The CDM Podcast

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 should we as Christians respond to the violence and hatred happening in our world? What kind of activism is Jesus-centered? In today's CDM Podcast episode, we take a look at facing issues in a Christ-like way. Will we respond in polite passivity or by self-righteously virtue signaling? Or do we fight back in anger? Maybe there's another way.

A virus hit the world and changed everything.  But once lockdown is lifted, will we choose to return to how things were?

Reevaluate how you make or deepen discipling relationships. 

Once we can start seeing each other again, how will you make the most of it? Listen to this podcast for practical answers.

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. 

Be sure to check out the premium part 2 about Using Social Media to Tell Your Disciple Making Story.

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!

Starting a disciple making movement is a long journey; it's easy to get lost. So how do you know what you next step is when you wake up tomorrow morning? In this episode, we'll help you think through replacing fear, being overwhelmed, and laziness with intentionality, problem solving, and continual growth.  

 

Sometimes we stop after the first step, or just keep repeating the first step. Listen today to know how to take what might be a thousand baby steps before you see movement.

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.
