Cada estudio se enfoca en el reclutamiento de Dios a individuos que se unen a un movimiento de liberación, que ofrece a los moderadores preguntas y sugerencias para guiar el estudio, las explicaciones y la información de los antecedentes acerca del texto, así como las invitaciones y llamados a la acción de los participantes.
