Use the notes below to confirm what to bring, when Volume 2 makes sense, and whether the journal would help you between meetings.

Share this page when a friend wants one place to find the materials, the prep list, and the link back into the main reach-out flow.
What to Bring to Your First Meeting
You do not need to overthink the first night. Bring the basics, show up ready to listen, and use the group conversation to settle any questions about pacing or which guide comes next.
Bring These Basics
- Your current study guide if it has arrived.
- A pen or something simple for notes.
- A willingness to be honest and stay engaged with the group.
Helpful, Not Required
- The journal if you want more room for reflection between sessions.
- Your calendar so you can protect weekly meeting time.
- Any questions you want answered before week one gets moving.
Before You Arrive
- Complete the reach-out form if you have not already done it.
- Review the program overview or testimonial page if you want more context.
- Order your materials early enough that you are not rushing at the last minute.
If you are unsure which guide to buy, do not guess. Use the reach-out form first and the team can help point you to the right starting place.
Choose the Right Material
Each item below serves a different stage. Most men begin with Volume 1, move into Volume 2 after finishing the first guide, and use the journal if they want extra room to process what they are learning.
Best Starting Point
Conquer Series Study Guide Volume 1
Who it is for: Men starting the Conquer Series journey for the first time or beginning with the main group study.
What to bring: Bring this guide to each meeting as your main workbook once it arrives.
- Good fit if you are just getting started.
- Helpful for tracking key takeaways during weekly sessions.
Next Stage
Conquer Series Study Guide Volume 2
Who it is for: Men continuing after Volume 1 or jumping into a group that is already working through the second guide.
What to bring: Bring this when your leader confirms your group is moving into Volume 2.
- Best for continuing momentum instead of restarting from scratch.
- Useful when your group has already advanced beyond the first book.
Optional Support
Conquer Series Journal
Who it is for: Men who want extra space for reflection, prayer, pattern-tracking, and next steps between meetings.
What to bring: Bring it weekly if writing things down helps you process and stay consistent.
- Pairs well with either study guide.
- Useful if you want one place for between-session follow-through.
