Reverse Bicycle Riding & Discovery Groups: What and Why?
What does riding a reverse bicycle have to do with disciple-making? In this eye-opening plenary session, movement leaders use a powerful visual metaphor to explain why Discovery Groups are radically different from traditional Bible studies—and why that matters for Disciple Making Movements (DMM).
Why Do Discovery Groups Work So Differently?
The “reverse bike” illustration shows how our default approach to spiritual growth needs retraining—just like learning to ride a bike that turns the opposite direction. This session reveals:
- The mindset shift required for obedience-based discipleship
- Why teaching less can lead to learning more
- How Discovery Groups empower every believer to lead and multiply
Key Highlights from This Session:
- Common mistakes churches make when starting Discovery Groups
- Why unlearning is often harder than learning
- Simple, reproducible practices that fuel multiplication
- How Discovery is built for spiritual responsibility, not just information
This session is a game-changer for trainers, pastors, and small group leaders who want to embrace the habits that make DMM possible. It’s time to rethink your “spiritual steering system.”
