Do I need to read or purchase the book to attend?

Not at all! While the conversation follows themes from Carolyn’s devotional series, you do not need to read or purchase the book to participate. This space is open to everyone.

Is this a Bible study or religious class?

This is not a traditional Bible study. It’s a reflective, faith-based gathering that encourages personal growth, intentional living, and spiritual connection, grounded in scripture.

Who is this class best suited for?

This class is designed for adults and older teens (ages 16+) who are looking for encouragement, clarity, and meaningful conversation about faith, personal growth, and purpose.

Should I bring anything with me?

Something to write with and a journal or notebook is encouraged for personal reflection. We’ll provide handouts with space for you to write, but bringing your own journal is a great way to continue the journey at home.

Will I need to speak or share out loud?

Not unless you want to! Participation is always voluntary. You’re welcome to simply listen, and reflect.
