Spiritual confusion isn’t coming—it’s already here.Society’s definitions for family, spirituality, and even truth are different than they were ten years ago. Because these changes affect the people in your church, you need a different perspective for small-group ministry. In
A Different Kind of Tribe, author and small-groups expert Rick Howerton explains what has changed, offers a new approach, and equips you to succeed. You will discover:
- What leadership traits the new small-group leader must have
- How to start groups that are more about making disciples than assimilating people into church life
- Why it’s important for groups to live out a missions mindset
- What holds small-group members captive and how to set them free
Change is already here. By understanding this new paradigm, you’ll be prepared to better serve small-group members now and in the future.
