Do small groups really work? If you've led or even been part of a small group, the experience can be frustrating. How do you juggle priorities and personalities? How can you tell what individuals want or need from the group? And how do you even get people to clear an hour in their schedule to show up? What's meant to bring life can become dry, stale and ineffective. Tara Miller and Jenn Peppers, experienced small-group facilitators and trainers, have observed and had the same questions and frustrations. But they've also experienced the power small groups have to help people heal, to allow individuals to wrestle with questions, to create a space where people know and are known by others, and to open people up to encounter God more deeply. So in these pages, Miller and Peppers passionately offer help and hope for your small group, so that you can encounter God in new and deeper ways together. Their honest, nonprogrammatic guide <ul>
<li>provides exercises and reflection questions throughout and at the end of each chapter to help you process the material and then actually work it into your group</li>
<li>includes many real-life stories from the authors' wide-ranging experience with small groups</li>
<li>points out common obstacles that keep leaders from being able to follow the Spirit effectively--and ways you can avoid or overcome them</li>
<li>equips you with skills that will draw people toward Christ in authentic ways</li>
</ul> As you read and reflect on the authors' practical and life-giving ideas, you'll learn to listen to God and others, guide groups through conflict, know yourself better, and create space for the Spirit to work during your group time. Developing these skills will prepare you to lead any small group, no matter what kind or setting. Finding the Flow overflows with fresh water so that you can be refreshed, encouraged and equipped to help others in small groups drink deeply of the riches of life in Christ as you encounter him together.

Finding the Flow: A guide for leading small groups and gatherings

You want to make a difference for the Kingdom of God, but you’re not a pastor or a missionary, just an ordinary believer. Good news, you can serve as a Barnabas!A Barnabas creates a ripple effect, empowering others and spreading outward into the broader community. Just as Barnabas empowered Paul, and Paul empowered Timothy, you can have an impact that multiplies far beyond yourself.Barnabas was someone who, instead of taking center stage himself, empowered others. Becoming Barnabas focuses on practical – how – questions:– How can you serve as a Barnabas – a son or daughter of encouragement?– How can you disciple, develop, and support those around you?– How can that relational investment lead to a powerful impact on the church and on the surrounding community?This book is about the Barnabases in our world: the people who are instrumental in developing others, the people we haven’t heard of, the people who are rarely in the spotlight themselves but make that spotlight a reality for others.By learning about the quiet but tremendous power of Barnabas ministry, you can make a difference for the Kingdom of God.

Usted quiere hacer una diferencia para el Reino de Dios, pero no es pastor ni misionero, sólo un creyente ordinario. Hay buenas noticias - usted puede servir como un Bernabé. Un Bernabé crea un efecto dominó, empodera a otros y se extiende hacia la comunidad más amplia. De la misma manera que Bernabé empoderó a Pablo, y Pablo empoderó a Timoteo, usted puede tener un impacto que se multiplique mucho más allá de usted mismo. Bernabé era alguien que, en vez de ponerse en primer plano, empoderaba a otros. Hacerse Bernabé se centra en las preguntas prácticas de “¿cómo?”: • ¿Cómo puede usted servir como un Bernabé – un hijo o una hija de aliento? • ¿Cómo puede discipular, desarrollar y apoyar a los que le rodean?• ¿Cómo puede conducir esa inversión relacional a un impacto poderoso en la iglesia y en la comunidad circundante? Este libro trata de los Bernabés el nuestro mundo: las personas que desempeñan un papel decisivo en el desarrollo de otros, las personas de las que no hemos oído hablar, las personas que raramente son los focos de atención ellos mismos, pero que aseguran que ese foco de atención sea una realidad para otros.Usted puede hacer una diferencia para el Reino de Dios una vez que llegue a conocer el poder silencioso pero tremendo del ministerio de Bernabé.

Where did Grandma go when she died? Why doesn’t God stop bad things from happening? Many parents have experienced a child asking difficult spiritual questions-- usually at inopportune moments. While we stumble around trying to think of an answer, we feel inadequate... and sometimes startled by their questions. If you’re like most adults, you try your hardest to avoid thinking much about questions like these. So why on earth is a child asking you about them? We talk with our children about the importance of school work, about physical health, about how to navigate social difficulties. We even talk with them about sex, drugs, and internet safety... or if we don’t, we know we should. So why do we find it so difficult to talk with children about God? Whether you are a parent, grandparent, teacher, foster parent, or other caregiver, this is a book to help you engage with the children in your life about their spiritual needs.
