Answering Tough Questions
Small groups are a great place for new and experienced Christians to discuss the meaning and application of biblical doctrines. We can learn a lot from the stories of fellow group members and their insights into God's Word. But many small-group leaders are secretly afraid that such discussions will produce theological questions they aren't able to answer. This resource can help you be prepared ahead of time.
