5. Focus is key. A few rabbit trails are OK, but you want to always keep steering the conversation back toward the finish line.

6. God’s Word is the answer. You always want to land on the truth of God’s Word, so it’s OK to say, “I don’t know the answer to that question right now, but I will ask someone and report back next week.”

Post-Meeting

Most life-change opportunities will occur outside of the normal meeting times, so it’s important for the group to stay connected throughout the week. Here are a few tools that can help keep the group on the same page:

7. Email prayer lists help keep needs in front of group members during the week.

8. Private Facebook pages are great for keeping the conversation going between meetings. You can also plan social events and missional opportunities on the page.

9. Group texting apps like GroupMe, are helpful for sending immediate needs and last minute meeting changes to everyone.

With a few tools and the Holy Spirit’s guidance, you are ready for an amazing, life-changing Bible study experience.
