Becoming A Disciple Worth Multiplying In this launch episode of the new CDM Fundamentals series, Paul Watson breaks down what it means to be a disciple worth multiplying. Using the lives of Kings Saul, David, and Solomon, Paul illustrates how fixing your identity on Christ impacts your obedience, decision-making, and long-term fruitfulness in disciple-making.
This episode challenges believers to examine where their identity truly lies—and offers a practical, step-by-step method for grounding identity in Christ through scripture, meditation, obedience, and multiplication.
🧭 In This Episode You’ll Learn:
What a strategic element* is and why "being a disciple worth multiplying" is foundational
* The difference between strategic and tactical elements in disciple-making
* How the identity and outcomes of Saul, David, and Solomon contrast dramatically
* Why misplaced identity leads to compromise, drift, and spiritual failure
* A practical, reproducible framework for fixing your identity on Christ:
+ 🧠 Daily Scripture reading
+ 💬 Meditation on what it says about God, people, and obedience
+ 🛠️ Specific application in life and relationships
+ 🍇 Observing and evaluating spiritual fruit
+ 🔁 Multiplying obedience through disciple-making communities and DBS groups
🛠️ Practical Takeaways:
* Read Scripture daily using a plan that works for you
* Ask three questions:
1. What does this say about God?
2. What does it say about people?
3. How should I obey this in the next 24–48 hours?
- Meditate on obedience—past, present, and potential future situations
- Reflect on your identity: Are you a follower of Christ first—before your roles, professions, or personality?
- Share and multiply: Celebrate obedience with others and invite them into the process

2. 📖 Scripture + Summary
3. ❓ Discussion Questions
4. 🛠 Application + Obedience Plan
5. 🙏 Prayer & Commitment
🧠 KEY INSIGHT (Leader Summary)
“You will reproduce what you are. If your identity is not firmly fixed in Christ, you cannot multiply disciples who follow Him.”
Paul contrasts the lives of Saul, David, and Solomon to show how identity impacts fruitfulness in disciple-making. David was “a man after God’s own heart” not because he was perfect, but because his identity was rooted in God. The episode lays out a process for fixing our identity on Christ through Scripture, obedience, and multiplication.
📖 SCRIPTURE REFERENCES
* 1 Samuel 13–15 (Saul’s disobedience)
* 2 Samuel 11–12 (David and Bathsheba)
* 1 Kings 10–11 (Solomon’s drift)
* John 14:15 – “If you love me, keep my commands.”
* James 1:22 – “Do not merely listen to the word… do what it says.”

👑 Two Kings, Two Outcomes: Why Identity Matters in Disciple-Making
When we look at the lives of King Saul and King David, one thing becomes strikingly clear: both were chosen, both were anointed, but only one left a legacy aligned with God’s heart.
In the CDM Podcast, Paul Watson explains that the real difference between Saul and David wasn’t talent, opportunity, or even failure—it was identity.
Saul’s identity was rooted in his role.
He constantly made decisions based on fear of man and the need to protect his position. Even when he received direct instructions from God, he compromised to preserve appearances. Saul was more concerned with how he looked to others than how he stood before God. His identity was unstable, tied to performance and approval.
David’s identity, however, was rooted in his relationship with God.
Even in failure—like his sin with Bathsheba—David responded with humility, repentance, and a desire to be restored. His actions weren’t always godly, but his heart always turned back to God. His identity was built not on perfection but on connection—he knew who he was because he knew whose he was.
The lesson?
If we want to make disciples worth multiplying, we must first anchor our identity in Christ. Without that foundation, we risk replicating insecurity, inconsistency, and spiritual drift in the people we disciple.
We don’t multiply knowledge or programs—we multiply who we are.
“You produce what you are. If your identity is in anything but Christ, that’s what you’ll reproduce.”
Want to become a disciple worth multiplying? Start with your identity.
🔥 Inspirational + Bold Quotes
1. "You produce what you are. If you’re not following Jesus, you can’t make disciples who follow Him."
2. "Your identity determines your fruit. Period."
3. "David wasn’t perfect, but his heart always turned back to God. That’s what made him a disciple worth multiplying."
4. "Saul obeyed just enough to look faithful. David obeyed out of love."
5. "We obey because of love for Christ—not fear of hell."
6. "If your identity is rooted in your role, title, or gifting, it will collapse under pressure."
🧠 Reflective & Thought-Provoking
1. "What are you multiplying—your personality or the character of Christ?"
2. "Who you are in private will shape the movement you lead in public."
3. "If we don’t fix our identity in Christ, we’ll replicate insecurity, pride, and fear in those we disciple."
4. "Being a disciple worth multiplying starts in the heart, not the platform."
🛠️ Practical + Action-Oriented
1. "Fix your identity by obeying what God shows you in His Word—daily, personally, and publicly."
2. "Don’t just read the Bible—ask, ‘How will I obey this in the next 24–48 hours?’"
3. "Fruit doesn’t come from knowledge. It comes from obedience."
The vibrant mystery of your destiny–the life God longs to walk with you into–is discovered on the other side of lived fundamentals.
Without Intentionality, life will take these foundations.

