Common Adaptations to DBS (Part 1)

People often come up to David Watson saying, "My Discovery Bible Study isn't working!" Usually it's because they left something out. Today David Watson shares what works and what doesn't as people try the DBS process themselves. If parts are changed, the whole process usually falls apart. Of course the applications and answers will be different in every group. Hear advanced tips on the DBS process as a whole so you can be more equipped at helping your friends and family discover God!

Discovering Discovery Bible Study: The Beginning (Part 1) with David Watson

We talk about the Discovery Bible Study process a lot but how did it start? Who came up with it and where was it first used? David Watson joins us to shares the origin story of this tool that has been used to bring countless people to Christ around the world. Hear about how it developed in an oral culture, how they taught indigenous leaders to do it, why the "meeting the needs of the community" question was added, and more. Their motto was "simple truths, simply obeyed" and it really is the heartbeat of this method we use today!

How Do We Pray for Restoration (Part 1)

Are we taught how to intercede for our country and the issues going on in the world that break God's heart? Is a worship rally enough to see restoration in the world? As disciple makers, we need to figure out how to seek God's face properly to see Him bring about change in our world. This podcast will show you how! Learn how repentance plays in, how Biblical characters exemplified prayer, how fasting fits in, and about choosing that first step to be involved.

Praying for Movement with David Watson (Part 1)

"The only way to walk with God is through prayer." Prayer was the driving force behind the Disciple Making Movement David Watson saw in India. On average their team spent 3-6 hours a day in prayer, and even more on the weekends. David argues that people who pray only 15 minutes a day are in a religious system, not a walking-with-God system. Today David Watson joins the CDM Podcast to share from personal experience just how important a prayer movement is. Learn principles about listening prayer, turning distractions into opportunity, and how to how to see real fruit. Hear stories about his prayer mobilization efforts and just what prayer can do. 

Tune in next week for the second part where David dives into how they used to mobilize prayer the old-fashioned way. How much more could we mobilize prayer now in the age of technology and communication!
