small group leader

Where can we find good small group Bible studies? What small group curriculum should our groups study? These are questions I frequently get asked at small group workshops and in conversations with pastors.

Leading a youth small group can be tough! Whether you’re a full-time, part-time or volunteer youth worker, you’ve certainly experienced difficulties in a youth small group.

One of my greatest obstacles has been learning how to best lead myself and to do so with greater spiritual intensity. Here are three quick takeaways that could challenge you for leading yourself spiritually.

Why do you think you lack the ability to lead?

If you have a dysfunctional small group, keep in mind that Jesus’ small group was a mess. It was often dysfunctional...except for its leader of course.

There's one word you can use that has been proven to make a big difference in communicating with children, helping them grasp what you're teaching and seeing them think about the subject on a deeper level.

How intentional is your bible study group? Creating opportunities for people to form community, friendship, and biblical connection doesn’t just happen. If you're not intentional, other qualities could end up characterizing your community.

A clear purpose drives what the leader does as he or she performs in that role.
