One of our 6 Group Leader Essentials is to Replace Yourself

- What do you do if you are leading alone and you don't see anyone in your group who has potential to lead?

- How long can you lead your group without having co-leaders?

- How do you find and develop new leaders in your group?

Jason DeGraaff (Pastor of Spiritual Formation) and Noah Bixby (NYA Director and Group Coach) address these questions and help you think through how to find and develop leaders in your group.
