The Buddy system of Just-Do-It discovery is like a book club. Participants each do their own reading, using the Solo Guide for Just-Do-It discovery. Later the "buddies" get together to discuss what they discovered and what they did about it.
1. Get a buddy.
Because the Just-Do-It discovery process is about the skill of listening to God's Spirit and sensing God's nudges, choose your "buddy" in that way. Who is God suggesting that you invite to be your buddy?
Let God put someone in your mind. That person may be someone you would not have thought of on your own. Once God puts someone in mind, do not think too much before you invite him or her. Just do it!
Note: If the person declines, don't blame yourself. God may have wanted you to invite him/her as preparation for something God will do later with them. Just ask God to put someone else in your mind as a buddy.
2. Help your buddy know what to expect
Choose a time and either a place or a virtual method for your weekly conversation as buddies.
Go over the list of simple basic rules for the buddy system for Just-Do-It discovery. The rules are in the warm-up section of the "Solo guide".
Note: These Just-Do-It rules may come as a surprise to people who are familiar with typical "Bible studies". They may have to unlearn some old habits before the Just-Do-It method will work for them.
3. Do your own Just-Do-It discovery
Each of you uses the "Solo guide" to get your Just-Do-It item for the week. You may or may not have time to do your Just-Do-It before your weekly talk with your buddy. That doesn't matter unless you are deliberately avoiding the item.
4. Have your weekly talk with your buddy
Share these four things with each other:
Something you are thankful for
A challenge you are facing
How your Just-Do-It went last week
What your Just-Do-It is for this week
Note: If you find that you read different Scripture passages, it doesn't matter. The goal is not to discuss a specific passage but to discover a personal Just-Do-It item for the week. God can help you discover your item through any passage, even if it is not the "right" one in the schedule.
5. Step back and admire the view
Just-Do-It items or assignments are specific things the Spirit of God puts into you to do as part of your personal participation in God's Get Real campaign. As you do them, you bring some of the glorious future Messianic Era into the present! You live like a person from the future. How cool is that!
At first it may feel odd to SYNC, to See Yourself iN Christ, to realize you are living week to week as part of God's Get Real campaign team, getting campaign assignments from the Spirit and just doing them. When this method starts to feel normal, you probably won't need this written guide any more. Just-Do-Its will become your new way of life, with or without the guide.
