As leaders one of the greatest challenges we face can be well-meaning people that can accidentally (or purposefully) hijack the group experience at the detriment of the rest of the members. In this episode we'll be talking about 4 different types of group hijackers and how to navigate them for the best results.

1. The Talking Hijacker
2. The Emotional Hijacker
3. The Leader Hijacker
4. The Doctrine Hijacker

In this episode: Ryan Smith (Olathe), Blake Finuf (South OP), and Samantha Dorsey (North OP)

Guiding Scripture: Ephesians 4:2-4

We know, we know, such a negative title right? But do we have your attention? : ) In this episode we'll be diving into 5 ways that we have seen even good groups get ruined if the leader is not careful. Those are...

1. Allowing an unsafe environment
2. Moving at the Wrong Speed
3. Only getting together for meetings
4. Being a discussion killer
5. Staying together for too long

Additionally, Len Svensson mentions a book that is a great help for coming up with great questions as you study the Bible with your group. HERE is a link for that.

So you've got deep community in your group...good for you! So many groups don't experience that so it should be celebrated. As part of that community, sometimes tension comes when we try to engage our group in spiritual growth and even raise the bar for our group spiritually. When that happens, what should we do? Our hope is that this episode brings some practical steps to determine what questions to ask and how to decide what to do next.
