Today, we make the case that if someone is planting a group scratch, start an ANYONE AND EVERYONE group! Why? There's a NEED for Movement! Multiplication requires FREEDOM; people need freedom from sin, groups need freedom to plant new ones. The more complex the group, the harder it is to multiply. Have less parameters (men only, women only, couples only) and you will have a more simple system to duplicate. There's a cost to discipleship (Luke 14:28-33). Will we sacrifice the good (our gifts) for God's great mission?

Our answer is yes, through the use of the 412 reading plan! We encourage our small groups to 1) read Scripture and spend time with God every day throughout the week 2) ask each other how their time in the Word has gone that week 3) ask what God has been showing them lately and 4) pray for one another. Why such a simple plan? Because, complicated systems can't multiply.

Today, we revisit the question of HOW do we multiply? In Part One, we said we multiply over time in relationship...but we wanted to be more practical than that! Here's our conclusion: Over time...in relationship...don't ignore behavior, but primarily seek to shape beliefs.  What do they believe (knowledge/confessionally) in their mind?
