say you or your small group wants to go through the book in 8 sessions. Each session could be a week. Below, go to the “8 SESSIONS” study guide. Each week, you will read the corresponding chapters from the 8 Session Study Guide and go through the questions in the GO & TELL Companion Workbook alone.
When you gather as a small group, together you will start off by watching the corresponding videos in the video section of the website. (Note: If you are going through the sessions alone and not part of a small group, you can watch the video after reading each chapter.) After watching the video, discuss your completed questions in the Companion Workbook together that corresponds with the chapter video. Pray for the Holy Spirit to give you wisdom, passion and courage to share the Good News to those in your Cosmos. Watch as God uses you to impact eternity!
SESSION/WEEK 1 – CHAPTERS 1, 5-11
SESSION/WEEK 2 – CHAPTERS 2, 12-15
SESSION/WEEK 3 – CHAPTERS 3, 16-20
SESSION/WEEK 4 – CHAPTERS 4, 21-23
Use this study guide if you have an intensive small group with few sessions/weeks but still want to read through the book. The goal would be to read the first chapter before the comma in each session and then choose an additional chapter from the remaining chapters to go through in your group or alone. Read all the chapters if possible.
SESSION/WEEK 1 – CHAPTERS 1-3
SESSION/WEEK 2 – CHAPTERS 4-7
SESSION/WEEK 3 – CHAPTERS 8-11
SESSION/WEEK 4 – CHAPTERS 12-15
SESSION/WEEK 5 – CHAPTERS 16-19
SESSION/WEEK 6 – CHAPTERS 20-23
This study guide is designed for a semi-intensive small group who also wants to go through the book chronologically. The book is full of historical stories that progress through each century, building on the centuries prior. The goal would be to go over 1-2 of your favorite chapters in your small group but read all chapters and answer the corresponding questions in the Go & Tell Companion workbook before coming together to discuss.

This study guide is an average pace of most small groups. It allows you to have time to go through each of the videos in your group with the most chapters you’ll read, watch and discuss per week is 3. The goal would be to attempt to watch and discuss all chapters per session but give you room to leave one or two out if needed.
