Check‑ins that encourage, not embarrass.
TL;DR
- Agree on a clear, small habit.
- Check in at the same time.
- Pray, not pry.
Scripture to stand on
- Hebrews 10:24-25: Stir one another to love and good works.
- Galatians 6:2: Bear one another’s burdens.
A simple plan
-
Pick one habit and metric
Like a shared checklist: ‘Read one Psalm daily’ (yes/no).
-
Set two check‑in times
E.g., Wed 7pm + Sat 9am, via hub message or quick call.
-
Agree on language
No shaming. Use ‘How can I help?’ and prayer, not interrogation.
-
Review weekly
What worked? Where did you get stuck? Adjust the habit if needed.
Try this now
- Create a hub and add a simple check‑in schedule.
- Start a shared challenge for your habit.
If this is your week…
Two short check‑ins this week. Keep the habit small and specific.
When it’s hard
If someone misses, assume complexity, not laziness. Pray and plan the next small step.
FAQs
- What if someone dominates?
- Use time boxes. Each gets 3 minutes; end with prayer for both.
- Do we need more rules?
- No. Keep it simple: habit, check‑ins, prayer, review.
