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."
