• Do talk about the Bible story rather than other Bible passages.

• Do talk less than 30% of the time. Let others talk 70%.

• Do let the Holy Spirit work, rather than putting pressure on yourself to come up with all the right answers.

• Don’t preach or teach (God is speaking through all of us).

• Don’t talk about politics or other topics which are appealing, but not related to the Bible story.

• Don’t dominate the conversation; let everyone participate.

Group Leaders’ Dos and Don’ts

Group Growth

• Celebrate thanksgivings (amazing ways God is moving in people’s life)

• Keep it highly relational (focus on the relationships you’re building with each other, not the process)

• Keep it highly supernatural (pray for one another and believe God to move and celebrate when He does)

• Keep it focused on prayer (as the group evolves, take time to pray over people's struggles and pray for one another outside the group for God to continue to move)

• Keep it focused on going Deep: Experiencing Personal transformation! Because if you want to see God do something through you, He first has to do something in you.
