Sacred but Fully Known: Brain Gym: A Gist Party Companion

The conversation nobody had with you, now at a table full of friends.

Most Christian couples were given frameworks for prayer, money and parenting, but almost no words for the marriage bed. Brain Gym: A Gist Party Companion turns that silence into honest, warm and surprisingly fun conversation, one gathering at a time.

Built to accompany Sacred but Fully Known by Funke Allen, this companion gives every session the same simple shape, so any couple can host. The group talks about ideas, beliefs and what we were taught. Each couple takes the personal conversation home. That line is what keeps a gist party safe and enjoyable for everyone.

Inside you will find:

• A preamble, “Armed, Not Ashamed”, with six new words for an old battle
• 17 ready-to-run sessions, one for each chapter, plus an opening session and a closing gist
• In every session: a warm-up, group questions, an activity on paper, prompts for each couple at home and Scripture to go deeper
• A host’s guide, house rules and a simple two-hour plan
• Party games, trivia and puzzles: Myth or Truth?, Marriage Trivia, Bible Couples Trivia, Wedding Day Bingo and more
• Four appendices for going deeper at home
• A full answer key

Who it is for: couples preparing for marriage, married couples at every stage, small groups and church marriage ministries, and parents and grandparents who want to pass on the conversation they never received.

What you get: an instant digital download you can read on your phone, tablet or computer.

Read the book. Then gather your people, bring the food and host a gist party.
