Why Purpose Driven Small Groups Thrive

How can small groups facilitate spiritual growth? Oliver Hersey explores that question with Ryan Hartwig, Courtney Davis and Jason Sniff, authors of Leading Small Groups That Thrive: 5 Shift to Take Your Group to the Next Level.. They gathered data from churches, to learn how much small groups impacted people's spiritual growth. For example, small groups with a clearly defined purpose have more longevity. They also disprove common misconceptions about small groups: the ideal number of group members, and the secret to creating spaces to see people really grow and change. Courtney shares about her time in a small group that lacked enough substance to sustain the group. You'll walk away from this episode with a clear sense of how to define a purpose for your small group in 2020 and beyond.
