Episode 2: Strengthening the Marriages in your Small Group

In this episode of the Real Life Group Leadership Podcast, host Chris Short welcomes Bill Krause – Real Life Family Pastor and Sara Short – Groups Team Leader at the Post Falls Campus. Their discussion is centered on how you, as a Small Group Leader, can help encourage and strengthen the marriages of those in your group. Both Bill and Sara bring a wealth of experience to the topic, and they each have a unique perspective that will give you different tools to put into play right away as you shepherd your group.

Some of the things they address are:

What kind of impact do small groups have on marriages?
What impact does serving in ministry have on a marriage?
How can a small group strengthen the marriages of its members?
What part does the leader play?
What happens if group members are not transparent about their marriage struggles? How can you as a leader dig a little deeper?
What are you asking from me as a leader? Am I expected to be a marriage counselor?
How should group leaders respond in a reactive situation?
What do you do if a member expects you to take on their problems for them?
