Joe and Jimmy are hanging out in the cigar shop talking about how to best prepare to lead a group of people in “devotions.” Christians are often asked to lead a group in a “devotional,” meaning, share something good from the word of God for those in attendance. But how can we do it well? The guys offer five pieces of advice to lead a group in better devotionals. And the guys introduce the Doctrine and Devotion “RANSOM” Bible Study Method.

Keep it Brief 5. Be Confident and Don't ApologizeSupport this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/doctrine-and-devotion/exclusive-contentAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands
