Launching a men's Bible study? The first meeting sets the tone—and most guys underestimate how much it matters.

In this session, Vince Miller walks you through the exact 5-step format he's used for decades to launch strong, intentional, Christ-centered first meetings that build trust and ignite brotherhood.

You'll learn:
✔️ How atmosphere speaks before you ever open your mouth
✔️ Why preparation communicates value and safety
✔️ How to lead prayer and purpose with clarity—not pressure
✔️ The secret to building fast trust through story-sharing
✔️ How to cast vision without selling or hyping
✔️ Why a strong closing prayer seals the moment and sets direction

Whether you're meeting in a church classroom, a garage with a space heater, or your living room—this format works anywhere.
If you can follow five steps, you can lead a fantastic first meeting.
