- Have the Bible Background Video ready to view.
- Review today’s scripture text and the session activities to help better facilitate the discussion.
- Encourage your group to listen to the Faithelement podcast ahead of the next session (Share the link via email or social media).
- Read through Zephaniah 3:14-20 to be familiar with the passage. If you have time, you may want to read through the Book of Zephaniah to understand the context to which Nikki refers in her video.
