What a sensible idea! Ask six responsible people to give you feedback for a period of 3 months. So ask a mature believer, a church leader, a new convert, an enquirer, a young person and an old person to give you feedback. Include men and women. And give them questions to answer. They will probably enjoy it, and benefit from doing it, and you will certainly benefit from it! Getting thoughtful and responsible feedback can also be a welcome relief!
Here is a simple feedback form you could [adapt and] use.
