Overflowing Love – Leader’s Guide
Dr. Gary Layne | FunctionalChristianity.com

The Overflowing Love Leader’s Guide is a complete resource designed to help pastors, small group leaders, and ministry teams confidently guide parents through one of life’s most complex seasons—relating to adult children and grandchildren.

Built to accompany the 4-week Overflowing Love study, this guide equips you to lead meaningful, grace-filled conversations without pressure or performance. Each session includes clear teaching direction, discussion prompts, common participant responses, and practical guidance to help you create a safe and transformative group environment.

This is not a technique-driven parenting study.
It is a heart-centered journey that helps participants move from anxiety and control to peace and influence—by living from the fullness of Christ.

Inside the Leader’s Guide:

• Clear session-by-session teaching flow
• Discussion questions and group facilitation tips
• Insight into common emotional responses
• Integration with companion podcast episodes (8–10 minutes each)
• A framework built around the Four Containers: Love, Acceptance, Security, and Value
• Guidance for navigating sensitive topics like grandparenting and adult children with special needs

Whether you are leading a small group, church class, or seminar, this guide provides everything you need to facilitate a powerful and practical experience.

Best used alongside the Participant Workbook and weekly podcast episodes.
