Sanctification Nights
Find the one thing you have been avoiding, and do a piece of it before the night ends.
Why
A lot of people don't actually know what they struggle with or what they already fear.
So nobody is asked what they struggle with. Nobody is told what their fear is. Nobody is handed a challenge they did not choose. The night finds the avoided thing for you, and the only way to lose is to take no step. The step can be as small as you need. Shrinking it out loud is allowed, and we clap for it.
How a night works
Prayer, then silence
I open with a prayer everyone knows and a short examination of conscience. Three questions, three minutes of silence, and you write one line on a card: something that you tend to avoid.
One challenge, your pick
A small random group hears your line and proposes two or three ways to do a piece of it tonight. You pick one, or shrink it. Nobody is ever assigned a challenge.
Everyone does it at once
A prayer out loud, a compliment to a stranger, the phone call from the parking lot. Then real free time, with a dozen names already in hand.
The room dares me
Before the night ends, every group writes me a dare: uncomfortable for me, harmless to everyone else, doable in seven days. I draw one, do it in my real life, and next Tuesday opens with the footage.