2) How do I equip others to…

Bottom-line Christian living centers around people as priority.
“Life is beautiful not because of the things we see or the things we do. Life is beautiful because of the people we meet..”
In Christianity, we have often not cared about building relationships. We care about Gospel presentations–which can be unnerving at first. But relationships are hard work.
Foundationally, making disciples is not as much sharing the Gospel as it is walking with others in relationship; with the goal of seeing the Kingdom of God come.
—Our disciple-making efforts must build on the right foundation—
What is the Heart of Engagement?
Kevin joins us today to pray with us and give us things to pray for concerning his Disciple Making journey in Israel. Come ready to intercede for our brothers and sisters in prison and Israel.
When it comes to DMM, does a centralized leadership team stifle the small group format? Is it more healthy to have leadership, or to not? The answer is a nuanced and emphatic: Both! The Navy seals have incredible leadership structure but operate in small bands, much like DMM. They accomplish this through incredible leader building with intense accountability. It allows the insight of the boots-on-the-ground operator to do what's best, while still being tied to the larger vision and purpose. Our brains can't move like fingers but they can transmit a single purpose that requires multiple faculties (our shoulder, arm, wrist) to work together to accomplish our goal.
If we pursue DMM with no central leadership, our work will have glaring weaknesses, conspicuous by their absence: 1) A radical commitment to a single vision and purpose. 2) Commitment to constant training, coaching and mentoring. 3) Ruthless Evaluation 4) Radical Accountability 5) A call to Higher Character and Maturity.Today, we unpack all of these and answer many questions like:* What does it take to have a decentralized team? * What is appropriate and healthy decentralization? * What happens when we begin training too soon?
and much more...
Add a national & global expression to your prayer life. Come with us and pray for prisoners and Josh & Zoe as they continue their Disciple-Making work in Armenia.
"DMM in the macro, [focuses on the big picture and] recognizes the scope of what it takes to catalyze Disciple-Making Movements, is much bigger than what one person can do with their time. Macro-DMM thinking focuses on Systems, Processes and Developing Leaders." In it's greatest expression, Macro-DMM acts like a brain: balancing the strengths, commitment levels and vision of where we are going--the effect of this is that we can move together as a unified body, the Body of Christ.
"DMM in the micro’s focus is, what does me and my team need to do each day to make disciples, that WILL in turn make more disciples?" At it's best, Micro-focused DMM gives us momentum, step-by-step progress to achieving our big vision.
In today's podcast, we cover the following:
What are the 5 different levels of a leader, and how does thinking Macro/Micro help you progress through these levels?
How to set yourself up for strategic planning by categorizing your efforts into Micro/Macro Disciple Making.
How the body of Christ can assume their role and work together to have a unified effect on neighborhood, city and country alike.
Today we pray for the incarcerated as well as a group in Iowa bent on seeing the Kingdom come to their city. Come pray with us and intercede for God do greater things inside the prison and outside.

"The more time I spent there [in Israel], the more problems that I saw in the region, regarding peace and justice. It's my conviction that only the Kingdom of God can bring peace or justice.

“I became a practitioner before I started teaching my people because I can’t ask my people to do stuff that I’m not doing. So when I’m talking to [pastors] the first thing I ask is ‘Hey are you satisfied with how you’re fulfilling the great commission? How your church is fulfilling the great commission?’ Because that is one of the things that got me initially looking around and finding CDM was I was not satisfied with what I saw happening in my context vs what I was reading in the scripture” - Pastor Michael Dorsett In today's podcast Paul Watson and Rebecca Ewing discuss how churches can get involved with Disciple Making Movements and talk with Pastor Michael Dorset about his experience making this amazing transition.

