If you're a small group leader, you believe in the power of community. You know that every stage and phase of life needs a unique kind of influence. But what exactly do you do? What exactly is your job? It's possible that you may feel lost at times, like your role falls somewhere between a parent and a friend, a coach and a teacher. But remember, you aren't supposed to be any of those things. You are a little of all of those things. Small groups come in many sizes. Those who wear diapers. Those who watch Disney. Those who are learning to drive. Those who are picking a college. Lead Small: Five Big Ideas Every Small Group Leader Needs to Know clarifies the responsibilities of the small group leader who works with children and teenagers. It establishes five common threads so that those who choose to lead in any size church can work off the same blueprint. When you lead small, you realize that what you do for a few has more potential than what you do for many. When you lead small, you choose to invest in the lives of a few to encourage authentic faith. With personal insight and practical advice, Reggie Joiner and Tom Shefchunas will show you how to do something small for a big impact.

Leading a conversation with a small group of teenage guys isn't always easy. Sometimes they talk too much, way too much. Sometimes they don't talk enough. And sometimes you're pretty sure your volunteer training didn't quite prepare you for the sort of things they'd like to talk about. Actually, if you've been a small group leader for at least five minutes, you probably already know what it's like for a small group conversation to totally bomb. So if you've ever looked at your small group of guys and wished you knew what to say, what not to say, when to speak, when to listen, how to make them talk, how to make them stop talking, then this book is for you. The Art of Group Talk helps small group leaders like you have better conversations with teenage guys. Because, as a small group leader, you lead a conversation with them every single week. Conversations about their lives, their dreams, their friends, their imaginary friends, and their definitely-not friends. And sometimes you even manage to lead conversations about faith. This is a book to remind you that your small group conversations (even the ones that don't go exactly as planned) really matter. But there are a few ways to make your conversations matter even more. With personal insight and practical advice, Jeremy Zach and Tom Shefchunas will help you discover helpful tips and strategies for leading conversations with your small group of teenage guys.
