Ep 86: Cliquey or Considerate?

We had some fun with this podcast after recognizing that each of us say "clique" a little bit differently.  Google didn't give us a clear answer, so we stuck with what we knew best!  If you've ever felt excluded because of a clique, or if you've ever wondered if you are crossing the boundary of being cliquey rather than considerate, listen in as we discuss the following questions:

1. Can you give us a clear distinction between close friendships and cliques?

2. When you explain it, it brings me back to high school, but you said you see some of it in the church too.  How do cliques manifest themselves within the Christian community?

3. What is the danger of cliques within the church? How do they hurt people?

4.  How can we break the habit of gravitating toward the people in our close friend group on a Sunday morning and being more welcoming to others?

5. As a mom of kids in youth groups, and seeing how your children have been intentional in this area, what can you tell moms who are seeing that their kids could be more welcoming?

6. I think we can all identify with feeling left out.  It’s not a nice feeling, what counsel can you give to the women who are feeling isolated by the women around them?
