A major element of being a small group leader is facilitating good conversations.  In these conversations, people bond as a group, process Scripture, and discuss thoughts and actions.  This guide will give you ideas on how to keep discussions moving.  Remember, it’s a good idea to change things up occasionally, instead of going around in a circle every time.

  1. Think, Pair, Share 
  2. Journal Time

  5. I’ll Go First
