After teaching your Outpost apologetics tactics and information, your Outpost members need to be sent out to practice what they have learned. After being sent out, you need to regather and debrief their engagement. This is a crucial step in training Christians.
There are many different ways to debrief with people in your Outpost. Here are a couple suggestions. The first is by going to dinner or a coffee shop immediately after your engagement activity to discuss how it went. The second is using your next Outpost meeting to debrief the engagement activities of people in your Outpost. However you decide to debrief, just make sure that you do debrief.
