SMALL GROUP EXPERIENCE
Uniting Believers for Spiritual Awakening
SMALL GROUP LEADER’S GUIDE
BYRON PAULUS AND BILL ELLIFF
INSTRUCTIONS FOR GROUP LEADERS
Dear Group Leader,
We are in a desperate time. Throughout our country
believers are recognizing the deep need for a nationwide
movement of revival and spiritual awakening. It is our
only hope.
OneCry is designed to help fan the flame of revival. The
OneCry Experience is a concentrated tool designed to
mobilize tens of thousands of people through their local
churches or ministries.
Your role in this eight-week emphasis is critical, but the
process will be relatively simple.
So how do I prepare for and lead my group to maximize
the OneCry Experience for God’s glory?
1. PRAY!
Only God can bring the repentance and faith that lead to
revival. Your church is praying together that God will send
revival across the nation . . . but that begins with YOU!
Set aside time daily to pray for these coming weeks. Also,
spend a concentrated time before each week’s meeting
asking God to manifest His presence in your group.
2 // ONECRY
2. READ THE ONECRY BOOK CHAPTER, AT LEAST WEEKLY, IN
ADVANCE OF YOUR GROUP.
Your materials include a OneCry book. You may want to
read it through in one sitting. Or perhaps you’ll want to
read portions weekly. Whatever you do, be sure to stay a
week or two ahead of your group.
Mark in your book! Highlight quotes that might be
helpful, and feel free to use portions of the book in your
group discussions.
3. USE THE ONECRY EXPERIENCE DVD OR ONLINE VIDEOS.
Begin your group with a few minutes of fellowship, introductions, or an ice-breaker. Then open in prayer, asking
God to meet with you during your study and discussion.
Watch together the video teaching by Byron Paulus and
Bill Elliff. You can do this in one of two ways:
A. Through use of the OneCry DVD
B. Online by visiting www.OneCryBook.com/SmallGroup
and entering the access code OCE647
4. LEAD THE DISCUSSION WITH THE QUESTIONS PROVIDED.
These questions are provided at the end of each chapter in
the OneCry book. They can also be downloaded from the
website and are included at the end of each DVD session.
LEADER’S GUIDE // 3
Be sure to seize the “God moments.” If God seems to be
settling down on a particular truth during the discussion,
don’t feel you must hurry to get to all the questions. Your
goal is to help your group encounter our great, reviving
God! If God is working, take time to engage further in the
discussion until He moves you forward.
5. PROVIDE AT LEAST 10–15 MINUTES AT THE END OF
EACH SESSION FOR GUIDED PRAYER.
One of the important distinctions of the OneCry
Experience is that you will lead your group to actually
do exactly what you’re discussing.
Prayer in groups needs to be led. Many people do not
know how to pray. As you begin, ask the people to let
God’s Spirit lead them to pray for the things on His heart.
Tell your group that you will be suggesting things to pray
for during the prayer time. Walk through the prayer guide
included, giving them time to pray through each point.
When it seems that a subject has been exhausted, simply
say, “As we continue, let’s pray for ______________,” and
move through the remainder of the prayer points one by
one, as provided in the Crying Out section.
On several of the weeks, your group is invited to pray
through a passage of Scripture. Some people have never
experienced that form of prayer. Simply invite everyone to turn to the passage, read through it together,
and then pray the thoughts of that passage to the Lord,
4 // ONECRY
personalizing it for our needs today. Give them enough
instruction so they will feel comfortable praying this way.
It is very important for you to pray about your prayer
times. Before the group meetings, ask God to lead these
times and to meet with you in power. God said that “the
effective fervent prayer of a righteous man can accomplish much” (James 5:16). Believe that God will use
these prayer times to teach your group to pray together,
and also to move our nation toward revival and spiritual
awakening. God says that your prayers matter and will
make a difference!
6. CONTINUE TO SEEK REVIVAL AND AWAKENING IN
YOUR GROUP.
The OneCry Experience is designed to be a catalyst
toward continuing repentance and prayer for revival and
awakening in the nation. Don’t finish the study and then
never mention these issues again. Make this emphasis
a continual concern in your group. Seize all available
opportunities to remind your group in the coming
months of the need to cry out together, as a group and
with thousands across the nation!
Make sure all of your group members are signed up with
www.OneCry.com so they can receive regular biblical
articles, videos, and stories of what God is doing across the
nation. Talk often in your group about what you are reading
weekly through the OneCry e-mails. Let revival become a
regular part of your conversation and prayer.

