Small Group Leader Guide - I KNOW HE WILL

Your group is digging at a well that's already shown them it's dry — and some of them have been digging for years.

That's not a lack of faith.

That's just what happens when a method that used to work stops producing, and the quiet conclusion becomes "something's wrong with me" instead of "the source was never supposed to be my own effort in the first place."

I KNOW HE WILL is what happens when that conclusion flips — and finding out the outcome was never resting on your strength leads somewhere no amount of extra digging ever could: rest.

What Is This?

FIVE DAYS WITH THE JDOT FIVE: ESSENTIALS is a complete music-based Bible study for group leaders.

Five contemporary Christian songs. One intentional arc. Everything your group needs to move from admitting a dry well — through recovering a real memory of provision, through a declaration spoken out loud, through trust that doesn't need the mechanism explained — to an open invitation for God to do what only He can do.

Zero prep. Just press play and lead.

Why Music?

Your people will finally admit which well has run dry during a song they already love — and they'd never admit it to a discussion question.

They'll recover a memory of real provision during a moment of worship no sermon has been able to produce.

Music bypasses the defenses. It reaches the place where real honesty happens.

But most groups play the songs and move on. They never connect the music to the specific, honest, personal moment where a dry well gets named and something actually changes.

That's what I KNOW HE WILL does differently.

Five songs in an intentional sequence — each one earning its position, each one building on the last — creating a journey from a dry well to an open invitation.

This isn't five songs with discussion questions. This is a complete encounter with a God whose power was never resting on your might or effort — through music, Scripture, and an honest reckoning with a well your group has been digging at instead of admitting is dry.

What's I KNOW HE WILL?

DEPLETION — Before anything else can shift, your group has to actually admit the well is dry. Not one more attempt to dig around it. The honest, plain admission.

PROVISION — The hinge of the whole arc. Recovering a specific memory of being provided for — and re-crediting it correctly instead of filing it under your own resilience.

THE DECLARATION — Not a hedge. A full, spoken declaration — "I can't do it, but the Great I Am can" — said out loud instead of only privately believed.

SETTLED TRUST — The truth most people skip: trust doesn't require seeing the mechanism. What waits on the other side is rest, built on evidence instead of a visible plan.

THE INVITATION — The destination. Not a demand for God to act on a timeline. An open door, welcoming a power that was already at work.

Who Is This For?

The group leader whose people have already declared real faith, more than once — and are quietly wondering why the well keeps running dry anyway, wondering if that means their faith wasn't real.

The small group, life group, Bible study, men's group, women's group, Sunday school class, campus ministry — any gathering of people digging at a well they're calling "just a rough patch" instead of admitting is genuinely dry.

If your group has people who feel like not knowing how something resolves disqualifies them from trusting that it will — I KNOW HE WILL is for them.

Every group has those people.

About The JDOT Five

Every Friday at 7 AM, JDOT Pine drops The JDOT Five — contemporary Christian songs built around one spiritual arc.

FIVE DAYS ESSENTIALS is the complete group leader guide that turns the weekly playlist into a music-based Bible study encounter — zero prep, maximum impact.

Using contemporary Christian music as the framework for encountering Jesus through Scripture and theology.

JDOT Pine is a former Chicago educator and survivor of death. On May 13, 2021 — the day he died — Jesus sent him back with nine words: "There is still so much for you to do." Now living with Primary Progressive Aphasia, JDOT keeps discovering — some days more than once — that a well that used to produce doesn't mean the source has failed him. This theme was built from inside that same ongoing practice, not the other side of it.
