Exploring Ezekiel
Target Audience: Everyone Estimated Weekly Homework: 60+ Minutes Navigating Old Testament prophecy in a small group setting can sometimes feel daunting, but Amir Tsarfati’s study Exploring Ezekiel (Harvest House Publishers) provides an accessible entryway into one of Scripture's most intricate books. Whether your group consists of seasoned believers or those just beginning their faith journey, here is a breakdown of why this study might be a great fit for your Wilmot Group this upcoming season. Key Strengths Fosters Great Group Dynamics: One of the most prominent highlights of this study is its ability to spark meaningful conversation. The structure encourages open dialogue, making it easier for group members to share insights and learn from one another regardless of their background in prophecy. Accessible Across Maturity Levels: While Ezekiel touches on complex themes, this resource is versatile enough to engage everyone from curious seekers to mature believers without leaving anyone behind. Things to Keep in Mind Pacing & Lesson Length: The primary consideration for group leaders is that the lessons can run on the longer side. Preparation Time: Expect your group members to invest about 60 minutes of weekly prep/homework time to get the most out of each session. Leader Recommendations & Tips Manage Your Time: Because lessons can be detailed, consider prioritizing key discussion questions rather than trying to cover every single prompt during your gathering. Set Expectations Early: Help your group members map out a plan for their 60+ minutes of weekly prep so they feel prepared and confident coming into discussion.

As parents, our instinct is to protect and support. But Dr. Bernstein—a veteran child psychologist—explains how well-intentioned over-helping can accidentally send an unspoken message to our kids: “You can't handle this without me.” Over time, rescuing them from small struggles prevents them from building true confidence and resilience.
