One of the things we are passionate about as a ministry is small groups.
The books I write are designed to be studied in small groups.
After every class in the seminars, we provide handouts with guided discussion questions to be answered in the context of small groups. It brings the lessons to a much more personal and practical level, rather than just the theoretical with examples I have shared during the teaching.
By opening up in the setting of small groups, we learn from each other’s perspectives and grow in our relationships with God and one another.
Another of the other vital aspects of small groups is prayer.
By praying together, we help carry each other’s burdens (Gal. 6:2), spur one another on (Heb. 10:24), rejoice with those who rejoice and mourn with those who mourn (Rom. 12:15).
Prayer forges bonds that Satan cannot break.

Other Monday mornings, her text awakens me and it takes a moment for my brain to kick into gear and process my thoughts and prayers. However, there are other Monday mornings in which her text frustrates me.
