Jordan's facilitator playbook
Session 4: Story
In the moment- Create a careful room where people can name formation without being pushed into exposure.
- Help participants see triumphs, wounds, culture, family, work, and church as formation material.
- Keep the shared Circle record focused on themes, questions, and learning, not private details.
Prepare next- Preview Desire as the place where burden, motivation, and longing become clearer.
- Ask participants to notice what consistently moves their heart.
- Prepare a follow-up note that honors Story without summarizing anyone's personal pain.
Email queue- Story recap with a gentle follow-up reflection.
- Desire preview: what moves you and what burdens you.
- Care note reminding participants they control what they share.
