Top 10 Posts on Discipleship and Making Disciples in Groups

A fundamental question about small group ministry is, "What have you designed your small groups to do?" or "What have you designed your small groups to make?"

I have always believed that small group ministries with the right design (a) make it easy for unconnected people to get connected and (b) nearly automatic that they enter an environment designed for life-change. Neither design element happens without intentionality. Both design elements require deep empathy for the needs of the customer (both expressed and unexpressed needs).
