Though, I believe it is doable and adaptable to most life circumstances. I've even challenged my oldest daughter who is going into High School next year to consider getting involved in a campus based small group instead of a church based small group because of this concept that you quoted from Dallas Willard. We must not restrict our discipleship to special religious times, but rather learn to be cooperative friends of God in the daily-ness of our lives.

It barely had more than three people in it. But it wasn't like Three is Enough because of the lack of focus on serving. I wish I could go back and do it again. Instead of just praying and talking about us and the Bible I'd want to talk about serving: like, what doable things were we doing to make the office a better place to work for our coworkers? I love how 'serving' is one of the three activities of Three is Enough groups. About twenty years ago I started a Bible study at my office which met before work.
