Tired of walking on eggshells?

Lead your team through difficult conversations without dividing your church.

​

Three Practice Circles provide communities of people with a method by which they can have meaningful, productive conversations about sensitive or difficult matters.  Participants in a Circle commit to three simple practices for the duration of the Circle:
 

1. Be unusually interested in others.

(Moving from judgment to deep curiosity.)

2. Stay in the room with difference.

(Resisting the urge to defensive retreat or division.)

3. Stop comparing my best with your worst.

(Extending the same grace to others that we desire for ourselves.)

​

As a trained Three Practice Circle Referee, I don’t take sides or steer the outcome. My job is to protect the space, enforce the boundaries, and ensure everyone is heard equally. I hold the clock and handle the structure so your team can focus entirely on listening and understanding.

Three practice Circles are a great space to exercise our curiosity with one another and to practice listening well so as to seek understanding. They use three simple steps enabling teams and churches to have the harder conversations that they can sometimes face. 

 

• Step 1: The Frame. A volunteer responds to a specific prompt for exactly 2 minutes.

• Step 2: The Curiosity. Other participants ask clarifying questions to understand, not to debate.

• Step 3: The Reply. The speaker has 1 minute to respond to each question.
