Exodus Study at Storyline
- Kyle describes teaching Exodus to nearly 1,000 men and women and seeing transformative fruit in local Bible study groups.

- Jen notes churches often pair Sunday preaching with small groups, which frequently fails to produce depth.

- Pastors named 'people not prioritizing discipleship' as the top roadblock, shifting blame onto congregants.
- Kyle warns leaders to still own and improve methods within their stewardship despite congregational shortcomings.