“The process of transitioning to some new ways and some other things resulted in within three months, instead of 13 leaders we had 3."
What does it take to go from the loss of more than half your leaders to 40 miracles every day, 38 water baptisms per day, having 51,000 people have come to Christ and 43,000 baptized? What did it take to get to this miraculous point? We're joined by David Parish in this week's CDM podcast. David tells the story of the beginning of their ministry—how they weren't seeing multiplication yet. Despite seeing 212 churches planted, David was convinced God has more in store but knew something was missing. So he sought out the necessary training and coaching he needed to see DMM happen in Honduras and the story continues to this day!
This podcast is filled with stories of miracles, David's personal journey of disciple making, and principles we can take from the movement in Honduras.

Volunteering is an excellent way to engage people who don't know Jesus. But sometimes volunteering in and of itself isn't as effective as it could be. In the heat of meeting needs, we want to intentionally leave room for conversation and relationship building. And as disciple makers, we want to choose the volunteer opportunities that allow us to see the same people on a regular basis. So how do we turn volunteer opportunities into disciple making opportunities? Join us in the CDM Podcast to talk about just that!
In part 2, we go into the importance of the "needs of the community" question in the Discovery Bible Study process. This is one of the steps that lead to multiplication and showing the community that you're being transformed by the Word.

Beck Ewing and David Watson discuss the nature of spiritual warfare and some ways to recognize and combat it.
Is it just stress, or is this spiritual warfare? As Christians in the West, it’s easy to forget that we are spiritually at war. Satan, our enemy, is both clever and ruthless and is actively seeking to destroy God’s children and His work. In a world so full of stress, though, how can we tell if our bad days are natural or if they’re an attack by the enemy?

Since obedience is our love language to God, are we as obedient as we think we are? David Watson explains that incomplete obedience is disobedience. We're missing out on so much God has when we omit commands of Christ just as much as when we commit sins against God. This episode answers these questions:
Can we be obedient in some but not all?
What examples from the Bible do we see of incomplete obedience?
What benefits are we missing when we're not completely obedient?
What are sins we're missing in ourselves? Among each other? Regarding our mission? In our communities?

Obedience is how we tell Jesus we love him. But we miss this in the modern church. One reason we aren't seeing movement in the Western world is because we read the Bible to increase our knowledge, not our obedience. In this episode, David Watson explains why it's so important to follow Christ's commission to "teach them to obey all that I have commanded."

Starting a Disciple Making Movement is really hard. One of the weak spots of a disciple maker can be resentment. Do any of these describe you?
-It is difficult for you to hear the success stories of others.
-You think you deserve more recognition for your accomplishments than you actually receive.
-Disgust rather than joy at people achieving their dreams.
-You imply to others that you’re doing better than you actually are.
-You secretly experience joy when someone else fails.
If so, you might be experiencing resentment you might not have known was there. In this episode, we uncover how we can use celebration to combat these underlying feelings of resentment towards other people in ministry. Let's celebrate and learn from the success of others!
In part 2, see how we've used the concept of celebration in our community to help each other become world changing disciple makers!

Conversations. They're part of our everyday interaction, but there’s something unique about how we handle conversations that allow movement to happen. It takes some instinct shifts to reshape the way we approach people if we want to see multiplication. Maybe there's an alternative to arguing them out of their closely held beliefs or hoping they put their faith in Christ on the spot.
In this episode, we go over four of those shifts. It's about inviting them to discover God in the Bible, not inviting them to church. It's about listening to people so you don't give them a cookie-cutter pitch. It's about long-term relationships, not one-time interactions. And it's about focusing on groups rather than stopping at individuals.

Everyone says the Gospel changes everything. But what does that mean? Why aren't we seeing a significant change when people come to know God? It starts with our understanding of what the Gospel really is.

How do you push through discouragement? Discouragement is something every disciple maker is going to face along the way. In this episode, we'll help you think through a few ways to help you hang on when the going gets rough. Just because you aren't seeing millions come to faith doesn't mean you're doing it wrong! Let's take a step back and realize this takes a long time and discouragement is to be expected.
In part 2, we talk about how celebration is the best form of motivation and accountability (and not to mention overcoming discouragement!).

We have a tendency to be abstract with our application of Scripture. A core part of the Disciple Making Movement process is the Discovery Bible Study (DBS) method. After reading a passage from the Bible you ask, "What does this say about God? What does this say about people?" And then you go onto ask, "If this is true, what difference does it make in our lives?" This is often the toughest part of a DBS to get. But getting too good "I will" statements can be the difference between a group that multiplies and a group that doesn't.
In this CDM Podcast episode, Paul Watson and Beck Ewing go over that part of the DBS process and why making concrete, time-bound and small action steps is so important in the movement process.

It's all about multiplication, not replication. It's easy to assume that our particular church will appeal to everyone and work in every culture. That's just not the case. In order to reproduce the Gospel, we have to get out of our denominational box.
David Watson joins us today to talk about how to know if a church is planted right. It doesn't have to do with our preferred flavor of church, but rather obedience.

An "I Will" statement is your answer to one of the most important questions in a Discovery Bible Study, "If this passage is from God, how must we change?" An "I Will" statement can make or break your DBS. The difference between being a convert and a disciple is obedience. So here are some applications people often give that can be detrimental to a fruitful Discovery Group, and how to respond to them!
To learn more about "I Will" statements, check out our original podcast about them.

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!

"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. The Discovery Bible Study helps them on the path of discovery. How do we get to a decision? And how do we get to that decision naturally, as a group? What's the wrong way to do it? Hear David Watson's experience in leading people to decide to follow Jesus and how you can do the same in your own neighborhood.

A global lockdown doesn't give us a pass on living out the Great Commission and Great Commandments. Restrictions can make us retreat from the frontlines. But do circumstances really prevent us from doing God's will? In this episode, we show you how it's not only possible to make disciples in this time, but might even be the best time to! 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!

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!

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.

In a time of social distancing, we need to figure out ways to make disciples remotely. David Watson joins us for this episode to share his experience being kicked out of India but still equipping leaders there. They didn't use email back then so he had to make use of writing letters and making infrequent visits. But being expelled from India forced the leaders there to step up and make decisions for themselves.

Sure, Discovery Bible Study can work in third world countries like India and Africa. But what about the United States or Europe? And how does it mix with Christian culture?

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.

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?

"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!

Sharing a Bible story doesn’t come naturally for most Christians. Whether they don’t know what to say, are too afraid of what someone will think, or don’t have anyone to tell in the first place, it’s easy to leave this part out of a Discovery Bible Study or Disciple Making Community. In today’s podcast, Paul Watson and Beck Ewing talk about how to help Christians get better at telling others what they’re learning in the Bible.
We’ll cover topics like the role Conversation Quadrants play and how meeting the needs of the community can provide an opportunity to share the Scripture story. The reality is that people aren’t actually going to be that off-put when you bring up spiritual things—so go for it!
Part 2 (or the premium portion) is about helping Christians move from couch potato to their first disciple.

You can help other people become coaches in disciple making through a habit you've probably heard about—the prayer calendar! It's a way to start small and show that anyone can make disciples who make disciples. Check out this video on what the prayer calendar is.
So how does this simple way of praying for people every day develop coaches? It helps people develop the skills necessary to do basic leadership development. If you're multiplying your calendar, you're learning the skills of celebration-based accountability, problem-solving, and multiplication; how can I help you help someone else do something?
Choose 2-5 people to train in the prayer calendar and call them up each week to see how it's going. Listen to this episode to learn more!
In part 2, we talk about how this kind of structure causes organic growth.

We all want to see a disciple making movement happen, but sometimes it's hard to wait for it! That's why we sometimes modify or skip steps in the process of disciple making. We could skip this Discovery Bible Study question, jump to that part of Scripture, or invite those people before they're ready. Today's episode addresses the common shortcuts that we as disciple makers easily fall into and why it's a bad idea to take them.
If you seem to be coming up short in your disciple making, it could be because you're taking shortcuts. We've all been there. Listen to this episode to figure out how to avoid them or fix them if you've already taken them! Part 2 goes deeper into what to do if you've already taken some shortcuts.

You've heard us talk about Disciple Making Communities—groups of Christians on a mission to make disciples together. So why are we adding that on top of things like the Discovery Bible Study process? Isn't that enough to see movement? Well the thing is, we're dealing with a culture that has a broken DNA (or is lacking habits) for fulfilling the Great Commission. We need to build them. That's why something like a Disciple Making Community (DMC) exists.
A DMC instills the habits of prayer, obedience to the Word, sharing with others, fellowship, multiplication, and more. But how do these all fit together and play into the grander scheme of a movement? Find out in today's CDM Podcast!
In part 2, we continue on the topic of DNA, answering the questions of 1) How do you guide your group towards your success? 2) How long do you do a DMC? 3) When do you have others start DMCs? And 4) Is it possible for people to not be ready for a DMC?

