2 or 3 Together



Jesus taught, “Whenever two or three of you come together in my name, I am there with you.” – Matthew 18:20 (CEV)

How often do you feel like you’re fighting your daily battles alone? You might even be in a crowd of people, but you still feel lonely. Every day we struggle and strive to find meaningful connections with God and with others.

I read recently that loneliness is now so prevalent in the United Kingdom that the government established a new branch of their public health service to combat it. Its leader is called, would you believe, the “Minister of Loneliness.”

I don’t think loneliness is just an issue in the UK, I believe it’s affecting people of all ages around the globe. A seventeen-year-old girl can still feel alone while texting on a group chat. A healthy seventy-year-old man can become a “shut in” living in total isolation once loneliness creeps into his soul.

If you’re reading this, then know for sure, you are not alone. 

You are one of thousands around the world that are a part of The 3 O’Clock Wake Up Call Movement. Thousands of women and men who are stopping every day at 3pm to give thanks and praise to God for our blessings. Whether busy or bored, happy or sad, fulfilled or floundering…together we are living out 1Thessalonians 5:18, Give thanks to God in all circumstances because this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus. 

Now it’s time to link arms and form a stronger community built on our belief that giving thanks to God every day will ignite your faith and change your world. Are you ready? Here we go!

You are invited into our community called, 2 or 3 Together. Jesus promised us that whenever two or three of us come together in His name, He is with us (Matthew 18:20). 

2 or 3 Together 

Here’s how it works.

Every Wednesday, your 3pm text or push notification will take you to a blog post. You read the post and reflect on three key questions at the bottom. Then you will discuss the key questions with others. You will also be able to share your thoughts with the whole 3 O’Clock Wake Up Call Community on Facebook or on our website. 

Research shows us that we retain knowledge so much more when we discuss material with others then when we just hear it or read it alone.

Let’s break it down.

A – Ask one or more people to join you in 2 or 3 Together. A spouse, a couple co-workers, a son or daughter, a circle of friends…all combinations of people together are great. 

S – Share your answers. It can be as simple as an email or a text. Or better yet, set a time to talk them over, either in person, on the phone, FaceTime. 

K – Keep it up. Your answers are important. Even when you miss a week, pick up where you left off. 


2 or 3 Together is a simple and easy way to build a community around yourself where you can safely share together and grow in your faith. So let’s get started! Who can you ASK?



The Power of Giving God Thanks Will Ignite Your Faith and Change Your World!

Thank You for being a part of the 3 O’Clock Wake Up Call Movement
