How much time do you spend preparing a study for your small group? In my experience, most small group leaders spend a disproportionate amount of their prep time on the study. I know I’ve done this—especially when I feel I’m short on time. I do it because the study time feels like the one time […]

In this book, Lencioni outlines five problems that many teams face, and every dysfunction grows from the root cause of distrust. […]
