First Priority EPIC Stories Leader GuideSample

LEADER TIPS

Have someone welcome, pray, watch the video, read the verses, lead conversation questions, and pray for your group. 

You can also lead a game or ice breaker if you would like. 

Today is all about equipping everyone to have conversations about their faith. So create a safe and welcoming environment for everyone to do that. 

Get in smaller groups of 3-5 if you need to.
