Leading a small group is one of the most rewarding things you can do in ministry, but let’s be real—it can also be a little intimidating. Maybe you’re wondering how to get students to actually talk (instead of just staring at you in silence), or you’re trying to figure out how to balance fun with real discipleship. I get it—leading a small group can feel like a lot, but it doesn’t have to be complicated!
In this episode, I’m sharing 8 tips that will help you create a space where students feel safe, seen, and excited to grow in their faith. We’ll talk about things like setting expectations, asking better questions, and what to do when the conversation totally flops. Whether you’re brand new to leading or you’ve been at it for years, these practical tips will help you lead with confidence and actually enjoy the process.
