How to Lead a Small Group Bible Study

[@tierraspivey7299]

This definitely helped me. I'm about to start a small group Bible study at my university and it's one of my biggest fears speaking in front of people but I love bible study and it's been on my heart so I'll be starting in January. Thank you for this video!!

[@TiffanyDawn]

That is so awesome!! I'm so excited for you as you get ready to start this!

[@brittneyjeffery5725]

I’m only 12 I want to start one over FaceTime with some friends I’ve tried and it never works so please be praying that it works out this time

[@TiffanyDawn]

That is so awesome you're working on starting one with friends on FaceTime! I love that you have the desire to do that!

[@remley5472]

Praying for you!

[@michaelhowlader8062]

This is very much helpful. I am going to start a small group and it is very new in my country's ministry.

[@maryflores5989]

this was so good I took all your notes. I am nearing 76 yrs of age and have taught all kinds of bible studies in our home. But never and all Senior Bible study. I've worked mostly with young single women and divorced women and have gradually become a senior lol. Now what hahaha. I know what to do but I just want to thank you sweet lovely lady for this information. ty

[@cecehopkins4663]

Hi, Mary. I'm almost 73 yrs old and starting my first small group Bible study on Zoom in 2 days. Guess we Seniors still have a job to do in our advanced years. 😉 May God bless you and your ladies as you seek His guidance!

[@carachristine12]

I will be starting my first bible study soon. I am so excited but a bit nervous too. Thank you for thee tips!

[@shibikox]

1. Know your audience. 2. Lead it with a friend. 3. Use good questions. 4. Make a schedule. eg. 6.30 arrive 7.00 start study end half hour to hang and discuss. 5. Never say anything behind anyone’s back unless it’s really good. 6. Get to know you questionnaire. 7. Assign jobs. 8. Pray a lot.

[@morganmcgehee7288]

This was so helpful! I'm a junior in high school, and I am about to start a bible study for highs school girls. I'm so excited but also nervous!! Thank you for your advice!!

[@TiffanyDawn]

That is so exciting!!! I can't wait to hear how the study goes! When do you start it? Praying for you!

[@giorgiaalexanderactingothe1892]

How did it go??

[@gingerbread0984]

I'm a single foster mom who will be leading my first bible study, for other single foster moms, over Zoom tomorrow. This really helped! Thanks!

[@remley5472]

That’s so cool!

[@beverlysabindo5644]

I will be leading a small group the soonest and I need your prayers for me to do the task I am asked to do. I know that this is God's will I need and would loved to obey. Kindly give me some more tips in starting leading a small group. Thank you very much.

[@nancimartin3276]

Please keep me and prayer.... I am getting ready to lead a small group of women and I want God to have His way. Thank you for sharing!

[@emgrace3951]

Thanks so much this has been such a great help. I've been thinking of starting a small group and wasn't sure where to start. Would really love some prayer as I begin planning and starting up everything

[@eulaliaschultz6074]

Wonderful tips! Thank you. Noone else has put it quite like this!!

[@keisykviatkovsky6112]

Hey Tiffany! Love your videos! I’m 17 and I’m about to start a bible study group for younger girls Soooo exciting but a bit worried.. would love you to pray for me! Blessings 😚

[@SamuelLee-gw6wr]

After my first time leading a small group, I got feedback that I didn't give an atmosphere which is interactive enough for others to share. After seeing your video and many others, I will make freer icebreakers next time, encouraging active listening, but following a flow starting from easier topics first as I use a 2 truths 1 lie approach. I will also study the recommended questions on the material, but will not get stuck on the flow I have prepared. At the same time, as one of the members is very passive in his faith, I will also tailor some content which he can digest, such as related BibleProject videos. I will also regularly meet the members for a meal so that I can know more about them and make my preparation much better. At the same time, I would also like to delegate tasks to the members later on, such as having them give an opening or closing prayer based on each of our prayer items, and have them lead the worship as well. If they don't know what songs to choose from, I will give them a selection of around 50 popular worship songs sorted with the content of the material to help them. Thanks for all the content, there are many takeaways which I will apply into my own leading!

[@meridithray8699]

Thank for your video. I’m looking to lead a small group at the end of September. Your video gave me some very helpful and useful tips.

[@sarahpainter6907]

Hi! It’s gonna be my first time starting a small group and I’m so excited for what God has in store, but also really needing prayer for wisdom and guidance. Thank you for making this video!

