The Discovery Bible Study (DBS) model is a simple yet effective method for Bible engagement and discipleship. Centered on allowing the Scriptures to speak for themselves, participants in a DBS group read and discuss passages directly, promoting personal discovery and application. Each session typically involves a series of questions that lead participants to observe, interpret, and apply the text. The aim is to foster obedience-based discipleship and empower individuals to lead similar studies without extensive theological training. Popularized in mission contexts, DBS emphasizes multiplication, as participants are encouraged to start new groups, facilitating rapid and organic spread of the Gospel.
