NAME, after years of inquiries and encouragement from friends of the ministry, has started to develop some small group materials. We now have three small group studies that are being requested all over the country. We have several others in the works.

NAME has been involved in several smalls groups at Phoenix First Assembly over the years to understand the dynamics of how couples small groups. This has served as a help in understanding how to develop the materials in the future.  We have added staff with writing and development backgrounds to help us develop more materials.

Some people choose to work through these different materials as Sunday school programs or night classes through the church and some use it as a home group Bible study. Whatever your comfort may be or your schedule allows, this is a great way to get couples discussing and introspecting about their marriage in a safe environment with other couples.

If you are looking for a marriage study group, we most often recommend the “Is God in Your Marriage” books and workbooks. These are full of the richest, yet most foundational concepts that can get even the longest marriages off to a better and right start in the Lord.

Another great small group resource is The Covering. The Covering has monumentally changed many marriages all over the country. The concept of covering your spouse just as Jesus covers us is often misunderstood or not taught on. These deep teachings will bring up emotions and deep seeded feelings that will help the couple to grow closer together while discovering how to grow closer to Christ.

We also have “Anger Management” workbooks. This comes with the CD pack of Anger Management teachings, so that couples can learn healthier conflict resolution skills. It is great for the couple that really roughly fights a lot and the couple who occasionally angrily raises their voice at one another. Click on this link for more about Anger Management.

Also, we have a book called “Mighty Men” which works great in men’s small group settings. It calls men to be the bold spiritual leader that they were called to be. This will make husbands want to strive to be the spiritual leader of the home that they should be. Click on this link for more information about Mighty Men.

And the most recent one that will be soon coming out is the “Men are From Dirt Women are From Men” workbooks to supplement the books, about studying our differences.
