Tool: The Table Test
Reflection Questions:
Who is currently seated at my table?
Who do I need to invite to join?
Who do I need to invite to leave?
ACTION PLAN: Spend some time with this reflection exercise. Pray through these questions and then answer them in your mind or in a notebook. Next to each name you write down, also write down how you plan on taking an action step out of this exercise.