When you open a book, where do you start? At the beginning! When you are helping someone discover God, where do you start? Today's podcast is about why we use the Creation to Christ Scripture list in a Discovery Bible Study. It's 26 passages that begins in Genesis and ends with Jesus. Many times we start with Jesus as we're introducing someone to the Word of God. But most people don't know who Jesus is or why his death and resurrection are necessary. Learn how to start a strong foundation with those you're discipling that can lead to a movement by listening today!
In part 2, we answer these questions:
Can I break up long passages?
Can I add passages?
Are there other lists?
Which list do I use for Christians?

How many times have we said, with every good intention, that we'd be praying for someone but never do? How many time have we posted a prayer request but are left wondering if anyone has truly prayed for it? At CDM we believe in effective communication when it comes to getting people to pray. Whether it's sending emails, posting to Facebook, making announcements in church, or handing out a prayer guide, we've all tried raising prayer but in this episode we show you a different way; we create a prayer culture—where a community of people share unified prayer habits.

How do you reach an entire city? How do you get through the obstacles you'll inevitably run into as a disciple maker? What does it look like to mobilize people effectively? This is where a Disciple Making Team comes in.
You may have heard of a Disciple Making Community (DMC) - a group that is learning how to be disciple makers in a community of others doing the same. While that's an excellent start, our ultimate goal is to turn those groups into Disciple Making Teams (DMT). The difference here is that a DMT is now starting other DMCs and is taking ownership of an area.
Listen to this podcast to learn how you can start your own DMT to maximize your effectiveness!

In these unprecedented times, the very thing we thought was distancing us from people might be the only thing we can use to build meaningful relationships now. How can technology be a help instead of a hindrance to disciple making? We have a unique opportunity to reach out to people who are stuck at home, who have more time due to cancelled events, and who just might need someone to reach out to them.
In today's episode, Paul and Beck break down some of the things we've been learning about using remote ways of actually making genuine connections with people who don't know Jesus. Let's make the most of what we have!

With over 80,000 churches and 2,000,000 baptized believers, how did this incredible disciple making movement among the Bhojpuri of India start? David Watson, co-author of Contagious Disciple Making and one of the inventors of the term "disciple making movement" joins us on the CDM Podcast to paint a picture of what those first few years in India looked like. He asked God for 5 leaders to start with and after lots of prayer and perseverance, this is how it happened.

How do I get my church on board with disciple making movements? You may be leading your church but want something more than a traditional model. Today Michael Dorsett, pastor in Texas and CDM coached team member, joins us in explaining how he has been working to change his church culture to be movement-focused. This episode is for you if you are asking the question, "Why isn't my church community as excited about disciple making as I am?"
In part 2, 3 Things Pastors Need to Know, we dive into the specifics of how pastors can change the culture of their church. Maybe it's time to reevaluate our definition of success. Is it about people walking into your church or people walking out of it to reach a broken world?

Getting to movement means doing more prayer than we normally do. How do we build the prayer habits we need to be disciple makers? We talk about the prayer calendar, but what else should we be doing? In today's episode, Paul and Beck give practical tips on setting aside 30 minutes a day, not seeing prayer as a checklist, and how to use The Lord's Prayer for Great Commission work. It's easy to be too busy or not disciplined. But it's necessary to build these habits if you want to be a disciple maker!
Part 2 is all about taking prayer to the next level with prayer gatherings. Personal prayer is important but group prayer works wonders. Celebration, repentance, and intercession.

“If we really do value the Great Commission and want to fill our campus with workers instead of trying to fill the room to hear you preach, we’ve got to change up how we do things.”
This is what pastor Clayton's interns told him before they shifted from an event based ministry to a movement based one. From quantity to quality. Today Clayton, a CDM coached team member, joins Paul and Beck in the CDM Podcast to talk about how we might rethink campus ministry. How do disciple making methods look within campus ministry? How is it different from other styles? Hear how they went from 300 people sitting in a worship service to 60 people going out and multiplying. Which would you prefer?

