How do we lead small groups that embrace real life—the joys, the struggles, and everything in between?

In this episode of The Group Answers Show, Brian Daniel sits down with Christine Hoover, author of the new Bible study More Than Enough, centered on 2 Corinthians. Christine opens up about her journey writing this study while navigating personal trials, including her son’s cancer diagnosis, and shares how those experiences shaped both the content and heart behind her work.

Listeners will gain insight into:

• The power of vulnerability in group discussions and leadership
• How the Holy Spirit guides writing and teaching for authentic ministry
• Creating safe spaces in small groups where participants can share honestly
• The connection between suffering and comfort in Scripture and life
• Practical wisdom for the future of women’s ministry

Christine’s reflections remind small group leaders that leading with authenticity and compassion transforms not only the study experience but also the hearts of those in their groups.
