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...

Listen to the last episode with David Watson on the person of peace to get caught up here . In this episode, David shares what to do once you find a person of peace. He says, "Your motive can't be to start churches. Your motive is to befriend." Once we lose our I'm-going-to-use-this-person mentality, we can start to see the Gospel move into a community through a person of peace. Listen to learn ho...

“It’s about letting the person of peace discover you by being conspicuously spiritual.” – David Watson   What is it about the person of peace model that sees so many people becoming disciples? How can this model work for you? In this podcast, David Watson and Beck Ewing talk about what is involved in discovering a person of peace and what you need to do to use this model.   Topics include: Going t...

What would happen if this summer, your church, family, and personal culture shifted into a culture where making disciples was normal? In this podcast, Paul Watson and Beck Ewing discuss the CDM Summer Mission Initiative. You’ll learn about three shifts you can make this sum...

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 te...

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 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."  Visit www.patreon.com/faithworks for part...

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 bet...

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 episo...

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. In this episode, Beck Ewing helps us think about the big picture of the Gospel and how it should be changing every aspect of the culture we live in.   Visit www.patreon.com/faithworks for our pre...

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...

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...
