It is imperative that those who lead Real Life Fellowships work on becoming safe people in order to model an atmosphere of safety and growth. One of the things that kills the group dynamic is an attitude of "having it all together" and trying to "fix" people. The facilitator must be able to put up with the tension of people "being in process" in their Christian growth. The group needs to be about allowing people to "be in their pain" and "work out their salvation with fear in trembling." This means accepting people where they are without attempting to fix them, really listening to their problems, and only when they feel heard, asking permission to offer solutions.
