SUMMARY: In this episode, Brian and Rick discuss assessing and applying group members’ learning styles with Sam O’Neal, a content editor for the Bible Studies for Life curriculum at Lifeway. Sam introduces the VARK model of learning styles—Visual, Auditory, Reading/Writing, and Kinesthetic—and argues that getting people engaged through the way they learn is a useful way of getting them involved in community. While most group meetings are centered on sitting and speaking and listening, an approach that privileges certain learning styles, Sam suggests several ways in which group leaders can diversify their approach and incorporate activities and group experiences that appeal to a variety of individuals.

Also, Brian and Rick share a blog post from Darryl Wilson, The Sunday School Revolutionary, and Rick discusses the differences between leading a movement and managing a ministry.
