Planned disruption
Meeting to serve.
Try putting your Bible study aside for the night and serving at a local soup kitchen. Or going shopping for your neighbor with three kids whose husband just left. Or going on a full-fledged mission trip together.
Game night.
Nothing reveals the depravity of the human heart quite like game night. Gloves come off, ribbing begins and friends turn on each other. All is fair in love and war … but not in a game of Cranium.
The tough saying/hard question.
“What’s God calling you to do with this?” “How are you going to obey Jesus with this today?” “Why does God ask us to ____?” Wrestling through difficult questions and hard sayings builds community. Plan these question-bombs wisely.
Watch for disruptions. They’ll either rip the fabric of your group apart … or weave it together into beautiful community.
