  Deb McCormick, suggests that in order for a small group to thrive, the members must feel connected. She states: “The team leader . . . is the one responsible for helping their team make the connection.” What does she mean by “connection”?

  Whenever you’re new to a group, especially if you don’t know each other well, there is a period of getting connected. A wheel doesn’t want to turn until you grease the axel, and a group will not connect until there is a familiarity. In order for iron to sharpen iron, iron must be willing to be humble enough to serve another.

  She might mean that the leader is the facilitator in the team. the leader can encourage the team to work together to accomplish team goal and objectives.

  Discipleship has to be relational. If I am leading a small group, it has to be built on relationships for it to thrive. First off, I need to build relationships and connect with everyone in the group. I think connection means that I need to find things that we can relate to together, share experiences, and build a friendship. I also think this means that every member of the team must have a connection with one another. As a leader, I can see where members of the team have things in common or have shared similar experiences. I can help them make these connections and give everyone opportunities to further their friendships with one another.

  The team members must feel as though they belong and are valued, and there must be trust within the group.

  connecting in relationships is what I think she means, or connecting the dots on a subject being studied.