"Yeah, for the sake of time, let's skip the retelling part..." is exactly what you don't want to say in a Discovery Bible Study! Every element of the DBS process is essential. Today's podcast is about the element of retelling the story. It's the part of the meeting where you have people say the passage in their own words after you've read it. This helps with comprehension and with sharing the story with someone else.
Retaining what you read is a lost art in today's fast-paced society. Furthermore, people won't be able to tell it to those outside the group without first practicing in the group. Listen to hear tips on this part of the DBS process that you can use today! Part 2 is about making sharing the story a more natural process.

Has this ever happened to you? You discover something amazing and excitedly tell someone about it. Upon hearing it, they aren't nearly as enthusiastic as you'd hoped, leaving you wondering how anyone could possibly not see what you're seeing.
A life of disciple making requires sacrifice. So it makes sense that people wouldn't be interested. Why is it so difficult to inspire and train others to become disciple makers? Today's CDM Podcast answers just that.
Mobilization is similar to the Parable of the Soil. Some aren't interested, some initially click but quickly fade, others get distracted by life. There are a million reasons why someone wouldn't want to be inconvenienced, make sacrifices, put in hard daily work of obedience, or go against popular opinion. But the Great Commission isn't optional. We're all called to be involved.
In the "Part 2" episode, we'll discuss how to overcome this and actually prepare people for disciple making.

If you're going to make disciples, you need to build relationships with other people—specifically those who don't know Jesus. But it's hard to tell if our engagements with lost people are effective. Sometimes the gathering is all about the activity and leaves no room for conversation or true relationship building.
How can we meet with the same people consistently? How can we use certain activities as springboards towards further relational development? How do the Conversation Quadrants fit in? All this and more on today's episode of the CDM Podcast! And then in part two, we will be discussing how to know when to move on from a relationship that isn't bearing fruit.

This is a question we get asked all the time. You might be excited about doing Disciple Making Movements and are wondering if doing stuff at your church will clash. Today Paul Watson and Beck Ewing are here to tell you that disciple making IS a church activity! While some church activities might need to be shifted, Disciple Making Movements should totally be compatible with your church.
We discuss questions you can ask about your own church activities, such as, "Does this activity lead directly to disciple making?" and "What does follow-up look like?" Church outreach events, potlucks, camps, and trips are great but we need to be asking what happens after the activity and making a plan for where it leads.
In the second half of the episode, we talk about wisely investing our time as disciple makers. We all get the same amount of time, how can we make the most of it?

Failing forward. That's what generally happens in the first two years of a disciple making movement. You don't see much fruit at first and many mistakes are made. But those growing pains are just part of it. In this episode of the CDM Podcast, Paul Watson and Beck Ewing tackle the subject of these first two years.
It takes a while to develop the right habits, mobilize the right amount of prayer, and build relationships with the right people. But these first two years are all about laying a foundation; go slow in order to go fast. You'll start to see multiplication. Be patient. Take courage. Pace yourself. Don't stop praying. "God will wait to give you much fruit until you have the prayer needed in order to be able to handle it."

The new year is a fresh start in accomplishing what God wants you to accomplish. Doing disciple making movements is a journey, something taking dogged determination and consistency. That's why daily, little obediences cause great fruit. This podcast is all about starting right habits for the new year! We'll cover these:
-
Praying with and for others daily.
-
Engaging people who don’t follow Jesus in ways that allow you to invite them to read the Bible with you in a relational environment.
-
Participating in a community of people committed to living out the great commission and great commandments.
-
Consistency in learning.

Continuing on the topic of Disciple Making Communities, this time around we're covering training and multiplying your DMC. The main thing here is that a DMC is not curriculum-based, but based on transformational action. So instead of overwhelming new disciple makers with countless steps, how do we invite them along on the process of making disciples together?
Learn about casting vision, telling stories, training in Discovery Bible Study, and helping people get started in the first two disciple making practices. These are all tips we've discovered by doing Disciple Making Communities of our own. We hope you will be able to start your own!

"Personal practice as a disciple maker is important. But to sustain it, you need community." That's where a Disciple Making Community fits in.
We've already had some podcasts about Disciple Making Communities (DMC). This one will go over some of the crucial ingredients to a DMC:
• Action-focused learning
• Prayer/engagement
• Meeting needs
• Accountability/encouragement
• Celebration
We'll also go into the flow of how a DMC meeting should go. Remember, it's not just about the meeting. A community happens all throughout the week, encouraging each other in all the ways we need to make disciples. This podcast helps you know how to do that!
We have another 2-part episode on the way that's also about DMC, but more specifically training and multiplying your DMC. Stay tuned!

