You are my heroes.
Pastors, directors of group ministries, group leaders, and even group members all follow this blog. Thousands of you receive weekly posts from me about group ministry in the local church. I’ve released over 100 free blog posts in 2025, and since 2010 when I began this blog, I’ve authored close to 2000 posts to help you lead your church’s group ministry, or your own Bible study group. It’s been a privilege!
I’m taking a break from now through New Years, and I will begin blogging again on January 6. I hope you have a Merry Christmas, one that is Christ-centered and full of family and friends.
Thank you for teaching, leading, praying for, and serving your church members and your community. As a friend of mine often says, “Keep up the God work”!
See you next year!

Thank you, Ken, for helping us all so faithfully throughout the year. It was great meeting you in August in Huntsville.
We are kicking off 2026 with quarterly leader training (opposed to once-a-year) and will spend each quarter breaking down a section of “Break Through”. I can’t wait.
Have a wonderful Christmas season.
Sincerely,
