A Transformational Journey of Shedding, Renewal, and Purpose
by Jose G. Rodriguez, Ph.D.
The reFOCUS Leader’s Guide is a transformational ministry manual designed to equip pastors, facilitators, and small-group shepherds to lead with clarity, confidence, and spiritual authority. Built as the companion to the reFOCUS: 90 Days of Shedding Devotional, the Companion Workbook, and the Participant Guide, this Leader’s Guide provides the theological depth, pastoral insight, and practical structure needed to shepherd believers through a 13-week journey of renewal.
In a culture saturated with noise, distraction, and emotional weight, leaders must create spaces where people can encounter Scripture deeply, process honestly, and experience Real transformation. This guide helps you do precisely that. Each week includes:
Leader Focus: The pastoral heart and spiritual objective for the session.
Biblical & Historical Context: Rooted in sound theology and original Greek and Hebrew insights.
Facilitation Flow: A structured 75–90 minute session outline to guide meaningful discussion.
Discussion Coaching: Tools for asking better questions without lecturing or dominating the room.
Pastoral Sensitivities: Trauma-aware guidance for navigating emotional moments and complex group dynamics.
Leader Reflection: A personal formation practice to strengthen you as you lead others.
The reFOCUS journey leads participants through four movements of spiritual formation—Release, Renew, Realign, and Recommission. The Leader’s Guide equips you to shepherd each step with gentleness, discernment, and Spirit-led wisdom. Whether you are facilitating a home group, church class, mentorship circle, or discipleship community, this guide provides everything you need to cultivate an atmosphere where transformation can take root and grow.
More than a curriculum, the reFOCUS Leader’s Guide is a ministry companion—helping you steward sacred conversations, foster spiritual resilience, and guide believers into deeper identity, clarity, and purpose. Through Scripture, prayer, and intentional leadership, you’ll help participants shed what hinders them, embrace truth, and walk boldly into the assignment God has prepared for their lives.
Lead with humility. Facilitate with wisdom. Shepherd with love.
The Holy Spirit will do the rest.
Empowering believers to shed limitations, renew their faith, and walk boldly in God’s purpose.
