This is a sampling of suggestions you can use as a group leader. Each study is about 4-6 weeks long. The idea is that, if a group works through all these categories in a year, they will touch on a broad and healthy variety of type and depth of group interaction.
To access many of these studies, you will need to set up an account on RightNow Media (link above). It’s free to you! There’s lots more on the website for you to consider, but this list will get you started.
