FaithGPT for Small Group Leaders

Before the meeting:

• Study the passage with Scripture Insights
• Generate discussion questions (observation, interpretation, application)
• Prepare background context to share
• Create take-home application points

Common leader challenges FaithGPT solves:

The 3-question framework:

1. Observation (What does it say?)

   • What words or phrases stand out?
   • Who is speaking? To whom?
   • What is the main action or command?

2. Interpretation (What does it mean?)

   • Why would the author include this?
   • What does this reveal about God/people?
   • How does this connect to the bigger story?

3. Application (What do I do?)

   • How does this challenge my thinking?
   • What needs to change in my life?
   • What step will I take this week?

FaithGPT prompt example:

"Create 8 small group discussion questions for Philippians 2:1-11. Include 2 observation questions, 3 interpretation questions, and 3 application questions appropriate for adults."

Real-time support:

When unexpected questions arise:

1. Don't fake an answer
2. Say "Great question, let me look into that"
3. Quickly check FaithGPT on your phone
4. Share what you find
5. Offer to research more for next time

When to use AI during group:

• Quick factual lookups (historical context, word meanings)
• Finding related cross-references
• Clarifying confusing concepts

When NOT to:

• Deep emotional moments
• Prayer time
• Personal sharing
• When the group is engaged

Over time, build a resource library:

1. Save useful questions in FaithGPT Notes
2. Organize by book of the Bible
3. Note what worked and what didn't
4. Create templates for different passage types

Question templates by genre:
