No one is at fault:
- The exiting group member gets a new job that demands more time.
- The exiting group member gets a new job and her/his schedule changes.
- The exiting group member realizes there just isn’t chemistry between themselves and the rest of the group.
- The exiting group member leaves the small group to get involved in a support group or healing group.
- The exiting group member has been running hard and believes he/she needs a break from something and they choose to set group aside for a while.
The group may be at fault:
- The exiting group member wasn’t welcomed wholeheartedly by the group.
- The exiting group member had a conflictual situation with someone in the group and the group leader didn’t mediate a conversation leading to reconciliation.
- The exiting group member didn’t feel as though they were being heard during the Bible study conversation.
- The exiting group member had a need and made the group aware of it, but the group didn’t respond to the need.
- The exiting group member’s child had a problem with another group member’s child and rather than helping the children learn to forgive and forget the group (or someone in the group) insinuated that the exiting group member’s child was a problem child.
