Dallas Small Groups Conference · 2-minute demo
Practice the hard conversations before they are real.
Try one leadership moment. Get immediate feedback. See how you could equip your own leaders.
01 · The moment
“Are we not healthy already?”
You lead a Thursday small group. Friendship is strong. Study and prayer often get squeezed out.
You suggest making more room for study and prayer, and serving a local family. Rhonda, a longtime member and former host, asks:
“So I guess I do not understand what problem we are fixing. Are we not healthy already?”
Rhonda cares about the group. How could you honor that care and invite her into one next step?
Where this practice comes from
Adapted from Build Groups leader training, “What a Healthy Group Is and Is Not,” and the workbook’s Healthy Groups teaching (pages 34–38). Rhonda’s dialogue is fictional course content, not a quotation from the book.
Healthy groups make room for fellowship, study and prayer according to their season. Strong friendship is something to build on.
