Take resources with a grain of salt

Books, videos, blogs, yes even this one, have to give generalities or examples that have worked in specific circumstances. Their are none that work in every case (if they say they do, run away!).
  • As said a couple of days ago, every group is unique
  • Generalities can be helpful in understanding what is going on in a group
  • Generalities can be a starting point for planning and working with a group
  • But they always need to be tailored to a particular group
    • This has been a pet peeve of mine for years, most Confirmation curricula assume a particular size, education level and age level. This fits a very narrow range of churches.
    • Always ask “does this idea/lesson/description fit my kids?” “Will it work with Jamie in the group” etc
