It may be necessary for youth to work through an exercise that will help to facilitate this transfer. The following examples are from various contexts in which I have used the model to teach different truths or concepts. After I had used the model I then talked the leaders through the model so they could use it to teach the Bible input part of the small group experience. I asked the leaders to brainstorm the stages that small groups go though. Someone has called this the honeymoon stage.
Relationships are still reasonably superficial.
One person may talk too much, another may be insensitive and another may be shy and uninvolved. As people work through this stage they will need to air differences and work through them. This is a difficult but important stage when hidden attitudes and values surface as relationships deepen. In time trust will develop to a point where more openness is possible. It is a very enriching stage but also a dangerous stage as the group become very close and possibly unwilling to relate to outsiders.
