QUESTION:  How do you ruin the perfect small group? 

ANSWER:  Invite people.

No matter what, there is one thing that will tear up small groups faster than anything else and that’s people!  We’re sinners, we’re selfish, and we have this profound ability to get on each other’s nerves.  All of that adds up to one word:  CONFLICT.

Below are a few resources to help with group conflict.  The first three are simple .pdf documents that are also available in my “Free Resources” section.  The last one is a video from www.smallgroupexchange.com by John Burke.
