Watch Out For The Land Mines: Selecting a Study
Description
Have you ever felt like your small group is running in circles or being pulled down by the weight of a poorly picked study? That's where I found myself, grappling with my group's fixation on the Book of Revelation. This episode is my roadmap to navigating such challenges. We will walk through the treacherous path of selecting the right study for small group growth, unity, and wisdom, and we'll touch on why this choice can make or break the group's dynamic.
But choosing a study isn't a shot in the dark. We delve into four decision-making approaches: command, consult, vote, and consensus, each one offering its advantages and pitfalls. We will also introduce and evaluate different study types - sermon-based, platform-based, book-based, and Bible-based. By the end, you'll be equipped with the knowledge and foresight to pick studies that work best for your group, avoiding those that can be a drain or even a landmine. Whether you are leading one group or dozens, this episode will arm you with valuable insights to cultivate unity and foster growth.
