Leading Small Groups
Leading a small group discussion is an art, not a science. The sciences depend on predictable results: 1 + 2 = 3, and will continue to do so evening if the dinner burns, the rain falls, or if the boss gives you a raise. Whereas, if you ask a person a “how was your day”, you could get completely different results on two different days. This article aims to look at some principles that will help in leading discussions.
The Small Group Learning Experience
Often we think of learning as a very personal or private activity. One person locks themself into a room with some resources in order to research and understand a particular topic or issue. While this can be a very effective way of deepening our grasp of a particular subject, it’s not an effective method of leading us to life-changing learning. If we are to be faithful servants of Jesus, then we need to be more interested in deepening our transformation than acquiring more information.
