Small-Group Leader Guides

Every book in the When God Shows Up series works as a six-week small-group study. Each member reads one short Bible story a day, and the group meets once a week to talk about it. These leader guides are free to download, print, and copy for your group.

How a session works

  1. Open with one easy question.
  2. Review the week’s five Bible stories.
  3. Read together the key verse from the King James Bible.
  4. Talk about it using questions taken from the book’s journal prompts.
  5. Live it and pray with a simple challenge for the week.

You don’t need to be a Bible teacher to lead. If you can ask a question and listen, you can lead one of these groups. For a group of any size, members can get the book as a $4.99 PDF, or all eight books in one bundle for $26.99. One copy is all a leader needs to lead the group, and you’re welcome to print the journal prompts for discussion. Since each book is just $4.99, we encourage members to get their own copy so they can read along each day. Churches buying for a whole group can write to me for a group discount.
