What Most Small Group Leaders Get Wrong | Bible Study Training

In this video, we break down one of the biggest misconceptions about leading a small group or Bible study—and how it may be quietly holding your group back. Most leaders think they need to have all the answers, fix people’s problems, or be the most “spiritual” person in the room. But that mindset leads to pressure, burnout, and shallow group conversations. The truth? Your role is completely different—and when you understand it, everything changes. Your group goes deeper. People grow faster. And leading becomes far more life-giving. In this training, you’ll discover: What a small group leader is NOT (and why it matters) The 3 biggest mistakes group leaders make A healthier, more effective way to lead your group How to create space for real spiritual growth and transformation If you're leading a small group—or thinking about starting one—this will completely reframe how you lead. 🙏 Want to grow as a group leader?
