The Power of 3
Friendship • Mentorship • Accountability
We grow best in circles, not rows. A "Power of 3" is a simple triad that helps you feel engaged, supported, challenged, and loved as you grow here.
Why 3? C. S. Lewis shows why friends multiply our life rather than divide it:
"In each of my friends there is something that only some other friend can fully bring out. By myself I am not large enough to call the whole man into activity; I want other lights than my own to show all his facets... Hence true Friendship is the least jealous of loves. Two friends delight to be joined by a third, and three by a fourth, if only the newcomer is qualified to become a real friend." —C. S. Lewis, The Four Loves
With three, you get a fuller picture. One friend sparks courage, another brings wisdom, and together you become more than you are alone. Join a "Band of 3"
What is a Band of 3?
3 People

Weekly Sessions
45-60 minute meetings on Zoom or in person, creating consistent space for authentic connection and accountability.

Each role serves a unique purpose in your development journey. Truth aligns your mind. Virtue aligns your heart. Wisdom aligns your soul.

Mentor
Points to principles and patterns - offering wisdom and perspective from experience.
Accountability

Band of 3 Covenant
Strong relationships require clear agreements. These five commitments create the foundation for transformative growth and lasting friendship.
Confidentiality
What's shared in the group stays in the group. Create sacred space where vulnerability is protected and honored.
Honesty with Kindness
Speak truth wrapped in love. Challenge each other with care, avoiding both harsh criticism and enabling silence.
No Fixing Without Permission
Ask before offering advice. Sometimes people need to be heard before they need to be helped. Honor their process.
Show Up on Time
Respect each other's time and commitment. Consistency builds trust and demonstrates the value you place on growth.
Follow Through on Commitments
Do what you say you'll do. Integrity in small things builds credibility for bigger challenges and deeper trust.
These agreements aren't rules to follow but values to embody. They transform good intentions into life-changing relationships.
Starter Prompts
Use one or two of these questions each week to spark meaningful conversation and deeper reflection.
What is your biggest obstacle to your personal growth?
Where do you need truth spoken in love right now?
Which virtue would change your week if practiced daily?
What wise decision are you avoiding? What's the first step?
What did you learn from a recent failure that you can apply today?
The best questions create space for discovery, not just answers. Let curiosity guide your conversations and watch how honest inquiry transforms ordinary meetings into extraordinary growth experiences.
