As iron sharpens iron, so one man sharpens another.
Proverbs 27:17
Not often, but every once in a while, God brings us to a major turning point— a great crossroads in our life. From that point we either go toward a more and more slow, lazy, and useless Christian life, or we become more and more on fire, giving our utmost for His highest— our best for His glory.
Oswald Chambers, "My Utmost for His Highest"

Perhaps less than 10% on the medium circle - fellowship, life group etc.
Almost nothing on the small circle - a group of three or four, life on life discipleship

What's Trailhead D-Group Model?
Learning from the best practitioners in the American church, Trailhead's D-group model resembles what Jesus did: spend more time with less people. It aims to create deeply connected relationship with high accountability for growth in Christ. It is a band of brothers with the end in mind," to be fruitful and multiply".
