Episode Synopsis
Imagine you’ve been invited over to your friend’s house for a small gathering. You’re not quite sure what to expect, but you know the hosts, Megan and Matt, are some of the most welcoming people you’ve ever met. What you stumble into is a wonderfully chaotic, heartwarming journey of community building. This group, formed through personal invitations, is a testament to the power of connection and shared faith. Join me as I sit down with Megan and Matt to learn about their inspiring journey, their sage advice on fostering a supportive environment, and how their group has not only impacted their family life, but has also reached out to those in the wider community.Ever wondered how to start a community group that sincerely brings people together? Megan and Matt's experience is a masterclass in creating such spaces. They began by inviting people who attended their son's second birthday party, and from there, they fostered an environment that encouraged growth and connection. Their group, which began as a means to bring God into their home, has transformed into a lattice-like support system for both the kids and the adults. In this episode, they also share some invaluable tips for coaching group leaders. As we unravel their story and lessons, we end with a prayer from Philippians 1:9-11, hoping to bless everyone listening with the courage to start or strengthen their own community group. So, join us, and who knows, you might just be inspired to start your own group!Support the show
