Description
Authors Tara Miller and Jenn Peppers believe that people are too smart for “how-to” manuals and “data dump” training sessions. Experience has taught them that training should be very interactive. Facilitators should not take control of the learning but rather trust that learning will happen in break-out group conversations through the Holy Spirit. Getting a group of facilitators together in a room for training is difficult, but worth the effort. When facilitators start sharing stories of what’s happening in their small groups with each other it builds momentum, alliances, passion and helps people clarify the vision for their small group.
Following the course set out in the book Finding the Flow, training is done in 8 modules:
- The water source: knowing yourself
- Charting the course: stages of group life
- Exploring the undercurrents: listening to God and others
- Stirring the waters: asking good questions
- Rocks in the riverbed: navigating conflict
- Creating new streams: developing new leaders
- The river widening: spiritual transformation
- Packing the boat: getting started
Included in this small group leader training package is:
- a PowerPoint presentation
- a detailed facilitator guide for yourself
- reproducible participant guides
