Leading With Grace

You're on the path to leading in your small group environment. Here are expectations to what God is calling you to do in leadership.

Groups season has kicked off and we are looking at the basics of leading in a small group environment.   

Our groups semester is just about to wrap up, and yours may be as well. Don't let the end of something good be the end of something that could be great. During the semester you may have built relationships and trust with your peers and we have come with some tips to keep that ball rolling until groups start again. Stay connected!! 

Is there someone in your group who may have leadership qualities? Perhaps they might not even see the leader in them. In this episode we help you identify that person and give you steps on how to lift them up to the calling of leadership. Just like how Jesus trained up His disciples to preach the Gospel around the world, we need to bring up others to keep the message of Christ going for generations. 

You may have had this happen a few times in your groups environments. The table is engaging then you get to the one person sitting quietly. Maybe its been this way since groups started. Or its the opposite and your table isn't engaging at all. How do we handle that? Our reaction is to poke until we get them talking. But in this episode we provide ways to properly approach... The Silent Type...

It's okay to laugh and joke. But what if there is a member in your group going through something and the jokes have gone left? In this episode we talk about how to deal with the comedian.

Everyone goes through hard times. Yes, your small group environment is a safe place to let things off of your chest. But sometimes it may take up the conversation, or last more than one session. Maybe the need is much bigger than you. Whatever the case, we talk about some practical ways to navigate that individual in a healthy way as to not hurt their feelings, but to guide them to the resources to help them thrive. While also building trust and a healthy relationship!

Hey everyone we are kicking off a series that highlights the unique qualities that some people in our groups environments may have. This episode we talk about the over talker. We all have dealt with this and our team today hopes to provide you with insight on how to respectfully deal with these situations. 

We have a great episode today. It was lost in the archives and was supposed to follow Tale of a Trashcan. But we all know how God works and can use things the way He sees fit. How has God shaken you? Let us know at [email protected]!

Groups are almost in full swing! In this episode we have compiled how prepare your flight checklist before takeoff. What to do during flight. And how to land efficiently.
