Study Sessions
The Dialogue normally meets on the first and third Tuesdays of each month from 7:00–8:30 p.m. PT. From time to time, we may use an alternate Tuesday because of travel, holidays, or other scheduling needs. Registered participants receive the Zoom link, meeting details, reminders, schedule updates, and follow-up information by email. You can also view the calendar of upcoming session dates here: Upcoming Events.
Each gathering follows four movements: Word, Scripture, Formation, and Clarification.
- Word — We begin with a key biblical word, phrase, or concept that frames the session.
- Scripture — We study a passage of Scripture in context.
- Formation — We consider how biblical truth takes shape in daily life.
- Clarification — We make room for questions, discussion, and practical concerns.
This simple structure helps each session remain biblical, practical, and conversational.
