The CDM Podcast

Reaching Groups Rather than Individuals (Part 1)

Everyone is a doorway to a community or a family. Often in our attempts to "Christianize" one person, we miss out on reaching their entire family or community for Christ.  David Watson joins us in this episode to explain why this is and an alternative way of thinking. How do you flow from one person to their family? Why use stories instead of a presentation? All this and more on the CDM Podcast!

Guiding Repentance and Baptism with David Watson

"If it becomes a conversion experience, it's about a religion, not about a relationship with God." This episode is about the moments of decision—believing, repenting, and being baptized.

Hear David Watson's experience in leading people to decide to follow Jesus and how you can do the same in your own neighborhood.

It's just about having the faith to step out and do it. We have countless stories of people who have stepped out with this kind of faith!

Habits of Mentally Strong Disciple Makers (Part 2)

The enemy likes to nudge us into patterns of thinking that are unhelpful and destructive. Eventually, our thinking affects our actions. Actions influenced by negative thinking destroy everything around us. That's why we need to be mentally strong as disciple makers, especially in times of high stress and isolation. In this episode, we talk about what mental strength looks like and how it applies to making disciples. We need to learn how to identify our weak spots and areas in which we are resistant to change.

We're starting a CDM book club and you're invited! We're starting in February with the book "13 Things Mentally Strong People Don’t Do" by Amy Morin. Email team@contagiousdisciplemaking.com to join the book club!

Creating Safe Spaces for Discovery (Part 1)

We want to have conversations that lead our non-believing friends to discover God. But it can be difficult to get there. We need to create a safe space for them to actually want to engage in that way. In today's episode, Paul and Rebecca go over 3 ways to create those safe spaces: preparing by mobilizing prayer, building relationships with unbelievers through friendship and conversation, and creating space for open conversation. It takes time and some topics can be tough, but we're in the business of loving real people with real stories.
