Marriage in the Real World CG Plan - Audio and Discussion The purpose of this plan is to help stir and facilitate fellowship and discussion in the context of Community Group. This is intended to fit into an entire Community Group meeting, but not to fill an entire meeting. Please carry out your worship, prayer, snakcs, etc. as you normally would. There is an audio clip for you to hear as a group from Marriage in the Real World - Session 3: Transforming Broken Communication. The clip highlights teaching on Anger. It lasts for about 9 1/2 minutes. You’ll want to be set up technologically to play this. Plan 1. Start by asking general and generic questions about the conference. If you have already discussed portions of the conference in your groups, feel free to skip to the next step. If not, or if you find another would be helpful, ask about people’s impressions, specific ways the conference affected them. If you have a group with both married and unmarried people in it, you could ask one or two people to summarize the conference.
 2. Set up the clip (assuming you’ve listened to it already ahead of time). Something along the lines of:
 
 “We are going to listen to a short section from one of the conference messages. This clip focuses on the issue of anger. While this was a marriage conference, you’ll find the teaching and the application to be broad enough for all of us. And, you’ll find yourself thinking through how this could apply to most of your relationships.
 
 “As you listen, take notes. Write down points you hear Voddie making. Write down which points seem to resonate most with you. And we’ll discuss it afterwards.”
 3. Questions for discussion:
 1. What struck you most as you listened? What stood out to you?
 2. What is your own personal experience with the sin of anger? How do you behave when you are angry? What typically makes you angry? What light is shed on these things from the teaching we just listened to?
 3. What is one point of application you could make, even tonight, to step toward change in the area of anger? How might you benefit from the thoughts of a spouse or a friend in these areas? Remember: We don’t see ourselves accurately; we need the from others.
 4. Consider praying as a group to close. You could pray for specific things that have been shared, generally for this area to be sanctified in our lives, or for general prayer needs.