[@TiffanyDawn]

Oh I'm so excited for you!! I pray that God would give you guidance, and wisdom as you lead this group, and that it would really encourage you and the others in the group! :)

[@sarahjanereed]

I’m about to start leading my first small group in three days! 😱 thank you for this video!

[@MayaRoseXO]

How has it been ? I just started a group maybe we can help us out

[@juanguerrero9743]

Thanks !!! Leading my first life group and this was a big help. It’s co-Ed but I can certainly use this to help!

[@hawkeyestiguy]

Great video! My mom & I own our own ice cream shop & I feel lead to start a Bible study there for those in my age range (27-35ish). I have never lead a Bible study/small group before but have participated in many. I am feeling a bit overwhelmed, but your video was great and I took many notes, so thanks for posting!

[@FamilyOfStorys]

Starting my first small group on Monday. We're using the First 5 app. These are great ideas! Thanks!

[@TiffanyDawn]

Oh thank you so much for sharing that First 5 app suggestion! I hadn't heard of that - will have to check it out! And I can't wait to hear how your group goes! :)

Hey Tiffany (: I recently discovered your channel and I love how you are honoring God through your channel. I would like you to pray for me. I am a college sophomore and I’m starting a small group this fall semester. I believe God is calling me to be a spiritual leader on my campus. I want to honor Him and help His people.

[@thezxcv1234898]

Hello Tiffany, I just started leading a small table of bible study in a big international fellowship in my church. I love this video and feel reminded of the importance of prayer! Thanks for such edifying video and I would appreciate for prayers;)

[@nicolenash1697]

I truly appreciate the time that you have taken in this video to share your experience. I will be starting a "single save sisters " Ministry and I I'm nervous about not being able to properly engage and keep the ladies interested. So again thank you for the time that you've taken to share this video.

[@TiffanyDawn]

What an awesome group idea! I pray it is really meaningful to you and the other ladies! :)

[@ionela_banari]

Hiii! Thank you so much! Tomorrow (14th of October) it is my 15th birthday and i want to do a bible study with some girls. I just bought some bibles to give to the girls that do not have one, and i want to study and i pray that they will know Jesus and what He has done for us... i pray for them to be saved. Please pray for this study bible to work and for the girls (Iuliana, Daria, Lois and Sarah)🙏🏻❤

[@inongenyambe6835]

[@curtiscrew5016]

[@MariaJimenez-ne9cz]

WoW this was such a blessing. Thnk you for doing this video I am about to start a small group. I am looking for a study that is a great starter. I'm super scared but ready i have been avoiding this for a very long time and God has been pursing me! thanks again :)

[@TiffanyDawn]

I'm so excited you're going to be starting it! It takes so much courage to do that. I'm excited to see how God will work in your own life, and in the other people in your group!

[@makingthemostoflife6094]

Thanks for this video. I have a spiritual blog and recently created a facebook group and I'm planning on doing a Bible study this May. It came to my thought to KZbin: "How to lead a Bible study group" and your video came up. Thanks so much this really helps. This wasn't what I was expecting to find but IS EXACTLY WHAT I NEED.

[@MorenaMamii]

Goona be starting a study group/a group for girls to be free and vulnerable..Christians and do life. Thanks for the encouragement. This is my first group! Please pray for me..and the ladies that will be attending. Thanks for being a light and an example.

[@kathysydney6553]

I am in 12th grade, and I want to start a bible study group in my school for just girls only. But I have no partner to lead with. Would it be hard to do this all by myself?

[@TiffanyDawn]

Hey Kathy! So awesome you want to start a Bible Study for some girls in your school!! You can definitely do it on your own, especially if you find a few friends who are really excited about being there each week. It would take a little extra time since you'd be the one prepping to lead each time, but definitely doable. I think if you can find a couple friends who are really serious about their faith and can be there regularly, that would be so helpful! Hope that helps!! :):)

[@kathysydney6553]

Thank you so much for replying, you are the sweetest

[@brutalitops5876]

[@TiffanyDawn]

Much love back to you in the Philippines! I'm so excited for you as God is leading you to start a small group! I pray that He would give you so much wisdom and that you all would come so much closer to Him through the group!

