Small Groups in the Wesleyan Way: Episode 61: Beyond Small Groups (Part 1)

Author and coach Scott Boren discusses his new book, Beyond Small Groups: From Programmatic Meetings to Flourishing Communities. In this episode, Boren explores the importance of spiritual practices and trust in small groups.

The Small Groups in the Wesleyan Way podcast is about going beyond curriculum, programs and best practices to recover and learn from our Wesleyan roots and to explore the foundations for small groups that produce disciples of Jesus Christ who in turn disciple others. The Rev. Scott Hughes, director of Adult discipleship for Discipleship Ministries, hosts the series.
