Circle 1: God’s Plan
• God has a plan that encompasses all of history and every detail of our daily lives.
• Anytime we step outside of God’s plan, that is sin.
Circle 2: Brokenness
• Stepping outside God’s design leaves us feeling empty, used, guilty, or full of regret.
• Brokenness is not the worst place to be — it shows us something needs to change.
Circle 3: Jesus
• God sees us in our brokenness and has provided the only real solution.
• He invites us to turn from trying to fix ourselves and place our trust in Him.
• We receive forgiveness, the Holy Spirit, a church family, and can pursue God’s design.
How to Use the 3 Circles
• Use them whenever someone shares a problem, issue, or challenge.
• You don’t have to force scripture quotes. Simply speak the truth of scripture: God has a plan → stepping outside it leads to brokenness → Jesus is the change we need.
• God has a plan → stepping outside it leads to brokenness → Jesus is the change we need.
