Landslides and Bridges
My efforts to make disciples who gladly make more disciples seemed to be limping along, until I encountered three surprises on a bike trail blocked by a sign warning: LANDSLIDE – DANGER – NO ENTRY!

Path of Questions
The word “discovery” appears in the title of several Bible study methods. What makes Discovery Bible Study different from other approaches? A pathway of distinctive questions guides seekers into a vibrant relationship with Jesus. You can review them in “Path of Questions.”
From Info to Action
Two friends and I met to plan the launch of a new ministry. But Kurtis had a different idea, as he kept saying “Guys, let’s just do it!” I thought we were doing it, but his words kept bugging me until I realized he was right. Read my Trek Log entry #1 to find out how God led us to hit the ground running.
Fellow Disciples and Resources
Want to make disciples who make more disciples? Believers actively involved in Disciple-Making Movements share their experiences and insights in many helpful resources. Sample this list of useful sources.
Discovery Bible Study in Your Home
Parents pass faith in Jesus to their children. While the Church weakens in the West, elsewhere Discovery Bible Study (DBS) is helping millions to follow Christ. Could DBS ignite living faith in your home? Consider how DBS differs from typical family devotions.
Sheep Among Wolves
Is Discovery Bible Study successful due to less opposition where it is used? Consider this — 1. Today which nation’s government is most adamantly committed to wiping Christians off the face of the earth? 2. Which nation has the fastest growing number of new disciples? IT IS THE SAME NATION!
What about Follow-up?
When we employ the twin methods of Disciple Making Movements and Discovery Bible Study (DMM-DBS) as our evangelism strategy, an additional follow-up plan is not necessary. DMM-DBS accomplishes both quantitative growth (making new disciples) and qualitative growth (teaching them to obey what Jesus commanded). The methods of Jesus the Disciple Maker are brilliant!
Like Wildfire
How do Discovery Bible Study groups spread like wildfire and become Disciple Making Movements in which thousands and even millions follow Jesus? In the West, Bible study groups don’t proliferate like that. So, what are DBS groups doing differently?
Discovery Bible Texts
In a Discovery Bible Study (DBS), people who know nothing about the Bible become disciples of Jesus Christ. How is this possible? Because the texts they explore together set them on the bedrock of history. As they begin to identify with the Jews of Bible times, the light of faith gradually dawns. And when Jesus rises, their hearts become His!
Reading the Bible with Know-Nothings
Since 1994, millions of people have come to faith in a Discovery Bible Study, even though none of them were Christians when they began the study. We church goers used to being instructed by a Bible expert, wonder: How could a group of know-nothings reading the Bible ever become disciples of Jesus Christ?
Who Is the Leader?
What if a witnessing method did not require you to be a Bible expert with all the answers? In fact, you wouldn’t be the leader at all. Learn the counter-intuitive method of Discovery Bible Study.
