Roundtable: How to Choose a Small Group
\\xa0
We talk a lot about how one of the best ways to connect to other believers and truly grow is by \\u201cmaking the big church small.\\u201d Getting involved in a small group can do just that. But how do you find a small group that\\u2019s a good fit? And what makes a small group successful? Two pastors with tons of experience in Christian community and discipleship share what makes a good small group, how groups can go deeper, different types of groups to try, and when to walk away and try something else.\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0

Culture: An Inside Look at Addiction (Part 1)
\\xa0
Addiction is no small thing, and one of the most painful experiences is falling prey to it, or seeing a friend or family member do so. Addicts either don\\u2019t think they have a problem, or assume it\\u2019s something to \\u201cfix\\u201d if they can muster up the willpower \\u2014 but it goes so much deeper than that. Dr. Ken Harmon and Dr. Trent Langhofer, both former addicts, are now pastors and recovery experts whom God is using to help others. In part one of our conversation, they share their stories and give common misconceptions about addiction and recovery.\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0
