My First Church Meeting feat. David Watson (Part 1)
August 27, 2021 • David Watson, Rebecca Ewing
What did it take to get to the first church in a Disciple Making Movement of millions in India? This week we're joined once again by David Watson, Paul Watson's father and co-author of Contagious Disciple Making. In a previous podcast, David came on to tell the story of how he found his first 5 leaders as he started ministry in India. Now he returns to share what happened in between finding those leaders and seeing the first church formed. Hear stories of David's first encounter with an indigenous church on a military base where he risked his life ministering to an unexpected congregation. Learn the lessons he learned about coaching church pastors into facilitators, using the "one another" passages in Scripture, the definition of success as reproduction, how our time is not our own, and more.
Why Denomimations Can't Fulfill the Great Commission with David Watson (Part 1)
April 6, 2021 • David Watson, Rebecca Ewing
It's all about multiplication, not replication. It's easy to assume that our particular church will appeal to everyone and work in every culture. That's just not the case. In order to reproduce the Gospel, we have to get out of our denominational box. David Watson joins us today to talk about how to know if a church is planted right. It doesn't have to do with our preferred flavor of church, but rather obedience.
Wake Up Church (Part 1)
November 24, 2020 • Rebecca Ewing, Paul Watson
We're losing our sense of morality. We don't believe God is the basis of truth. We believe what the world believes in the name of compassion. In a time of corruption and complacency, we need to see things the way God does. We need to wake up. This episode is for everyday Christians who want to stand against the wickedness of the world and be a disciple maker. Hear practical ways to open your eyes to the world and start getting your hands dirty.
Is it Too Late For America? (Part 1)
October 27, 2020 • Rebecca Ewing, Paul Watson
Is there any hope for the USA? Have things gone too far? Have we fallen so far from God we can never come back? Today's podcast seeks to answer these questions in this crucial time in history. According to the Bible, God is willing to bring restoration if we simply change. Discover which of our attitudes fail, how the counter-intuitive principles of DMM play in, and practical steps for believers to take. Unpack how to change our expectations, our approach, and our life goals as we seek God's face together. (By the way, these principles can apply to our friends living outside the USA too!).
Being Christlike in Cultural Clashes (Part 1)
June 16, 2020 • Rebecca Ewing, Paul Watson
Continuing in our series on responding to current events, this episode focuses on our attitudes as Christians and the pitfalls we should avoid when we clash with the culture around us. Are we contributing to the anger, pragmatism, and hate when we should be speaking the truth in love and meeting actual needs? Listen to this podcast for practical ways to be Christ in times like these. In the premium part of this episode, we dive into integrating social charity into disciple making.
Changing Your Church Culture (Part 1)
March 11, 2020 • Rebecca Ewing, Paul Watson
How do I get my church on board with disciple making movements? You may be leading your church but want something more than a traditional model. Today Michael Dorsett, pastor in Texas and CDM coached team member, joins us in explaining how he has been working to change his church culture to be movement-focused. This episode is for you if you are asking the question, "Why isn't my church community as excited about disciple making as I am?" In part 2, 3 Things Pastors Need to Know, we dive into the specifics of how pastors can change the culture of their church. Maybe it's time to reevaluate our definition of success. Is it about people walking into your church or people walking out of it to reach a broken world?
Do I Quit My Church Activities to Do Disciple Making (Part 1)
January 23, 2020 • Rebecca Ewing, Paul Watson
This is a question we get asked all the time. You might be excited about doing Disciple Making Movements and are wondering if doing stuff at your church will clash. Today Paul Watson and Beck Ewing are here to tell you that disciple making IS a church activity! While some church activities might need to be shifted, Disciple Making Movements should totally be compatible with your church. We discuss questions you can ask about your own church activities, such as, "Does this activity lead directly to disciple making?" and "What does follow-up look like?" Church outreach events, potlucks, camps, and trips are great but we need to be asking what happens after the activity and making a plan for where it leads. In the second half of the episode, we talk about wisely investing our time as disciple makers. We all get the same amount of time, how can we make the most of it?
The Hidden Block to Movement (Part 1)
September 17, 2019 • Rebecca Ewing, Paul Watson
The first strategic element of a Disciple Making Movement is "be a disciple worth multiplying." The first thing Jesus preached was repentance. We see these going hand in hand when pursuing movement and the lack of the latter is that hidden block to movement. In this episode, Paul and Beck unpack how this works and the lost principle of repentance in Christianity today. "If we don’t repent, we’re not in actual step with God. Therefore we cannot move forward to fully be his emissaries to the world." In part 2, we dive into what it looks like if we refuse to repent.