CHAPTER REVIEW SUMMARY
This chapter makes the case that America is in significant spiritual need. Our nation is faced with obvious
moral, economic, political, and spiritual deficits, resulting in the breakdown of our families, communities, and
even churches. What is the answer?
Author Byron Paulus believes we need a divine intervention—a spiritual awakening—that would bring in much
needed transformation. In the Bible, when the nation of
Israel faced periods of great darkness, the people were only
rescued and revived when they cried out for God’s help.
Could a similar cry be the answer for America today? Not
more strategies or efforts, more money or more organizations, but one united, passionate cry to the God of
heaven to heal our broken nation?
DISCUSSION WARM-UP IDEAS
On pages 28–29, Byron lists some evidences of
America’s need for spiritual awakening (fatherlessness,
confusion, etc.). Read these aloud to the group, then
ask for input on how these trends have made a personal
8 // DISCUSSION & PRAYER GUIDES
impact on lives in your local community. Are there
additional indicators you see in culture that illustrate the
desperate urgency for salvation and revival?
On page 40, the author asks five questions that motivated him to engage in crying out to God for spiritual
awakening in America. Ask the group if they find any of
these questions similarly motivating, and if so, why.

1. Many people, even unbelievers and atheists, tell
stories of crying out to God in moments of great
need. What is it that drives us to cry out to God in
such times?
2. Does God hear people’s urgent cries? Do you have
an illustration of a time when God answered your
desperate cry?

3. Do you agree that we are in a state of national spiritual emergency? Why or why not?
4. One of the goals of our study and prayer is to build
our hope and faith that God can send nationwide
revival. On a scale of 1–10, how much faith do you
have that what is happening in our nation—spiritually, morally, culturally—can be changed, even
mightily reversed? Is it possible?
5. What do you hope to gain from this study?

CHAPTER REVIEW SUMMARY
This chapter relates stories of dramatic spiritual movements—Great Awakenings—from both the distant and
more recent past. Times of spiritual awakening highlight
the kingdom of God, advancing the rule and reign of
Christ in the hearts of many people. In fact, a spiritual
awakening is the “visible invasion of the King and
His kingdom.”
Spiritual awakenings result in obvious societal transformation, and they have important eternal ramifications
as well. Author Bill Elliff suggests that these rapid
advances of spiritual life are necessary to the long-term
health of cultures and nations, and that America is in
desperate need of another such spiritual change.
DISCUSSION WARM-UP IDEAS
On page 56, author Bill Elliff states, “We need a massive course correction that only a sovereign King can
bring.” Have each group member begin this time of
discussion by relating their own testimony, the “course
correction” God brought into their life.
12 // DISCUSSION & PRAYER GUIDES
Beginning on the bottom of page 57, the author relates
the story of a local spiritual awakening in his church. Ask
the group if they have ever been part of a moment like
that, and what barriers might exist to this kind of thing
becoming more common in American churches.

CHAPTER REVIEW SUMMARY
This chapter reminds us that national spiritual awakening begins on a personal scale: “National awakenings
begin with personal reviving.” When Jesus addressed the
church of Ephesus in Revelation 2, He spoke about the
need of that church to return to its first love relationship
with Him.
Author Bill Elliff explains that the process outlined by
Jesus to this particular church—that they should remember (from how far they have fallen), repent (turn back
toward Him), and return (to authentic Christianity)—is a
blueprint for what we can do, today. Before we ask God
to change our neighborhood, our church, or our city, we
must first evaluate our relationship with Him and, if necessary, rekindle our love for Him.
DISCUSSION WARM-UP IDEAS
Select two of the probing questions on page 72 to discuss publicly with your group. Encourage each member
to share from their own life and to be honest about their
spiritual condition. An important prerequisite of revival

movements has always been open, honest hearts humbling themselves before God and one another.
Beginning on page 75, four signs of love for Christ (and
a revived heart) are outlined. Review this section with
your group, and consider how a passionate love for Jesus
might change our priorities in these areas.

CHAPTER REVIEW SUMMARY
This chapter suggests that God’s judgment on nations
is often calculated to bring about their repentance and
restoration: “God’s judgments are His necessary tools to
bring us to desperation.”
Author Bill Elliff applies this logic to our own culture
today, pressing the questions, “Could God be bringing
pain (judgment) into our lives as a way of getting our
attention? Could difficult national events be divine signposts pointing us to repentance?”
DISCUSSION WARM-UP IDEAS
On page 88, Bill Elliff shares his personal viewpoint
that 9/11 could have been an important wake-up call
to American Christians, but that we largely missed the
moment. Have group members recount where they were on
9/11, and what some of their initial spiritual reactions were.
Page 89 asks a “Question from Around the World.” After
reading that section aloud with your group, ask them to
respond to the man’s challenge in the account. What
20 // DISCUSSION & PRAYER GUIDES
events typically lead people to devastation? What could
that look like for America? Do you think that will be
necessary for America to take God seriously, or is there a
different choice we could make?

