1. Do you know someone that has spent "38 years" alone by
the healing pool? Why do you think this person was so isolated?
2. Describe
a time when you were thrown into a group of people where there was
an unrealistic expectation of relationship. (Work, social or church)
3. Think
about all the people you have relationships with - say, that you talk
with typically week to week. How many of them are Acquaintances? How
many are Friends? Are any of them Brothers?
4. Do
you think it is important to have a Brother? A Band of Brothers? Why
or why not?
5. If
you are not in a band of brothers right now, would you commit to finding
a group of brothers to begin the relational diamond with? Would you
feel comfortable telling the guys at your table about it in the coming
weeks?

STUDY: Go through the book of Acts. Write down all of the examples
of believers together in "brother" type relationships.