[@cecehopkins4663]

Bet you never thought that what you said five years ago would be relevant to a thing called "zoom Bible study" five years later. 🙂 I start my first one in two days and tried to find help as to organizing and leading it to no avail. Then I saw your channel! This gives me confidence to do whatever it takes to facilitate a study on friendship building with Christ at the center. Thank you. Thank you!!

[@alexacuffaro262]

Great video! Im leading my first group through zoom and its 17 of us so far! Your video was so helpful...thank you

[@caryssonford]

Heyy Tiffany, I was approached a couple of weeks ago by my friend from my university who is currently on the Christian Union committee, asking me if I would take over her role as the international coordinator. Basically what it involves is making international students feel welcomed & giving them the opportunity to hear & respond to the Gospel. After 2 weeks of praying, I have decided to take on the role. Part of it will hopefully involve bible studies with students who have never even heard the name Jesus! I am so excited to share Him with these students & to love them, & I am praying that God would show me what He wants me to do. I feel so passionately that this is something God is calling me to, & I can't wait to see how He will strengthen my faith & work mightily through us as a team!

[@TiffanyDawn]

Oh wow, Carys! That is so, so awesome!! I can't wait to hear how it goes -- keep me posted!! What an awesome opportunity! :)

This is my first time hosting a bible study I’m nervous; and appreciate your awesome tips!

[@sclems16]

God called me yesterday to start a Bible study and fellowship group since I have been having trouble finding some in my new city. He told me to do it NOW or I’ll put it off. So tomorrow I’m holding my first study. I have direction, a schedule, and just a verse (since we’ll be doing a lot of introductory discussions and introspection). I’m mostly just praying that God will steer the right words into my heart (even though I don’t know many), the right people into our group, and a spirit that motivates us to push forward in our passion and love for expressing who God has become in our lives. I will be praying and praying but thank you for your videos and I hope this gets to you in time for a special prayer for us, too! (P.s. sorry for the run-ons... too busy focusing!)

[@TiffanyDawn]

That is so exciting!! Good for you going for it! I can't wait to hear how it goes! :):)

[@tajayatomlinson5298]

Honestly, I feel like I'm being led to do it and I'm a bit excited because I really haven't done an actual bible study especially with my friends in a long while. Partly because of covid partly because I had to go away for training. Anyways! Wish me luck!!

[@ellensirca9915]

Thank you Tiffany for this video! I've led small groups before for activities but never a bible study! This Thursday will be our first meeting over Zoom! Please pray for me, I am still trying to decide which book from the Gospel to begin with :)

[@hannahterpstra2509]

Hey Tiffany, Myself and a friend have just started up a girls bible group at our church. We really didn't want to make it a group just to bless ourselves. We wanted to serve others like Christ did which in turn helps bond all of the girls. Thanks so much for your video it's helped us heaps. Thanks

[@mariaalessia2557]

I just came across this video which is so great since I’ve been thinking about starting a bible study group! The only thing is, we already have life groups in our youth group so I have no idea whether anyone would actually show up or if it’s silly to even suggest😕 and also, I’m 13 and most of my friends are a year/two years above me! So I always feel a little young. Thank you for the useful tips, will DEFINITELY keep them in mind! X

[@robs3557]

Great suggestions, I’m going to lead a small group the end of this month. I had a hundred reason not to lead one and only a few to why I should. Nine month ago I had little faith nor interest in God. Through a near death experience my life has changed. I read the Bible and pray everyday now. God has become the center point of my life. If your interested in reading my story do a google search for “Mended Hearts The best investment I ever made” I’d put the link here but Google always blocks comments with links in them. The church I mention in my story is Lifepoint in Reisterstown Md. Great church with so many small groups and wonderful support people. The pastor saved my soul on Feb 23rd.

I have been thinking of starting a small group for the past month, for the first time ever. I am trying to get a structure that would work best in the beginning. Any tips or website suggestions?

[@TiffanyDawn]

That is so exciting that you're planning to start a small group!! Hmm...I'm not sure I understand your question. Are you looking for a Bible study to go through together? If so, I highly recommend using the resources from the Bible Project: kzbin.info - and I also love Beth Moore Bible studies!

