Rebuilding Trust™ — Mini Training Facilitator Guide
Lead this 60-minute session with the pastoral depth and precision the material requires.
⚠ Facilitators only — not for participant distribution.
Participants in this session are carrying real, live breach — some recent, some long-standing, some still raw. The material covers territory that is both practically precise and personally exposing: the counterfeit accountability they may have offered or received, the forgiveness they may have confused with trust, the step of the framework they are most avoiding. Leading it with pastoral care requires full preparation. This guide provides it.
What's Inside:
Zoom setup with specific guidance for this session's pastoral register — camera-off culture, pacing, and how to hold the space for participants navigating active breach
Minute-by-minute 60-minute session flow with facilitator notes
Welcome and framing scripts — how to open for participants on both sides of the breach simultaneously
Teaching notes: What Trust Actually Is + Forgiveness vs. Trust + The Framework — key points, Scripture context, chat prompts
Guidance on facilitating the framework application — how to guide specific, honest engagement without the exercise becoming a live conflict
Exercise facilitation: Option A (breakout rooms) and Option B (solo reflection)
Difficult moments protocols: acute emotional disclosure, a participant in active relational crisis, a couple in visible tension, a participant whose breach involves serious harm
Crisis resources and pastoral referral guidance
Full closing script and post-session guidance
