Launching a men's Bible study? The first meeting sets the tone—and most guys underestimate how much it matters.
In this session, Vince Miller walks you through the exact 5-step format he's used for decades to launch strong, intentional, Christ-centered first meetings that build trust and ignite brotherhood.
You'll learn: ✔️ How atmosphere speaks before you ever open your mouth ✔️ Why preparation communicates value and safety ✔️ How to lead prayer and purpose with clarity—not pressure ✔️ The secret to building fast trust through story-sharing ✔️ How to cast vision without selling or hyping ✔️ Why a strong closing prayer seals the moment and sets direction
Whether you're meeting in a church classroom, a garage with a space heater, or your living room—this format works anywhere. If you can follow five steps, you can lead a fantastic first meeting.
