25 Ways to Win With People
by John C. Maxwell and Les Parrott, PH.D.

Good Questions Have Groups Talking by Josh Hunt




 A huge predictor of the growth of any class is the people skills of the teacher. A huge predictor of success in any arena of life are people skills. Every relationship we have will go better as we practice these 25 Ways. 

There are 25 chapters and thus 25 lessons of this book. I would recommend that you do 2 or 3 lessons each session so that you complete the study in about 8 or 12 weeks.

I would also recommend that you let the teachers do the teaching--you take a turn, but let each of them take a turn. If they are invested in teaching they will be more likely to participate and get more out of the study. Also, the group will benefit from hearing from various teaching styles of your teachers.

These lessons are free.

How to Create Spiritually Vibrant People

We all know that groups help people grow spiritually. Jesus grew his disciples in a group, and we must follow His example. To quote a line from Andy Stanley, "Disciples are made in a circle."

But, what EXACTLY happens in a small group that helps people to grow? Specifically. . .

  • I like application-oriented teaching, but can we demonstrate that application-oriented teaching actually helps people grow?

  • I like discussion-oriented small groups, but do discussion-oriented small groups actually produce spiritually vibrant people any better than lecture groups?

  • Does being loved by the teacher and members of the group actually produce spiritually vibrant people?

I am seeking to answer these questions and others with the new survey on spiritual vibrancy. I’d like to invite you to fill out the survey. All of the questions relate to what happens in a small group, so please only respond if you are currently in a Sunday School class or small group.

P.S.

I have two other surveys currently running, one for teacher/leaders of groups, the other for group participants. If you have not filled out these surveys, I’d invite you to do that as well.
