Whether full time, part time, or volunteer, the people who serve in a small-groups ministry have a lot on their plates. They're always busy, often tired, and sometimes completely burned out. That's why encouraging the practice of spiritual disciplines is so important. This download highlights the disciplines of fasting, confession, discernment, and journaling—practices that can provide focus and a foundation for small-group leaders, coaches, pastors, and members. It features content from noted experts such as Richard Foster, Frederica Matthews-Green, Lynne Baab, Gordon MacDonald, and others.