This free full length episode is all about having conversations that actually go somewhere. We often aren't taught how to talk to people about Jesus and if we are, it's always about getting them to accept Jesus right then and there. So where should we take the conversation? We want to connect their story to a story in the Bible. Eventually (and with lots of prayer), this will lead them to reading the Bible and discovering God for themselves.
"That's what Jesus did. He saw where people were—or what was happening at the moment—and then connected a grander spiritual truth with that moment."
Listen now to get practical how-to's and encouraging stories that will help you have deep discovery conversations with your friends and family!

“We are talking specifically about one of the most important aspects of disciple making out there." -Paul Watson
And that aspect is prayer! But starting a prayer movement seems like such a daunting task. In this week's CDM podcast, we focus on an extremely practical first step in mobilizing prayer for disciple making movements: the prayer calendar. Beck describes it as "a nail on which to hang the command to be daily praying for and edifying others." We go into detail on how to start your own prayer calendar and how it feeds into prayer movement. We emphasize how prayer habits are more important than prayer events. We also share a bunch of stories of how people have used the prayer calendar successfully. We hope this helps you start doing a prayer calendar even today!

“We’re seeing 40 miracles every day…we’re seeing 38 water baptisms per day right now...51,000 people have come to Christ. 43,000 have been baptized."
These were pretty staggering statistics about the Disciple Making Movement in Honduras and other parts of Latin America. But what did it take to get to this miraculous point? We're joined by David Parish in this week's CDM podcast. David tells the story of the beginning of their ministry—how they weren't seeing multiplication yet. Despite seeing 212 churches planted, David was convinced God has more in store but knew something was missing. So he sought out the necessary training and coaching he needed to see DMM happen in Honduras and the story continues to this day!
This podcast is filled with stories of miracles, David's personal journey of disciple making, and principles we can take from the movement in Honduras.

You've probably heard us talk about Discovery Bible Studies (DBS). Most of us have been in numerous Bible studies, but what about a Discovery Study? Is there a difference? And does the distinction matter when it comes to discipling people who don't yet know Jesus?
Join Paul and Beck in this week's CDM Podcast episode as they talk about the DNA of a DBS and how it differs from a traditional Bible study group. For instance, traditional studies are often focused on attaining knowledge for believers while Discovery Studies are about facilitating obedience among non-believers.
“Transformation doesn’t happen until we actually obey the things we have learned. Simply knowing certain things doesn’t transform us.”

“After catastrophic failure and being expelled from the country, I started to question the way we were planting churches as a denomination.” -David Watson
This is a special episode wherein we are joined by David Watson - a leading practitioner and trainer in modern Disciple Making Movements and Paul Watson's father. This one is about traditions we as Christians have that we bring into the mission field. While traditions are not bad, they can often block the advancement of the Kingdom of God. We want to minimize transfer of culture, whether ethnic or denominational. David Watson had to change his entire way of doing ministry; but it led to a movement of 2,000,000+ believers in India.
Join us in hearing from Paul Watson and Beck Ewing, with special guest David Watson to hear about how we can start a movement that's totally Jesus and Scripture centered, not based on our Christian culture.

Christians often focus on not drinking or sleeping around...but while we try not to commit those, do we omit things like caring for the poor? Or we'll send someone across the world to Africa but won't go across our street. In this episode of the CDM Podcast, Paul Watson and Beck Ewing go into 3 sins we need to be repenting of and what we need to be returning to to be disciples who are worth multiplying. Have we missed the true call of a disciple amidst our cultural Christianity?

The first strategic element of a Disciple Making Movement is "be a disciple worth multiplying." The first thing Jesus preached was repentance. We see these going hand in hand when pursuing movement and the lack of the latter is that hidden block to movement. In this episode, Paul and Beck unpack how this works and the lost principle of repentance in Christianity today.
"If we don’t repent, we’re not in actual step with God. Therefore we cannot move forward to fully be his emissaries to the world."

“The gospel of the kingdom requires us to equally emphasize the great commission and the great commandment as inseparable sides of the same coin.”
This week's episode is on the Gospel. It gets down to, do we understand and know Jesus’ message? What is the good news that we are supposed to be preaching? Paul Watson and Beck Ewing dive into how it's more than just forgiveness and about the bigger picture.
