I think this is excellent, Mark. A very helpful article for group leaders.

On your first Key, I would add that group leaders need to evaluate the study material they are using and pre-select the questions/activities that are going to be most helpful for their group members. And skip the questions that you don’t feel will be helpful.

Many leaders feel pressure to cover all the questions, which usually leads to superficial discussion. Much better to spend the majority of your group’s time on the key issues.
