Leading Powerful Conversations

Stephen Ellis

The success of a small group is often judged by their outcomes, such as the numbers of members attending regularly, their spiritual practices around worship and prayer, their ability to care for each other, and their capacity to reach out to their community. Little attention has been given to the power of conversation that happens within their meetings. This book is a personal testimony of how a straight-forward five-stage coaching framework, supported by seven principles and examples of great questions, can lead to your small group members thriving out of their godly identity and moving towards their ultimate calling of God in their lives.
This resource offers the opportunities for you as a leader to reflect on your own practice of leading a meeting and offers some practical ‘off the shelf ideas’ which will save you time and bear more fruit in your leading.
