Simple Discipleship

What if Discipleship Could Be Simple? What if you could lead people to Jesus using the Bible? What if all you had to do was show up and watch God do His thing? What if you focused on relationship?

Discovery Bible Studies are being used all over the world to make multiplying disciples of Jesus. A simple and effective tool for leading others to God, a “DBS” will introduce your friends and family to Jesus and allow them to discover Him through His Spirit, regardless of their background.

As you engage with Jesus in mission through discipling others, your faith will grow as you watch the Holy Spirit draw people to Himself, increase their love of scripture, and develop them into mature disciples of God.

Encouragement: 

You can make disciples! People are interested in discovering God with someone they trust. All it takes is an invitation from someone like you! Whether a young believer or atheist, the Discovery Bible Study tool creates the space and safety necessary for a person to begin hearing the Holy Spirit of God through reading His Word and responding to what they hear in a non-judgmental and personal way. As they discover God through obedience to His word, their faith increases and their skepticism and hesitations disappear. We call this Simple Discipleship.
