STIR: Authentic Transformation in Small Groups

A little more than a month ago I had the opportunity to preview a Willow Creek Association resource that I think you’re going to want to purchase for your small group leader training library.  STIR: Authentic Transformation in Small Groups Kit is a collection of six outstanding 30 minute sessions featuring a great list of speakers on a set of topics that can be used as ongoing training or a half or full-day event.

Great pricing?  Originally offered at $129.99, they’re available right now at $49.00.  Even better?  Enter the special code and get a seat in the online LIFT course offered in April (by itself a $225.00 value!).  A great deal at $49.00.  An awesome deal when you realize it includes the online course that features its own all-star cast (seriously, you have got to see who’s on this list).  Take advantage of this deal right here.

Along with a reproducible guide for participants and a separate guide for your facilitating ministry leader, STIR features the following speakers and topics:

• Leading From a Healthy Soul. Mindy Caliguire, Director of Transformation Ministry at the Willow Creek Association and Founder of Soul Care.
• Safe People/Dangerous Groups. Henry Cloud, PhD., Clinical Psychologist and Best-Selling Author
  
• Flawed Is the New Perfect. Heather Zempel, Discipleship Pastor at National Community Church
  
• Responding to Flaws: Case Studies. Russ Robinson, Speaker and Author.
  
• The Word Became FRESH. Bill Donahue, PhD., Speaker and Author.
  
• A Conversation About Inspiring Others to Lead. Mindy Caliguire and Mac Lake, Chief Launch Officer, The Launch Network
  

Can you see how this might fit in your leader training concept?  This is a great resource.  I highly recommend it.  You might buy it because of the price.  You’ll use it because it’s just good stuff.
