Saturday was the last installment of my “Do’s and Don’ts of Leading Bible Study”<\/span><\/em> series. I’ve decided to create this short post to aggregate all the different entries in the series:<\/p>\n

Part 1: Preparation<\/a>
\nPart 2: Beginning the meeting<\/a>
\nPart 3: Starting the discussion<\/a>
\nPart 4: Fostering discussion<\/a>
\nPart 5: Tricky issues<\/a>
\nPart 6: Concluding thoughts<\/a><\/p>\n

Bonus: Feedback #1<\/a><\/em>
\nBonus: Feedback #2<\/a><\/em>
\nBonus: Feedback #3<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n

I have used this blog series to capture some of my experience in leading Bible study, as well as record some of the hard lessons I’ve had to learn. It is my hope that this will be a useful resource for anyone new to leading a Bible study group, such as the many new people we’ve recently had leading in the\u00a0JP2 Group<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

DO: Be welcoming…just not too<\/span> much…<\/p><\/div>\n

When I began this series, I had hoped that there would be more discussion. Unfortunately, despite these posts getting a large number of hits, there was fairly little feedback\u00a0in the Comment Boxes.<\/p>\n

Therefore, over the next few days I’m going to be emailing this<\/em> post to everyone I know who has been involved in leading Bible studies, discussion groups or are involved in leadership in some kind of way \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

I invite you to do the same \ud83d\ude00<\/p>\n

Even if you’re not a Bible study leader, what have been some good experiences and bad experiences you’ve had in a Bible study group? <\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

What, in your opinion, makes for a good Bible study?<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
