My husband and I have been leading various groups at Council since 2012. Our home group at that time was mostly all young married couples with few children. Our time together was full of Bible Study and encouragement with intentional community building. We loved it. Through the years, kids started slowly showing up. One day I looked up and the kids outnumbered the adults! We had continually tried hard to have Bible Study during home group, but it was increasingly becoming a challenge with so many children. One particular group meeting I remember my husband and I introduced a parenting video series and the videos were four minutes long. Surely we could do a four minute Bible Study! However, the first week of that video we had ten different people get up at different times during that four minute video to check on a kid - me included. I felt like a failure as a group leader. At that time, I went to the Lord and asked “what do we do?” I heard Him say, “invest in the families in other ways.”
