WHICH hwl GROUP STUDY should you choose?

We currently offer two different ways to experience How We Love in a group setting. While both teach the same foundational How We Love concepts, the materials, videos, and format are different.

The Church Group Study is our newest and most comprehensive group curriculum—and the option we recommend for most churches and groups. It was created from the ground up specifically for a structured, nine-session group experience.

The Church Group Study includes:

  • Professionally printed Leader Guides and Participant Guides shipped directly to you
  • Studio-recorded teaching videos with Milan and Kay created specifically for this nine-session curriculum
  • Two teaching video segments per session
  • Step-by-step instructions in the guides that tell leaders when to play each video and how to facilitate the session
  • Guided group discussions, practical exercises, and skill practices
  • Reflection activities to help participants understand their Love Styles, recognize unhealthy relational patterns, and develop healthier ways of connecting
  • A short Leader Training video before each session to help facilitators prepare and lead with confidence
  • Streaming video access through either a 3-month or 12-month subscription

The original How We Love Workshop for Live/In Person groups format is a different product. It uses video segments taken from our six-hour live How We Love Workshop recording, rather than videos created specifically for a weekly group study. It also uses downloadable PDF guides that you print yourself.

The original How We Love book and How We Love Workbook can be used as supplemental resources with either format, but they do not replace the Leader and Participant Guides for the Church Group Study. The Church Group Study Guides are specifically designed to correspond with the studio videos and provide the instructions, discussion questions, exercises, and skill practices for each session.

The How We Love Workshop Studies:

These group studies are recordings of our workshops segmented into seven or nine sessions, depending on the workshop.

The Leader Kit purchase includes a download of the syllabus used in the workshop as well as Group Leader guide download with discussion questions for each session. Downloadable Participant guides can be purchased separately.

All written material is only available in a downloadable format.
