A growing library of Discovery Bible Studies: a simple, repeatable way to read Scripture with someone else, one passage at a time. Look back, look up, look forward, that's the whole method.
Discovery Bible Study (DBS) is a simple rhythm, the same three steps every time, that works whether you're leading a small group or sitting down with one other person over coffee. It's been used all over the world to disciple people who are new to faith, and has played a part in many people coming to faith in Jesus for the first time. This library is a growing set of studies built on that method: real passages, real questions, and space to actually talk about what you find. Free to use, adapt, and pass on to anyone.
Every study, every session, follows the exact same shape. Learn it once with any study, and you already know how to lead every other one, or teach someone else to.
A few minutes to reconnect: what's happened since last time, what you're thankful for, how you can pray for each other.
Read a passage together, retell it in your own words, then work through the same four questions, every single time.
Turn what you found into something real: a behaviour to change, a promise to trust, an example to follow. Then pray for each other.
There's no separate training course to take first. You learn Discovery Bible Study by actually going through one, and by the end you're already equipped to take someone else through the exact same study, whether they're brand new to faith or have followed Jesus for decades.
The same four questions, every time. You don't teach, you just ask, and let the passage and the group do the rest.
Plain language throughout, nothing assumes you already know the Bible. Someone brand new to faith can lead this as easily as someone who's followed Jesus for years.
Every study ends the same way: reset your progress, and go take someone else through it. That's not an afterthought, it's the actual design.
Whether you're brand new to faith or going deeper after years of following Jesus, there's a study built for where you're starting from, not just one path for everyone.
Ten weeks in Mark's Gospel. Read a little each week, discover who Jesus is, and follow him together, as a small group or one-on-one.
Ten sessions through the story of the Bible, from creation to the cross and beyond. A great starting point for anyone new to faith.
A chronological, 17-week study through the life of Jesus, tracing how he made disciples who made disciples, then sent them out to do the same.
Ten real encounters with Jesus, from a party at a tax collector's house to a woman at a well, each one showing what hope actually looks like up close.
What prayer actually looks like: Jesus' own words, a persistent widow, a church praying through a crisis, and Jesus himself in anguish at Gethsemane.
Fourteen sessions working through the specific things Jesus told his followers to do, from repenting and believing to going and making disciples.
...and more, across the Gospels, the whole Bible, topical studies, and single books.
No sign-up, nothing to install, nothing to buy. Pick a study, read a little, and talk about it with someone.
