Listen in as they talk about the spiritual practice of confession. Discussion Questions for Coaches Time: 1. Coaches, if you have something, start off by sharing a time when confession was part of your story (either you confessed or someone confessed to you). 2. Has there ever been a time where you needed to confess something and you choice to share it?  What happened to your heart? How’d the person you shared with respond? 3. Close in praying for each other. Ask God specifically that trust would be built within both your coaches group and your small group, so if anything needs to be confessed there is an open place to share.
