Quick Tip: By now you've probably met with your small group at least once. Remember to treat these discussions more like a book club than a traditional Bible study. Resist the urge to get hung up on debates over interpretation. Instead, give your fellow travelers space to react to the story as they experience it. 

Enjoy the journey,
