• Five measurable habits for small-group leaders
• Structuring grade and gender groups that move up together
• Leading discussions where students talk more than leaders
• Using labs to practice Bible reading, prayer and evangelism
• Showing up at student events and building camaraderie
• Recruiting and retaining leaders through care and vision
• Creating low-cost, high-impact group events
• Why consistency and a three-month test matter
