SUMMARY: In this episode, Brian and Rick speak with Dwayne McCrary, the team leader for adult and young adult group resources at Lifeway, about how and why church staff and group leaders should develop themselves in the principles of leadership. Dwayne shares his methods for selecting reading material aimed at leadership development and explains how church leaders can glean truth from leadership principles in contexts outside of the church. Dwayne also discusses how church leaders who are focused on continuing to learn and grow can produce a ripple effect that can benefit the entire church culture.

In addition, Brian and Rick discuss a blog post by Bob Mayfield titled 6 Teaching Methods Every Small Group Leader Should Know, and Rick shares his list of 5 reason it may be the wrong time to multiply a group.
