AttuneApp - Beta Taste
Thank you for being a beta tester for the AttuneApp! This page has everything you need to complete the session. Your facilitator will guide you through each step. Feel free to follow along below.
Welcome & Orientation (~15 min)
-
The guidance and example facilitator scripts included below are suggestions only. Facilitators are encouraged to improv with any and all of it to best serve their group.
Welcome and brief check in:
“Welcome, everyone. It’s so good to be together. Before we dive in, take a breath and arrive. See if you can notice & name how you’re feeling as we begin our time together.”
“For those that are comfortable sharing, in a couple of words or phrases, describe your best sense of how you’re feeling.”
Purpose:
“Today we’re helping to beta test the new AttuneApp — an experience designed to strengthen our ability to attune to God and to one another. As we use it, we’re also exploring what it looks like to cultivate transformative community where we listen well, connect deeply, and invest in each other’s flourishing.”
Plan for our session:
Welcome & Orientation
Individual Attunement via the AttuneApp
Sharing and Listening in Small Breakouts
Large Group Debrief
Feedback & Closing
Ask for a volunteer to open the group up in a brief prayer
Ask for a volunteer to read through the Guidance for Group Dynamics below, inviting the rest of the group to read long with you
-
We encourage all parties to gently stretch toward wise vulnerability.
Each person is encouraged to discern for themselves:
What exercises to engage in, if any
What to share, if anything
During our interactions, we aim to actively practice the following:
We communicate with our words and body language that we are present, we accept each other, we seek each other’s good and we are in this together.
We are not here to judge, fix, convict, give advice or provide answers – even to ourselves, but to help each other listen to God and gain new perspective.
We act as a loving, curious presence - noticing emotions, asking questions and identifying deeper patterns and opportunities to move these patterns toward God’s intent.
We keep everything shared regarding potentially sensitive personal information completely confidential.
Individual Attunement via the AttuneApp (~30 min)
-
“The AttuneApp contains a digital guide to help you attune to the Holy Spirit around a current situation you want God’s help with. We encourage you to maintain focus on what you sense God might be saying to you, rather than focus on the technology itself. Think of it as a structure that gives you space to listen, reflect, and dialogue with God.
When you’re ready, click ‘Access the AttuneApp,’ create your account, and begin the exercise. We’ll regroup at [local time in 30 min]. If you finish early, take a few minutes to pray, journal, or just be still.”
Breakouts for Sharing & Listening (~25 min)
-
“We’ll now breakout into groups of three (or pairs if that works better). These spaces are where we practice attuning to one another — listening deeply, speaking honestly, and noticing what the Spirit might be revealing through each story.”
Facilitators, you can assign or allow groups to form freely, just make sure everyone has a place.
Once in groups, ask someone from each group to volunteer to read the Guidance for Sharing and Listening aloud to center your time together, and let people know when to regroup.
-
The purpose of these breakouts is to help each person deepen their own discernment of God’s guidance. This is not a time to problem-solve or give advice, but to create space where each person can listen for what resonates as they speak things out loud. When we practice this kind of attunement together, we not only grow in discernment but also in connection and trust with one another.
When You’re Sharing:
Share whatever you sense will help you voice, clarify, claim, or act on your best sense of God’s guidance. Practice gently stretching into wise vulnerability—sharing a bit more openly than you might normally, while always knowing you can say “pass” or share only what feels right.
When You’re Listening:
Your primary role is to be a loving, attentive presence. Listen with genuine curiosity to understand the speaker’s perspective.
Resist the urge to judge, give advice, or share your own story.
Let your body language say: I see you, I accept you, and I’m glad to be with you in this.
You might say things like:
“Thank you for sharing. That sounds really [hard/exciting/etc.]. I hear [courage/wisdom/faith/etc.] in your response.”
“Tell me more about [specific area].”
Remember: your goal is to help the person sharing further voice, clarify, claim, and act on their own sense of God’s guidance.
