If you are teaching adult bible study curriculum and you have women in your group you need to realize that they have unique needs just like the men in your group do. If you are a man teaching the class you need to be especially aware of this. I encourage you to find a strong Christian woman to be in charge of this part of the ministry to your small group. This is for two reasons. One is because there will be better understanding and better connection in a woman to woman relationship. Two is to protect you. Strong feelings and bonds can be built in doing the type of ministry we are talking about so you want to be careful. As far as specifics the needs are much like men's needs in the sense that women need relationships and connections. They may just realize it a little easier. Also, do not be afraid to speak the truth in love. With men and women we may have a general understanding of our calling but may be half way doing things or possibly not doing them at all. So push and challenge the people in your group to live up to what God is calling them too.
