Real Life Groups Leadership Podcast: Season 2 Ep 6 – The 5 Stages of Group Development

In today’s episode, our guests represent over 40 Life Groups at our Post Falls Campus – Sara Short and Jesse Hill join host Chris Short to talk about the different stages of a Group.  In this conversation they bring up why these stages are needed in a group, how you can determine what stage your group is in, and how to navigate them through that stage.  Here are some of highlights of their discussion.

 

  • Where did the idea of group stages come from?
  • What are the 5 stages and how can you tell what one your group is in?
  • What are some of the indicators you should be looking for?
  • The different stages: Forming, Storming, Norming, Ministering and Multiplying.
  • How do the stages correlate with Real Life Ministries SCMD process?
  • What are some things that can stall group growth?
  • Why is the Storming stage important to further growth?
  • Why does the Norming stage have the potential to be harmful to a group?
  • Where do we see these stages in the Early Church?
