More topics were discussed on this podcast episode than any other. Jay had heard Alex tell church guests about groups, and was eager to host him and Chandra on the podcast along with Chris Amaro, of course. Here's what all we discussed: merging people with differing life stages or circumstances into a group, how Alex uses the Group Guide to prepare to lead a session, Shawn Ryan's journey and long podcasts, why people need community, dealing with levels of participation in groups, volunteers enlisting volunteers, special-needs families, welcoming, a posture of serving and how it changes everything, and probably a few more things! Listen in for some ideas about making your group great!
