At the Re:Group Leader Training for our Community Group Leaders on September 12th 2021, Drew Karschner shared updates and info about what God has been up to at Northridge in 2021, and addressed a tension we all may experience in our mission to make both More and Better disciples.
- What level of care can you and your group realistically be expected to provide?
- How do you provide care without burning yourself out?
- What do you do when care issues go way past what you feel capable of handling?
Jason DeGraaff (Pastor of Spiritual Formation) and Adam Congdon (Counseling Pastor) address these questions and share ideas on how to effectively provide care for your group.
Miss the Breakouts?
YOU CAN FIND THE AUDIO, NOTES, AND PRESENTATION SLIDES BELOW.
What do you do when someone in your group makes a bad relationship decision? Whether it is dating an unbeliever, living with their boyfriend, sleeping with their girlfriend, or dating while in the process of getting a divorce. This breakout will give you a Biblical framework for how to think about these issues and practical steps on how to carefully address them with the members of your group.
Have you ever experienced group members who are not only spiritually immature, but who also have very little desire to grow spiritually? How do you lead your group members from spiritual infancy to a growing faith?
Anxiety and depression are not just common struggles of our group members, they are an epidemic. In fact, you may put yourself in this category. Whether or not you've experienced this yourself, how do you help those in your group who are going through a season of darkness?
How do you care for the people in your group who's needs go beyond what anyone seems capable of providing?
Whether or not you have any formal training, education, or experience in counseling, this breakout will help you build a framework that anyone can use to provide Biblical care and counsel as we aim to lovingly walk side by side with our brothers and sisters in Christ.
If you are a new leader, considering leadership, or you've never attended at Group Leader Training at Northridge, this breakout is for you. We'll go over the responsibilities and requirements of leading as well as the practical nitty gritty of leading your group each week.
