video series and discussion questions became available, Brian and some members of the previous groups were inspired to reach out. They wanted to invite people who were not involve d in a small group—many weren’t attending church at all. Personally, Brian was excited about the opportunity to throw the net wide. He said he could now break through a barrier he had felt for years. “After 20 years of walking with the Lord, wanting to respond to a call to evangelize in a tangible way, I finally had a way to do it,” says Brian.
After The Good Life, they continued with other another video series and a few even went on a Hocking Hills retreat. Brian and several others have gone from feeling general friendliness towards these acquaintances to a new-found “pastor's heart.” He articulates this transformation in his own words: “I am struck by the simplicity of what we are really called to do. Years of trying to make stuff work in church, trying to conventionally measure [success with] increased attendance and

Brian and his friends are working out the details of what the group will look like throughout this next year. They are leaning toward the Alpha format with food and the video series in the same studio office to allow the post-gathering fellowship to continue in the studio or elsewhere in the brewery district.

Brian explains, “Four weeks in, guys were saying ‘I have this friend going through some stuff… can I invite him? He doesn’t go to church but I’d love to have him come.’” A total of 50 attended at one point or another. With a group that large, they didn’t impose a strict structure. There were no assigned tables or leadership roles, but often groups of three or four would stick together week after week.

It’s appealing to people who are in a life surrounded by counterfeits.” It results in opens doors for Brett and Brian to have a shared spiritual experience with colleagues they see daily. “As hard as it was being on the [front] side of it,” Brian reveals, “being fearful of the responses and rejection and uncertainty, now my life feels
