Lead a Bible Group With Confidence (And Actually Enjoy It)

Lead a Bible Group 
With Confidence 
(And Actually Enjoy It)

If leading a Bible group feels heavy… you’re not alone.

Many leaders struggle not because they don’t love the Bible.

They struggle because they don’t have a clear way to run the group.

So the meeting drifts into one of two painful extremes:

DEAR BIBLE GROUP LEADER

Do I need a theology degree?

No. You need a love for the Word of God, and a  love for people.

So I need to be an extrovert?

No, introverts and extrovers alike are equally great at running a small group. What matters is that you love God and love people, and want to make a safe place where the group can grow together as disciples of Jesus.

What if I am a pastor with a theological education. Is this system to simple for me?

I think you will love it and see your Bible groups thrive even more. Sometimes even seasoned pastors forget one or more of the four elements that make for a great Bible group.

How much time does this take?

The course has short on-demand modules, all together watching takes less than 1 hour. The goal is less stress, not more load.

What if my church tradition isn’t "small group friendly"?

We cover common myths and practical ideas on how to work with your context wisely. But the truth is that groups and fellowship is a biblical concept. The early church started with house congregations, not large church buildings. The DNA of Christianity is a small group movement of disciples.

Can I cancel my $7/month membership?

Yes. Cancel anytime. 

Some members just go through the Bible Group Blueprint and then leave.

However, many choose to stay around for the other courses inside Bibloy.com that are great for any small group leader, like Intro to the Gospels, Hermeneutics, Take Back Your Life (a Christian time management course with built in spiritual habits). Many have used our course on the Gospel of John or the training on the Parables of Jesus as powerful preparation for their Bible group meetings.

• one person teaches while everyone else watches
• or it becomes vague “opinion sharing time” with awkward silence

That's not how a healthy and inspiring Bible group should be.

So I have developed a quick training that shows you:

• how to facilitate discussion (not lecture)
• how to feel confident as a leader, even if it is your first time
• and how to run a meeting with a clear structure from start to finish

Frequently Asked Questions

Bible Group Gameplan: the 4 principles that make any group come alive

This is not a curriculum you have to “teach.”

It’s a framework you use to host a group where:

• the Bible stays central
• the conversation flows
• people actually participate
• and you leave the meeting thinking “that was good"

Most people think you need to be a Bible expert to lead a great group.

But the truth is: you need love for the Word… and a simple structure that makes the Word come alive in community.

Should You Join?

This is made for you if you're any of these:

•    First-time (or insecure) Bible group leader who fears awkward silence, not knowing what to say, or “doing it wrong”

•    Leader of a group that feels dry or stagnant and you want the meetings to feel alive again

•    Pastor or ministry leader who wants more Bible-centered fellowship happening beyond the pulpit (and wants lay leaders to thrive)

The Bible Group Gameplan and the Bibloy.com membersite is for everyone who wants to lead a Bible group where the Word comes alive… and people feel loved.

Not just another meeting.

Not another “awkward circle” or a "weekly chore".

A table where Scripture is opened. Hearts are softened. Prayers are shared. And people leave stronger than they came.

If you are ready for that, I want to welcome you on board Bibloy.com

What you’ll learn in the course (the 4 principles)

Principle 1: Make it Biblical

So it doesn’t become a therapy session, a debate club, or an “opinion circle.”
You’ll learn how to keep the conversation anchored in the Word.

Principle 2: Make it Interesting

People love learning something real. You’ll learn how to prepare just enough to create “wow” moments—without over-preparing or turning it into a lecture.

Principle 3: Make it Practical

So the Bible study doesn’t stay in the clouds. You’ll learn how to guide the discussion toward real-life change with the right kinds of questions.

Principle 4: Make it Personal

This is where groups become family. You’ll learn how to build trust so people open up—and how to lead with authenticity without forcing vulnerability.

So are you ready to lead a group where Scripture feels alive again?

You don’t have to wait until you “feel prepared.”
You just need the right foundation.

I am excited about this Bible Group Gameplan training and I believe it can greatly inspire and help your small group.

Sincerely,

About Reimar Vetne

So who am I?

I’m a currently pastoring two churches in Norway,  and the Bible group time is honestly the best times of the week.

I have earlier spent decades teaching and training leaders—both in the local church and in academic settings. 

I hold a BA in Theology, and an MA and PhD in New Testament, and was a NT university professor for six years.

But what matters most is simple:

I love Bible groups.

I’ve seen what makes Bible-centered groups come alive.

I’ve seen what breaks them.

And I believe Bible-focused small groups is more important than ever for every local church.

The Bible Group Gameplan is the distilled version of my experience — the foundation that makes leading a Bible group easier, spiritually rewarding, and actually enjoyable.

And the system works whether you are a pastor, a seasoned group leader, or have never tried running a small group before but are excited to try.
