On this episode of Group Answers, Chris and Eddie talk about how to make sure people want to come back to your group a second time. Eddie Mosley is the Adult Minister of Groups at Brentwood Baptist Church. Eddie is author of Connecting in Communities, Understanding the Dynamics of Small Groups and various other articles on practical approaches to reaching people for Bible study.  He is a sought-after speaker for small group ministry as well as neighborhood impact.  His passion is to help leaders develop a strategy to implement Small Groups that build community and impact their communities. Eddie completed an M.Div degree at The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary and a D.Min degree at the New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary.

Reasons Discussed:

* The group has been together for a while and it’s hard to see a place to fit in. 

* There is no time invested in building community. 

* There is no intentionality behind the studies chosen. 

* The leader dominates the discussion. 

* The leader is unprepared for the group meeting.