[@Em16134]

I'm about to start a small girls Bible study with 5 other girls and I'm very nervous. I've never been very interested in this sort of thing before because all of the other ones I had been involved in we're very cliquey and overly judgemental. The other week a thought popped into my head to start this and make it the group I with those other groups had been. I really think that was something God communicated to me because there's no way I would've thought of that on my own. My goal is to hopefully form a sisterhood of sorts where we can have girl talk and open up about our struggles or insecurities and feel safe knowing we're surrounded by other girls that share the same faith and will help and support us without judgement and can help us seek comfort in God. I'm a very introverted person (86% introvert over extrovert to be exact) so I'm incredibly nervous but I'm trying to give it over to God and trust that he put it in my mind for a reason so something will come from it.

[@emilystewart2532]

[@ChristopherDolby]

If you are struggling to buy something for a man for Christmas, you’ll never go wrong with experience days. If someone gave me a day riding motorbikes, or driving fast cars, or shooting guns or running obstacle courses, I’d be so blown away… Merry Christmas 🎄

[@madisonweinard4917]

Hi Tiffany, I recently have had it on my heart to start a women's group about loving yourself. I want to attract girls my age that maybe don't know the Lord and eventually teach them that not only are they beautiful in their own eyes but in GODS. I am in college so I feel like this message is so important as this age because our bodies are changing and relationships, romantically or friendly, become a big part of our lives. Without self confidence, it can be hard to make those connections possible. I would love all of the advice I can get. I am planning on doing this on my own, and would love some tips and tricks. Maybe even some bible verses! I was thinking about calling it "The Last S.T.R.A.W (strong. talented. radiant. ambitious. woman)" because when all else fails us and we have no hope left, we can look towards good and he sees our true beauty. Thanks so much! Madison PS Feel free to contact me!

[@TiffanyDawn]

Madison! Wow, that sounds absolutely amazing! Good for you!! I totally agree -- that message is so important, especially in college. Get ready for a very long comment here!! Hahaha First, here are some ideas if you want to do the study based on a book study or with the structure provided by an organization. Then I'll give some verses. 1) I've heard good things about "The Body Project - I know some girls who started this at their college and loved it. www.bodyprojectsupport.org 2) I've heard good things about Annie Downs' books, like "God Loves Ugly" and "Looking for Lovely." 3) I have a free, downloadable small group workbook and leader's guide on my website that walks people through a small group study on my book "The Insatiable Quest for Beauty." That is all about body image and confidence, and I think the book is so powerful. All about how I learned how to be confident and work through my eating disorder and self-hatred. But you can also look through the leader's guide itself and glean some questions, verses, and ideas from that for your own study, with or without the "Quest for Beauty" book - You can download the leader's guide at this website -- just make sure it's the leader's guide and not the workbook, because the guide has way more helpful tips and ideas in it: www.tiffanydawn.net/quest-for-beauty-book 4) You can do some discussions on a variety of resources, some of my favorites being Jean Kilbourne's "Killing Us Softly" video series, or Dove's videos like "Evolution" and "Real Beauty Sketches," and BuzzFeed's "Women's Ideal Body Types Throughout History" - You could watch these videos together during your group study and then discuss them. Probably just one or two a week would work great. 5) I also have an 1/2 hour video of my story that I present at colleges and conferences, about my struggle with body image and an eating disorder, and the things that helped set me free. This could be another great discussion or starter tool for your study: kzbin.info/www/bejne/mYanpH-uZ756Y9E As far as Bible verses, here are a few you could discuss together: Psalm 139 definitely! (The whole chapter. I love it.) 1 Peter 3:3-4 -- this one I'd really discuss and not just take it at face value but study it together. Ezekiel 16 is powerful - here's a video in which I explain its significance for body image: kzbin.info/www/bejne/aYCWnXWCl7-Xq68 -- and then you could even go into Hosea 2, which I explain here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/gma1c51_adR6ibM (Note: This second video I made a long time ago and never published...so it's not super great quality! Haha - but I think it can give an idea of the meaning and beauty of this passage.) Romans 8:31-39 -- all about how much God loves us. I think this is where our confidence should be based Isaiah 43:1-7 -- realizing our hearts are spoken for by God, and we are to live for His glory. I think learning to focus on God instead of on ourselves helps a lot wth confidence. Other passages that could work well for discussion and study: Isaiah 40:6-8, Zechariah 2:5, and Ephesians 3:14-21. I hope these things help! I'd love to hear what you end up doing! :) ❤️

[@madisonweinard4917]

This really helps I am leading a young lady Bible study

[@fufiy6933]

