Ponder/Help/Prep view vs. Meeting view
For group leaders

Prep view vs. Meeting view

Why your group leader output has two modes, and when to use each.

Group leaders need private preparation before the room gathers and a clean guide while people are talking.

Prep view

Use prep notes before the meeting. They help you remember the sermon flow, identify likely discussion turns, and decide which questions your group needs most.

Meeting view

Use the meeting guide in the room. It keeps prompts short and gives you a path from opening question to prayer without making the conversation feel scripted.

Use it well

  • Use prep view to choose which questions your group actually needs this week.
  • Use meeting view when people arrive so the conversation stays simple and readable.
  • Bring your own pastoral awareness to sensitive topics, quiet members, and follow-up care.

The best group guide gives the leader freedom in the room instead of making the room serve the guide.
