Learn More About Our Cohorts

As part of an Exponent cohort, you will learn:

Learn to establish daily rhythms that invite consistent time with God—combining practical tools, support structure

Discover key indicators of curiosity and receptivity in those you serve, equipping you with observation techniques and conversational cues to recognize when hearts are ready to engage more deeply.

Spiritual conversations begin with curiosity, not pressure. By asking thoughtful questions, listening with compassion, and inviting others to reflect on their own experiences, we create space for God to move. It’s less about having all the answers and more about being present, attentive, and rooted in Christ.

Guide open-ended discussions rooted directly in Scripture—using thoughtful questions and group dialogue to help participants uncover Biblical insights and apply them to daily life.

Join a Cohort

Step into a guided journey of spiritual formation and ministry skills training alongside like-hearted believers. Each cohort is a small, committed community where Christians from all walks of life are equipped through Scripture, soul care, and intentional coaching—so they can engage in ministry with greater health, depth, and resilience.

Frequently Asked Questions

Our cohorts welcome anyone eager to help friends, family, and neighbors encounter God and grow in community. Whether you’re just starting out or have years of ministry experience, you’ll find practical tools to invite and support others in their faith journey.

All cohorts run online—making it easy to join from anywhere. When travel and logistics allow, select groups also meet in person for an immersive experience.

Our six-session cohorts unfold over a four-month period. Practices move at your own pace, but we encourage consistent engagement—whether that’s 1–2 hours per week of reading, reflection, or practicing skills—to build lasting habits for effective ministry.

You’ll learn to…

  • Have Spirit-led conversations with those outside your faith
  • Host welcoming Discovery Bible Studies that invite non-Christians into Scripture
  • Deepen your personal prayer life for ongoing spiritual vitality
