How to run it

  1. 1Use two or three questions to open a regular meeting, or the whole set for a group's first night.
  2. 2People answer on their phones; the host shows the results and invites one or two to say more.
  3. 3Move from light to deeper. The questions are in that order, so stop wherever suits your group.
  4. 4Close with prayer requests. Remind everyone to share only what they're happy for the group to see.

Questions people ask

What are good icebreaker questions for a small group?
Start light: one word for your week, a favorite childhood Bible story, the high and low of the week. Then go deeper: where you feel close to God, who helped your faith grow.
How do you start a Bible study with an icebreaker?
Pick one or two questions that connect to the passage, give everyone a minute to answer on their phones, then invite a couple of people to share before you read.
What are good Christian icebreaker games?
This-or-that polls, a word cloud of what people are grateful for and Bible character questions work well because everyone can join in at once.
