Why Host No Regrets?
Throughout the country there are fewer and fewer churches that have an effective ministry to men, but at the same time, men’s small groups are popping up all over the place. By streaming this event into homes, we wanted to provide leaders of men’s small group the chance to be a part of something much bigger then themselves and avail themselves to world class teaching. Check out our promo video for small groups…
Existing Men’s groups: This is an opportunity to spend an entire day together and to deepen their friendships with one another. It tells us in Proverbs 27:17, that we are to sharpen one another, and this full day experience will provide the chance to do just that.
Create your own small group for No Regrets: This is a great chance for a few followers of Jesus to open up their home and invite a number of friends, co-workers and neighbors who would not normally go to church. You will be in a much more comfortable setting, can have nice barbecue for lunch, and go through the day at your pace.
Catalytic Event: The biggest reason for us wanting to make this available to small groups is our desire is to launch a movement of discipleship here in the US and around the world. This one day event can serve as a catalyst for your group to go deeper with one another and with God. We will make available after the conference a small group study, based on the theme, your group can go through to keep the momentum going.
