So, I'm helping get a small group going at my church for those around the college age. The whole situation is a little unclear but basically I'm not a "leader" in the group but I am giving support and helping the leader. One thing I want to help do is guide the discussion into a deeper more meaningful discussion of scripture. That said, I'm actually not sure how to go about it. I don't think many people, especially college aged, want a surface level spoon feed faith, in fact most of them I know want something they can sink their teeth into. Growing up I was always around church members who in retrospect seemed to guide us into deeper understand of Gods word with ease, but I don't know how to do that. What questions to ask, how to drive a point home.
I'm not talking about going into a super deep theological discussion on naturalism or anything like that, but I do want to try to promote people to think about the word of God themselves, with only SOME guidance, but where they can go home and think over the issues and have a desire themselves to know more, while at the same time learning while at the small group.
