Being part of a small group can be a bit like climbing a mountain—it has risks but the payoff is immense. That is why this second book in the Leading From Your Strengths series compares the journey of building intimacy in your small group to that of a mountain climbing expedition.
Just like climbing Mount Everest, climbing the mountain to intimacy in your small group involves five stages, or camps. You begin at your “base camp” commitment, and then move through the various stages of honesty, acceptance, closeness, and finally reach the mountain’s peak of intimacy.The Ministry Insights team will be your expedition guide on your climb as you learn to leverage your strengths for effective and successful small group experiences.
This book should be read by every small group member that desires intimacy in their small group and is an excellent resource for group study and discussion. Consider how intimacy can help your small group:
- See your God-given strengths in detail
- Increase personal and mutual understanding
- Decrease interpersonal conflict among small group members
- Learn how others are motivated
- Increase productivity with accurate expectations
- Assess how your strengths complement those closest to you
- Assess and compare how you best communicate with others
- Learn the best ways to blend your differences with others
- Uncover the ideal ministry environment for your most effective service
