The Discovery Bible Study (DBS) method uses eight foundational questions meant to encourage, connect, discover, apply, and multiply. It is being used by God’s people all over the world. DBS is making new disciples of Jesus and training them to guide others in the discovery of Biblical truth. Based on Pastor Josh’s teaching this weekend, we are diving into the whole chapter of James 4 in our Impact Communities.
