  • Addressing Spiritual Warfare as a Ministry Worker (Part 1)

    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?

  • Are We Fully Obedient? (Part 1) with David Watson
    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?

  • The Importance of Obedience Based Disciple Making (Part 1) with David Watson

    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."

  • The Path to Celebration (Part 1)

    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!

  • How Disciple Making Conversations Are Different

    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.

  • How Does the Gospel Change Culture?
    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.

  • When You're Discouraged
    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!).

  • I Will Statements (Part 1) - CDM Podcast

    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. 

    "If you love me you will obey my commandments." -John 14:15
