Northridge Groups

IF YOU ARE A NEW LEADER OR HAVE YET TO ATTEND A GROUP LEADER TRAINING EVENT, THIS BREAKOUT IS FOR YOU. WE’LL GO OVER THE RESPONSIBILITIES AND REQUIREMENTS OF LEADING AS WELL AS THE PRACTICAL NITTY GRITTY OF LEADING YOUR GROUP EACH WEEK.

What are the top five companies in the world? Apple, Amazon, Google, Microsoft, and Facebook. All five cooperate with one goal in mind - stealing your time and attention. Why is technology so addictive? How can we push back and find the time, energy and space for what truly matters?

Ever been there? You don’t know what to do. How do God’s will and God’s glory play into your decision making? Join us to find out.

It’s one thing to say we trust God, it’s another thing to live as if we do. Is it possible that it’s easier to trust God with our eternity than in the day- to-day? If so, what keeps us from trusting God, and how do we grow to trust Him more? In this breakout we’ll wrestle with this tension and give practical tips to help us to authentically say, “In God we trust.”

Everyone is wired differently, but there are struggles we all have in common. Do you ever feel like the time you spend in God’s Word isn’t helpful? Do you ever feel like you’re “wandering” through your reading, and just trying to focus for more than a few seconds? This breakout won’t fix those problems. But it will introduce you to the tool that changed the game for me - it’s the most important part of my spiritual growth process, and this breakout will lay out WHY it’s awesome for me, and HOW you could get started with it.

Do you have the desire to disciple others but are not sure how to start, or who to start with? Whether you are a new group leader or a seasoned veteran, this breakout will better equip you to intentionally and effectively begin to disciple one person, for God's glory, their good, and your joy!

How do you find new people for your group? How do you get them to attend? If they do attend, how do you get them to stick? We will attempt to answer those questions in this breakout.

Admit it! There are times as a leader you are frustrated with an individual who you feel you've poured loads of energy and attention into, but who doesn't seem particularly interested in changing. What is a leader to do with these individuals in their group? And what are the expectations on you as a leader for dealing with them? In this breakout we will explore how to handle those who show little or no progress in their spiritual lives.
