This was a cell group resource that I shared to my cell group members a couple of weeks ago based on Ephesians 4:1-6. Feel free to use, give a feedback, and modify to your cell group needs.

Lisa, the owner of Christian-Single-Woman.com interviewed me through some series of questions via email last week. The questions were quite specific and challenging but they remind me of a few things, especially my main motivation on setting up this blog through her question:
