It helps people to discover their soul through experience.…..then introduces them to God and the person of Jesus before offering an invitation to make a faith commitment. ## HOW THE STIR COURSE WORKS Each session can run from 20 – 60 minutes and uses experiences, video clips and reflection to stir up the many spiritual emotions, questions and longings that lie dormant, under the surface of most people’s lives. The leader learns to call attention to these longings and interprets them as springing from the soul. As participants uncover their true spiritual nature it provides the motivation to explore faith further.
