It’s who you are and the way you live that count before God.
(John 4, The Message)

Three is Enough Groups bring together the five most important strands of my life-long pursuit of Christian spirituality for the sake of others: the Gospel of the Kingdom, the person and work of the Holy Spirit, evangelism, spiritual transformation and contemporary culture.

TiE groups assist three people in any aspect of human endeavor to be, through the empowering presence of the Spirit, ambassadors of the Kingdom in the rhythms and routines of their actual current life. Participation in a TiE group makes possible a couple of crucial practices (and re-practising Christianity is preeminent goal of TiE groups): one’s own spiritual transformation and an others-oriented, servant-hearted engagement with life.

TiE has a double meaning. It is three people, doing three simple activities to support the vision above: pray, grow and serve. Pray to be able to pay attention to the people and events of your life; to be alert to the leadings of the Sprit and the activities of the Kingdom of God. Grow by reading good spiritual literature and taking 30 – 60 minutes a week with your TiE group to discuss how what you are reading is making a difference in your life. Serve others through creative, resourceful and inventive help. Be humble, gentle, generous and genuinely altruistic—no attention drawn to you or your TiE group.

God’s purpose for us is that we are his cooperative friends serving others—the least, the last, the broken and the missing—in the everyday affairs and rhythms of our lives. TiE groups give us one simple way to do just that. Any three people whose daily lives bring them together can do it: three coworkers, three neighbors, three soccer parents, etc. It takes no special leadership. Just find two other people and get started.
