Filling up your Discovery Group - Episode 5

For the Harvest - With the Worcesters

In episode 5 of the "For the Harvest" podcast, "Filling Up Your Discovery Group," hosts Stephen, John Worcester, and Paul Worcester tackle the crucial question of how to actually get people into those vital Discovery Groups. Building on previous discussions about the power of Discovery Groups and the New Wineskins principle, this episode offers practical, Bible-driven strategies for finding and inviting "faith beginners" to engage with God's Word.

The conversation emphasizes the principle of "ministry before meetings"—building relationships and having a contact list of lost people before even scheduling a group. The speakers highlight the importance of personally inviting faith beginners, not just Christian friends, and equipping new participants to invite their own circles of influence. Drawing inspiration from rapid church planting movements in India and Jesus' own ministry, they share actionable advice on building a prospect list, praying specifically for the lost, and making the "ask" effectively. Learn how to identify "persons of peace," navigate objections, and leverage the natural hunger for spiritual truth to fill your Discovery Groups and multiply disciples.
