Step Up? Step Aside? Step Back? With Special Guest Melton Weaver

In this episode my friend Melton Weaver - Small Groups Ministry consultant and a Group Leader himself - from Lafayette, LA joins the show for another episode where we are going to talk about how we help small group leaders think through whether they should be leading a small group in this season. 

Sometimes taking a step back is the "easy" sounding thing to do, and sometimes it is the right thing...but WHAT IF - God is trying to do something different in this season. 

Listen in - and let us know your thoughts too!

Bearing One Another's Burdens - We gotta do this!

In this Episode our host Rick McClatchey takes some time to talk about Galatians 6:2 and the Biblical command to bear one another's burdens. 

He talks about the necessity of bearing one another out of a place of fallenness in sin as well as in just the every day walking of life. 

As one who is receiving help - be open - be humble - be gracious.

As one who is helping - be present, be perceiving, and be proactive.
