In Matthew 28, Jesus commands us “to make disciples”—people who follow the teaching of Jesus. As pastors and church leaders, we are to teach people how to put into practice everything Jesus taught us.
I have been a lead or teaching pastor for 40 years, and I can attest to the fact that while preaching sermons is an important component of discipleship, small groups are where life happens. Small group leaders must be equipped not only to host a gathering, but also to facilitate discipleship.
I’ve partnered with ChurchSource to share with you some tools and ideas I’ve developed over four decades of ministry because I’ve seen time and time again that when the proper tools and support structures are in place for leaders to thrive, church ministry can be incredibly fulfilling and effective for the Kingdom. A lack of tools and support can lead to a lot of stress, anxiety, and burnout. ChurchSource and I are here to come alongside you to help lighten your load as you lead God’s people.
Most small groups get this wrong.
You know that feeling when you finish the last episode of a TV show, and spend the next 40 frustrating minutes scrolling for what's next? Your small group feels it every six weeks. You said yes to leading a group so you could disciple people—not so you could spend countless hours hunting for the next study.
Your Year, Mapped Out
Join me for a workshop where I share what I’ve learned about small group discipleship, intentionality, planning, and the resources available to you that will take the guesswork and stress out of leading—and discipling—a Bible study group.
This free 30-minute training gives every leader in your church a curated, year-long discipleship pathway for their group. Join pastor, author, and leadership mentor Randy Frazee for a free training that will equip you as a small group leader to facilitate spiritual growth in your group, plan your year ahead with confidence and purpose, reduce your stress with expert guidance, and decrease the time you spend planning so you can focus on your people.