1. What do you see in America in the last ten years that
might be signs of God’s judgment on our nation?
2. The remedial judgment of God is that which is sent
to correct us, and there is hope of change. The
final judgment of God means there is no possibility
of escape. Do you see our nation under God’s remedial or final judgment? Why?
3. Read 2 Chronicles 7:13-14. Read all of it carefully.
Although this passage was written to the nation of
Israel, the principle that God responds to humility, repentance, and prayer is repeated in the New
Testament—read James 4:8-10. What do you think
this is saying to us right now as a nation?

CHAPTER REVIEW SUMMARY
This chapter encourages believers not to give up hope, but
to recognize God’s stated desire to answer the urgent cries
of His people: “Your humble cry makes a difference!”
Author Bill Elliff believes that a great unclaimed treasure
for Christians is that we have access to God’s promise
to answer prayers in mighty, unexpected, and dramatic
ways. Could it be that even in a scenario that seems
dark, hopeless, and unsustainable (like American culture
today), God could be ready and willing to answer our
fervent prayers?
DISCUSSION WARM-UP IDEAS
Read the story of the judge and the persistent widow in
Luke 18, and reference Bill Elliff’s commentary on page
97. How do you interpret the question Jesus asks about
finding “faith on the earth”?
The last paragraph on page 94 relates the story of
Hudson Taylor, who saw God answer his bold prayers for
24 // DISCUSSION & PRAYER GUIDES
China. Read this paragraph (and the first paragraph on
page 95); then have the group discuss what bold prayers
could be prayed right now for the advancement of Christ’s
kingdom in America today.

CHAPTER REVIEW SUMMARY
This chapter challenges readers not just to pray, but
to pray together. In God’s purposes for us, He not only
intends that we have a living relationship with Jesus
on our own, but that we unify in heart and prayer with
one another.
Bill Elliff explains that there is incredible power in a
united cry, which is why the OneCry Declaration asks
for group involvement, not just individual agreement.
He believes that “a united cry is uniquely irresistible
to God”; that is, that God’s presence and power are
attracted to those who cry out for revival together.
DISCUSSION WARM-UP IDEAS
On page 101, a portion of Jesus’ prayer for unity is
reprinted from John 17. Ask the group to share times
where they have had either positive or negative experiences in “unified prayer” with other believers. And
beyond just prayer, what do they think are the roadblocks
to church-wide unity?
28 // DISCUSSION & PRAYER GUIDES

CHAPTER REVIEW SUMMARY
This chapter counters the oppressive darkness we see
around us which causes us to doubt that things could
really change, reminding us that “God can save us now!”
Bill Elliff makes a powerful case in this chapter for believing God to do great things; having the faith not only to ask
for revival but to expect an answer to that urgent prayer.
He explains, “If you think I’m a lunatic, go ahead. . . .
Everything I’ve just described has happened, more than
once, in American history. And our God is powerful enough
to do it again.” It is time to put our faith in God’s power to
change everything through spiritual awakening, beginning
in our own lives and families.
DISCUSSION WARM-UP IDEAS
Beginning on page 119, Bill Elliff cites a list from Bob
Bakke, an expert on the history of the Great Awakenings.

what He desires, when He desires, but He also

there are things God says He will not do if we do
not confess our sins and turn and pray! (See James
4:1-10.) What do you think is our responsibility

CHAPTER REVIEW SUMMARY
In this concluding chapter, Byron Paulus lays out the
practical vision of the OneCry call, where we put into
daily practice the Revival Realities Bill Elliff shared in
the preceding chapters.
In summary, Byron believes that American Christians
must do three things to prepare for the spiritual awakening our culture so desperately needs: TURN (in
repentance), PRAY (in faith), and UNITE (for prayer and
action). This vision is anchored in the Declaration of
National Spiritual Emergency found on page 130.
DISCUSSION WARM-UP IDEAS
On pages 133–135, Byron Paulus explains the three
kinds of people he believes should drive the OneCry call
to the nation. Review these with the group, and ask if
anyone would like to share ideas or desires that could be
next steps personally as a result of reading this book and
considering the OneCry vision.
