In part 2, let us look at the aspect of gathering feedback from our group participants in order to gauge their level of participation and comprehension of the topic and study. In Mark 8:23, while healing a man of blindness, Jesus asked, "Do you see anything?" We can ask the same kind of question throughout any teaching process. A question such as "Do you understand what we're studying?" can reveal the level of comprehension and may help lead a group member to a new and fresh understanding in your study. Often times we can miss that... Aha moment that we should be experiencing, as we often assume everyone understands.

Pastor Warren... Jesus' example of answering a question with a question set Him apart from the religous leaders of His time. The religous leaders would have rather told you what to think or what the answer should be. As a small group leader we want our participants to get God's answer not man's answer and by asking questions and redirecting the focus we can make sure that everyone is getting it and understanding the teaching.
