Michael C. Mack (@michaelcmack) tweets “Small Group Leader TIPS of the Day” every weekday. Here are seven tips on facilitating a great group meeting:

10_BP_MM“¢Â  Don”™t be the small group answer man or woman. Let group members experience aha moments.

“¢Â  Become comfortable answering questions with, “I don”™t know, but let”™s all find out this week.”

“¢Â  As you study God”™s Word together, “remember, it is sin to know what you ought to do and then not do it.”

“¢Â  Try different approaches to Bible study (e.g., read various “I will” statements of God and discuss/apply).

“¢Â  Try this: Study a “one another” passage from the New Testament each week and find specific ways of doing each one.

“¢Â  Tell group members to find a Bible verse on a topic (i.e., leadership) and come to the next meeting ready to discuss it.

“¢Â  Ask, what can we learn/apply as a GROUP from this Bible passage?

There is no doubt that we at The Solomon Foundation really believe in this movement and that we put our resources and energy to work every day to help the person in a hard and resistant urban environment, the ministry volunteer in a rural church virtually invisible to the world outside of its community, the preacher trying to figure out how to connect more effectively to the community while lifting up the name of Jesus, and the church leadership wanting to reach out to new communities through multi-site. We don’t just believe in this movement; we believe in you! 

New Discoveries on Medical Care for Transgender Youth

by

Gender dysphoria is real. To treat them with anything less than compassion is not Christian. What is up for debate is the efficacy of the current practices in transgender healthcare for youth. Recently, England released a scathing review that challenges the established gender affirming care model.
