Thank you for being willing to lead a group through Hope After Hurt. It is our prayer it will be a meaningful time of growth and comfort for all who attend. As a group leader, you are not responsible for answering all their questions, fixing their situation, or being their counselor. However, you are there to encourage them to read and reflect, to persevere in this process, to be present with them in their pain and most importantly to guide the group time so everyone benefits the most. The following are a few guidelines we think will help you do just that.
