    16. Brad Why is Quinn so quiet? (Might be intimidated by the Bible study environment; might not feel confident speaking about the Word; OR may just prefer listening and observing to speaking) Spend outside time (lunch or whatever) with Quinn so you can get to know him & find out why he is so quiet Ask a question in which each person must give an opinion (where theres no wrong answer, non-threatening) Ask Quinn to share by name (direct question) near the beginning of the discussion, when there are several possible answers; Or ask him an easy question (with encouragement) Express appreciation for Quinns contribution whenever he does share Make sure that everyone is seated on the same level, and in the circle; if possible, sit so that Quinn is directly across from you (in your direct line of eye contact) Quietly enlist the help of others in drawing Quinn out Break into groups of 2s or 3s for part of your group time (less threatening) Use Quinns name in a positive illustration Brad Why is Quinn so quiet?

    17. Renee What is driving Tads behavior? (attention, wide range of interests, curious personality; sometimes this is someone who has not done their study being unprepared, they dont have much to say about the material, so its easy to think of random questions.) Consider whether the tangent is off course or something you want to talk about (Lindsey Eternal Security) Thats a great question, Tad. Since we dont have much time to cover all of our material tonight, lets talk about that after the study tonight. Give a brief answer, then redirect the discussion back on topic. Dont belittle or criticize him for raising the point If possible, spend outside time with him so you can know him (if you have a relationship w/ him, it will be easier to correct him b/c hes secure in the relationship) Talk to him privately; Encourage his curiosity (particularly if it is doctrinal), but ask for his help honoring the time others have committed to studying this particular topic.
