Each morning I wake up and make myself a delicious coconut milk protein smoothy to ensure that my daily does of dietary supplements goes down smoothly! It’s not that I just love to swallow these horse-sized-pills or drink celery juice or eat broccoli, it’s that I’ve learned (now in my late 30’s) that investing in my health in ways like these helps my body to function at optimum performance – more energy, more strength, more mental clarity.
The definition for “supplement” is: something that completes or enhances something else when added to it.
Several years ago, as the new small group point person of my church, I was excited to build a healthy and dynamic small group ministry. Yet at the same time, I felt inadequate and overwhelmed. Thank God a friend introduced me to a network of other small group point people who rallied around me and gave me the support I needed to succeed. And the rest is history – today I am honored to work for the Small Group Network. Here are 7 ways to supplement your small group ministry like I did, by leaning into the SGN…
