Discovery Bible Study (DBS—Watson, etc.)

The following is one portion of the Movement Resources listed on this site.

DBS is a central component of reproducing disciples, as illustrated in Stubborn Perseverance. Rather than relying on trained leaders to interpret God’s Word for others, DBS relies on the Holy Spirit’s readiness to teach from His Word through group interaction. In discovery study the Holy Spirit guides each participant to discover and obey insights relevant to them, bringing greater transformation than often results from other forms of teaching. This leads believers toward hearing God’s voice and obeying all that Jesus commands them.

DBS is the primary focus of one of the main streams of movements today, and a core element in many other streams of movements.