Going through some of your videos again, and while I haven’t led a small group I’ve been a participant in many. Unfortunately, I often felt very left out as even though the groups were split up into ages (I was 13 in a teen group, but everyone else was 17 or 18). While this isn’t bad as I still got along with the other girls, it had a lot of practical issues such as in terms of transportation: everyone else could drive and so was able to go to all the meetings especially late at night whereas I needed to be dropped off by my mum. I often felt personally excluded from events because of where they would be located and when they had them as I was the only person unable to get transport there and lived nowhere near the other girls to car pool. As well as this, it always felt very surface level, as the leaders wouldn’t really ever hang out or talk to me much aside from small groups. They were all lovely people and it wasn’t their fault they didn’t have much support or training on how to lead small groups (and I didn’t expect them to become best friends), but I think it is really important to also send text messages and meet up with members of your group for coffee, after church, etc. as well. What Tiffany said about writing down notes about each small group member and making them feel special is exactly the kind of thing I’m talking about. Being friendly and connected also helps with accountability and trust within a small group 😊 Luckily I’ve got an amazing mentor who prays with me and is able to be honest with me about her story and makes me feel comfortable with sharing with her about my struggles, so not being in a small group isn’t too bad. Getting all these little tips and encouragements from you tubers such as Tiffany is also a blessing 😊

How do you keep all girls interested and involved when the group is small (4-5 Young adult women), half grew up in the church and half are brand new Christians. People are not committed and one girl just left because she felt like she wasn't getting anything out of the group. Most weeks only one or two girls show up. I've stopped for the summer and I'm starting to think I shouldn't start it back up come fall. I don't know how to gear the discussion so that both can learn and feed into each other without feeling stupid because they don't understand or feeling like they are only ever poring out and never getting fed.

I am in a discipleship class and our facilitators assigned us a duo a chapter in the book to lead the class. Im more of a behind the scenes person so im really searching for help. My take away from this video is PRAY ALOT.. Thank you

[@TiffanyDawn]

I believe Southeastern Bible College, Huntsville Bible College is in Bethany Divinity College & Seminar are in Alabama. Also, here's a list Christian Universities Online put together this list of their 50 favorite Bible college in the US: www.christianuniversitiesonline.org/best-bible-colleges/

I've in the process of starting a small group. I'm excited/nervous. This is my first time. Although I dont have a friend to do it with, its just me. My goal for the group is for women to know who they are in christ. Thinking of reading lisa bevre without rival book. I havent been praying about for months, just started praying about it, but its something I've thought about for awhile. Any advice?

[@cheryl3895]

Awesome! Thank you ❤️

I'm planning on starting a bible study group at school. My first time.

[@restoredandrenewed7318]

Amazing thanks for sharing your thoughts. Great tips 👍🏼

[@TrulyMyth]

I've been wanting to start a Bible study group, but I don't know who to invite. Do you think putting flyers up in my high school would be a good idea? Or maybe posting about it on Facebook?

[@tarrapascol588]

[@lukundoabigail2546]

This has really been helpful 🙌🏾 , I’ll be leading an online bible study please pray for me

[@TiffanyDawn]

I'm so glad it was helpful! And I'm so excited you get to lead an online Bible study!! I can't wait to hear how God uses that in your life and the other lives! Praying for you right now!

[@sethharrison8334]

Hi! Im only 15 and am trying to organize a small group with one of my friends and was wondering if anyone has any good topics to start with?

[@kathysydney6553]

I would say start off with the Gospel books. Matthew, Mark, Luke and John :) That's what I would do!

[@emilyfrens1829]

Same!!

[@TiffanyDawn]

That is so exciting that you're starting a small group with your friends!! I'm so sorry - I just realized I never responded to this! I agree - I love starting with the gospels. There are also a lot of really awesome Bible study guides out there. My personal favorites are Beth Moore & Priscilla Shirer, that kind of walk you through different books of the Bible with daily readings and journaling on your own. Those can be a great resource as well! :):)

[@amyferguson7705]

It's been on my mind a lot lately that I would love to be apart of a small group Bible study for girls my age (20-30), but there isn't one. So I've been thinking a lot about starting my own, but I've never lead a group and idk if I'll have that one person to always have my back. I also don't know where I would get the study material. Any advice would be grateful, & prayers are the best! God bless you and yours!

[@iniobongadesanya5130]

Thank you this was helpful.

[@justrocio9293]

Is it ok to start a bible study group even though you yourself doesn’t know much about the Bible but really wants to learn? Any advice thank you?
