WHY WE USE SMALL GROUPS
• Shift from telling them everything to helping them think.
• Helps them translate information to application.
• Helps them move from theory to reality.
• Allows them the opportunity for involvement and peer interaction.

WHY WE USE SMALL GROUPS
• Helps them see options and clarify their position.
• Allows them to experience care and support in a safe environment.
• Moves from making them drink from a fire hose to leading them to the edge of a deep well.
• Provides the opportunity for real life change.

LEADING EFFECTIVE SMALL GROUPS
MARK 8:27-30
Small groups as “on the way” experiences
![Page 11: Practice discipleship webinar 5](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022081420/555564a0b4c90530208b5566/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
‘The Gospel writers were not focused on making an academic case or solving the problem of who Jesus was. They were out to convey a message about the mystery of God being revealed in human form and inviting people to experience the mystery they were a part of. You figure out a puzzle, you solve a problem but you kneel in a mystery.’
- Leonard Sweet
