The Tripod

How It Works

Three people. One WhatsApp group. Nobody stands alone.

A wooden tripod in a forest clearing. Its two front legs are labelled Seeker, and the centre leg is labelled Victor.
Two Seekers · One Victor

A tripod is a small, private WhatsApp group: two Seekers and one Victor. A tripod only stands when all three legs hold. Each person carries weight, and each person is carried.

Daily
Each Seeker sends ✅ for a day of victory or ❎ for a slip.
Weekly
All three meet on a WhatsApp video call.
Monthly
An Ambassador joins to observe and encourage.

When you come together

Three questions

  1. 1

    How did you feed your soul?

  2. 2

    How did you help others?

  3. 3

    How did you feed your flesh?

Beyond the tripod · Supports several tripods

Ambassador

Someone who watches over tripods and carries the ministry into churches.

  1. 1 Join an assigned tripod at least once a month.
  2. 2 Observe how the tripod is functioning and offer suggestions.
  3. 3 Use the ongoing activity you see in the tripod to know how to help.
  4. 4 Promote the ministry in churches, youth groups and men’s groups.
  5. 5 Offer helpful critique to the ministry.
  6. 6 Put ministry posters up in churches.
  7. 7 Pray for the tripods and the ministry.

What is said in a tripod stays in the tripod. Confidentiality is broken only where the law requires it.

Take your place in a tripod

Whether you are seeking freedom or ready to walk with someone, the first step is a short, confidential form.
