Last June, we recorded an episode all about the importance of small groups (Episode 15)—and at the time, our own life group was just getting started. After a brief pause from recording (we missed you! 😊), we’re back with an honest check-in: how is life group really going, seven months in?
In this episode, Michael & Marissa unpack what we’ve learned so far—the joys, the adjustments, and the unexpected fruit. We reflect on:
📖 Our curriculum and what we discuss each week.
🗓️ How changing the day we meet brought peace and calm we did not anticipate.
🤸🏼♀️The evolving reality of childcare and the unexpected beauty in the interruptions.
🫱🏼🫲🏽 And most importantly, the fruit we’ve seen: deeper vulnerability, stronger marriages, walking with one another through hard seasons, and wrestling together with big theological and life questions.
This episode is our honest take. If it hadn’t gone well, we would’ve said so. Small groups aren’t perfect, and they don’t always run smoothly—but this one has been a true gift.
As we close, we reflect on how the very structure of small groups invites quality over quantity—a return to the kind of communal, face-to-face connection that feels increasingly rare in our fast-paced world. And we’re so grateful for it. So what are you waiting for? Give this episode a listen and then challenge yourself to engage in a small group!
