Welcome back to another great episode of Disciple-Making Community with host Ken Braddy. On today's show, Scott McConnell, the author of the book 'Together: The Power of Groups.' They discuss the importance of discipleship within the context of smaller groups and the benefits of being in a group. They also explore the reasons people do and don't participate with groups. Scott emphasizes the need for strong ties and community in the church and challenges listeners to recognize God's design for us to follow Him together with other believers.

Scott McConnell has researched the needs and preferences of church leaders, laity, and the unchurched for Lifeway Christian Resources for over 25 years. His in-depth studies and national polls have generated relevant insights on today’s church and culture. Scott received a Bachelor of Science in Economics degree in Marketing and Strategic Management from the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania. For 15 years, Scott has led Lifeway Research’s national polling that regularly measures the views of Americans, churchgoers, and Protestant pastors. His team has conducted numerous in-depth research studies designed to help church leaders.
