This template helps you and your mentor/mentee clarify goals, define how you'll connect, and commit to making the most of your time together.

Meetups should be in person whenever possible — we're wired for face-to-face connection, and intentionally stepping out of our routines to meet helps prioritize the relationship, build trust, and deepen conversation. That being said, planning one virtual meeting during the year is a valuable way to develop communication skills increasingly essential in today's workplace.

Your meetups can take many forms: a site visit, mock interview, networking event, shared meal, outing, or hobby. Inviting a spouse or another mentor pair can spark fresh perspectives. Serving together contributes to the common good, and attending a worship service can encourage spiritual growth.

Simple, consistent rhythms and intentional conversation are what matter most. The priority is keeping the relationship central and creating space for honest, thoughtful dialogue. Reference the Ignite Journal and Resources page for additional meetup ideas.

This list of 40 questions is designed to prompt intentional, meaningful dialog and provide a starting point for each month's theme — not a script, but a guide to help you go deeper together.

The strength of Ignite is its simplicity. At its core, this program is about relationship — showing up, building trust, being vulnerable, staying curious, and making space for meaningful conversation. It's not about having the perfect meetup or impressing one another.

If you want to know whether you're doing Ignite well, focus on the relationship. Be consistent. Be present. Care about one another. Genuine connection is the main thing.

In many ways, Ignite is a living expression of the George Fox "Be Known" promise. Deep down, what people want most is to be known and to be loved. Everything else is gravy.
