This week Will unpacks the invitation to be part of a ‘few’: What these groups are, why we think they’re important, and how we might start them. Jesus has disciples and followers but amidst that he has a ‘three’ - his few. Will shows us how these small units of three or four can be a vital way in which we grow as disciples; they teach us vulnerability, train us in friendship and ultimately help us see more of Jesus.
