As small group leaders, we know the importance of investing in others—especially when it comes to raising up new leaders. But how do we ensure we're not just filling spots but truly developing individuals who will carry the mission of the church forward?

The conversation also delves into available resources to support the development of new leaders, helping group leaders foster an environment where leadership growth and discipleship go hand in hand.
