Speed of the leader; speed of the team

Support for my latest book has been really strong--hitting #1 in the Amazon's church growth category this last week.

Doubling groups are working at North Point because Andy Stanley regularly stands before his church and says, “I am in a group that is doubling; I want you to be in a group that is doubling.” He didn’t just say it just once. He says it every year. Here is another example.

So because of our leadership here, and because of Bill Willits and his team, we have found ways to give people an opportunity to be in a closed, predictable group for a year to eighteen months and then to divide and start new groups.

Sandra and I are in our twelfth group. We started doing this before North Point was started.  It has been an incredible, incredible experience. In fact, I  will tell you a story. Our group is about to divide. We have been together for a year and a half, so it is time to divide. So, we have that awful, awkward conversation that every group has to have. How are we going to divide? Who is going with who? Who is keeping who? It is always very, very awkward. Breaking up is hard to do.
