Leading a small group Bible or book study?

Here are some tips from my Your Unfinished Business (available as paperback and Kindle) study guides.

• What’s said in the small group stays in the small group. Sharing personal thoughts can be an experience in vulnerability, so help each other by keeping confidences (within legal boundaries of course).
• Not everyone will say much. Sometimes, someone may want to listen more than speak, so don’t create expectations that everyone has to speak all the time.
• But don’t monopolize the discussion either. At times silence can be a useful time for people to think things through.
