This presentation was given at the small group leader training of the Summit Church on August 17, 2024.
If you want to learn more about guiding a group through its stages of development, consider reading Facilitating Counseling Groups (New Growth Press, 2024). This book is part of the Church-Based Counseling series in which I strive to help churches think holistically, from one another care to formal ministries, about counseling in the church.
Note: Facilitating is primarily about leading counseling groups, that is groups with an intensive focus on a particular life struggle. This presentation is an adaptation of Section 3 of Facilitating to a general discipleship group.
