Small Groups

My wife and I lead a couples small group through our church. We recently started another small group since the one we started last year split because 2 of the couples started hosting their own groups. So far, all 3 groups are going strong.
We always start our small groups with sharing our testimonies and how God is working in our lives. My wife & I go first since we have plenty of skeletons in the closet. Without getting into names & details, here are some themes from our current group and past groups.
  • The church failed miserably for my generation as we grew up, regardless of denomination, by not making God seem real.
  • People have real, deep hurts that you would never know about just looking at the surface. All is not as it seems.
  • God is currently changing lives and working in people's lives to repair past hurts.
  • A relevant church can reintroduce people to the God that actually cares.
  • I'm glad to be a part of small groups and look forward to how good is going to work in all our lives.
