A sweet follower asked me all about our small group, which inspired this episode, and I couldn’t wait to share with all of you! Over the past 8 years, my husband and I, along with our dear friends Debra and Bobby, have had the privilege of hosting and leading a marriage-focused Bible study small group.
In this conversation, I’m opening up about what our small group looks like week to week, how we structure meals, what we’ve studied, and the impact this community has had on us and the couples we’ve walked alongside. Whether you’re thinking about starting your own church small group or you’re just curious about how others do it, I hope this gives you both encouragement and practical ideas!
WHAT YOU’LL HEAR IN THIS EPISODE:
The story of how our small group started and why we’ve continued for 8 years

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist
It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
