As small group leaders, we know that keeping everyone engaged during Bible study can be a challenge. Is the traditional lecture-style Bible study the most effective way to communicate God's Word, or is there a better way to engage and connect with the diverse learning styles within your group? In this episode of Disciple-making in Community, host Ken Braddy and guest Peter Burmeister discuss the importance of moving beyond the lecture method in Bible study groups. Together, they explore more interactive and engaging approaches to teaching, helping you create a more dynamic and participatory learning environment. 

The conversation also highlights the challenges Bible study leaders face when implementing new teaching methods and offers practical advice for overcoming those obstacles. Whether you're trying to engage quieter group members or keep discussions from growing stagnant, this episode provides valuable insights to help you enhance both engagement and retention in your Bible studies.
