On this week’s episode, Brian and Chris join Daniel Im, the Director of Church Multiplication for newchurches.com. Brian, Chris, and Daniel discuss the following points:
- You are only one step away from unlocking new levels of maturity and growth for your church.
- You are more apt to join a small group if you are personally connected to a group member.
- There are no “silver bullets,” or magic solutions, for a church’s groups ministry.
- We must be wary of the existence of “discipleship whiplash” within our church and group leaders.
- Sometimes a church’s metrics to determine growth are more harmful than helpful.
- We must view goals for our small groups as means, not ends.
