Discipleship Leaders Podcast
Episode 31: How to Have Fun as a Group
Jay & Amy with Guest: Jake Briggs
After several weighty conversations on discipleship and longevity in ministry, we’re lightening things up this month by talking about something essential—but often overlooked—in group life: having fun together.
Joined by Jake Briggs, Discipleship Pastor at Fellowship’s West Little Rock campus, we explore why joy and laughter matter in small groups and how cultivating genuine enjoyment strengthens relationships and fuels spiritual growth.
In This Episode:
Meet Jake Briggs and hear about his transition from worship ministry to discipleship.
Why joy is vital to discipleship (yes—joy is a fruit of the Spirit!).
How fun deepens relationships and helps us live out the “one anothers.”
Practical ways to build fun into your regular group time.
Creative ideas for activities outside of group (meals, games, serving projects, retreats, and more).
What to do if you don’t consider yourself the “fun” one in the group.
Whether you’re naturally energetic or more reserved, this episode will help you think intentionally about cultivating joy in your D-Group.
Thanks for listening! New episodes drop around the first of each month as we equip you to make disciples who live by God’s grace and for His glory—at home and across the world.
