The future of Bible study groups is not about bigger rooms or better labels. It is about knowing your people, keeping the conversation alive all week, and building a ministry that actually meets the needs of real life right now. Dr. Jody Dean, professor at New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary and church practitioner, joins Ken Braddy to unpack where groups ministry is headed and why some churches are thriving while others are fighting for space, leaders, and momentum. If your church is asking how to reach younger adults, engage young families, and make group life matter beyond Sunday morning, this conversation gets practical fast.<a href='https://www.amazon.com/Building-Disciple-making-Ministry-Timeless-Principles/dp/1087744911/ref=sr_1_1?adgrpid=189462431954&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.EvblbzWErEcw9_0XShaewiZ04_jK1q1BRwBsLqx_FBvEEpWB8ZlBLhphNHCmg-xcKQj6DsIRMuPi7L6B4-noz3aJh6qOcuteskGEvCRQmwbiaSOa9k8AK9BAFkn_37a3fL_YVPxCQndETiXpfbSpJiZFg1t1P83YGTzgMuPs2RQLSdoQ-vUvA33q-4liTkq94eH5PT67bO0bzD9qKZ1fultFodDj-P9SGmVrG71ax2U.iabZ1S9OHtaTtposPdTHxJ1FQhMXHDGSw2_1652A53Q&dib_tag=se&hvadid=792866472680&hvdev=c&hvexpln=0&hvlocphy=9011782&hvnetw=g&hvocijid=815327105905790194--&hvqmt=e&hvrand=815327105905790194&hvtargid=kwd-1966142951266&hydadcr=2682_13892959_2452316&keywords=building+a+disciple-making+ministry&mcid=76a4da08a03d3eceaeba5ede9987bb81&qid=1788882016&sr=8-1'>Building a Disciple-making Ministry by Ken Braddy and Allan Taylor</a>
