Well outlined
I like how the facilitator made it clear that God is more interior than exterior, How she supports the idea of change and making God relevant. we have to know that God is there and not belief that he is because things you belief you can change anytime but for things you know you cannot change. GOD is REAL and that is a FACT.Clear presentation
