Becoming A Disciple Worth Multiplying   In this launch episode of the new CDM Fundamentals series, Paul Watson breaks down what it means to be a disciple worth multiplying. Using the lives of Kings Saul, David, and Solomon, Paul illustrates how fixing your identity on Christ impacts your obedience, decision-making, and long-term fruitfulness in disciple-making. This episode challenges believers to examine where their identity truly lies—and offers a practical, step-by-step method for grounding identity in Christ through scripture, meditation, obedience, and multiplication. 🧭 In This Episode You’ll Learn: What a strategic element is and why "being a disciple worth multiplying" is foundational The difference between strategic and tactical elements in disciple-making How the identity and outcomes of Saul, David, and Solomon contrast dramatically Why misplaced identity leads to compromise, drift, and spiritual failure A practical, reproducible framework for fixing your identity on Christ: 🧠 Daily Scripture reading 💬 Meditation on what it says about God, people, and obedience 🛠️ Specific application in life and relationships 🍇 Observing and evaluating spiritual fruit 🔁 Multiplying obedience through disciple-making communities and DBS groups 🛠️ Practical Takeaways: Read Scripture daily using a plan that works for you Ask three questions: What does this say about God? What does it say about people? How should I obey this in the next 24–48 hours?   Meditate on obedience—past, present, and potential future situations Reflect on your identity: Are you a follower of Christ first—before your roles, professions, or personality? Share and multiply: Celebrate obedience with others and invite them into the process 💡 Quote of the Episode: "We obey because of love for Christ, not fear of hell." 🙏 Support the Mission: CDM is a nonprofit ministry equipping everyday believers to start disciple-making movements.

Bottom-line Christian living centers around people as priority.   “Life is beautiful not because of the things we see or the things we do. Life is beautiful because of the people we meet..”   In Christianity, we have often not cared about building relationships. We care about Gospel presentations–which can be unnerving at first.
