We all joined or started a small group with the hope of growing our faith and making friendships, right? So, what is the plan to intentionally pursue those goals?  In this podcast we will be discussing three ways to build intentionality into our groups to best utilize our time together to grow.  The three components of intentionality are calendar, content, and schedule.

Podcast Summary:

• We need an intentional plan to maximize the limited time we have together each week
• Being intentional in our groups means focusing on Calendar, Content, and Schedule
• Calendar - At the beginning of each semester discuss what you want to grow in/talk about this next semester
• Content - See the NPMEN Group Content page for recommended study topics and resources http://northpoint.org/uploads/general/NP_Mens_Group_Content.pdf 
• Schedule – Include time for connecting, learning/discussing, and growing in each group meeting

Discussion Questions:

1. Is your group spending too much time in the "connect" part of the meeting (ie: more than 5 minutes per man)?
2. What are some topics you want to grow in and discuss with your group in the next 12 months?
3. What part of the schedule - connect, learn, & grow - does your group need more or less intentionality around?
4. What ideas do you have to make your group be more intentional?

The Big Three Questions - this is how we grow

5. What does this mean for me personally?
6. What am I going to do about it? (What step of faith does God want me to take?)
7. How can we help?
