173 new blog followers have come aboard in the last two weeks…welcome to the blog! I am thankful for all of you who have chosen to follow it. I also appreciate the way you have shared posts recently on social media through FaceBook and Twitter – you are helping other people discover that the blog exists, and I appreciate that. Please keep it up and share posts as you feel led.

Fridays are for sharing my faves – my favorite posts from friends and colleagues that can equip and encourage you in your service as a group leader, or the person who leads your church’s overall groups ministry.

Enjoy these posts. I’ll see you on Monday.

Shoulder to shoulder,

Ken Braddy
