Welcome to Replication EssentialsHere’s a question I get all the time: “Roy, what books should I read to understand Disciple Making Movements?” Great question. But here’s the problem—most of us don’t have time to read a 300-page book. We’re in the field. We’re leading groups. We’re coaching leaders. We need the insights without the time investment. That’s why we created The Catalyst Audio Library. We’ve taken some of the most influential DMM books out there and turned each chapter into a 20-minute podcast episode. You can listen on your commute, during your morning walk, or while you’re doing dishes. Then you can use these episodes with your team for training and development. Let’s dig in.

Hit reply and let us know. We read every response. What’s New: The Catalyst Audio LibraryThe Catalyst Audio Library is simple. We’re releasing chapter-by-chapter audio versions of the books that have shaped movements around the world. Right now, we’re featuring Contagious Disciple Making by David Watson and Paul Watson. This book has been a game-changer for thousands of practitioners, and now you can consume it in bite-sized pieces. Here’s how it works: 🎧 Each chapter = one 20ish-minute episode You can find the latest episodes here: The Catalyst Audio Library And if you want to explore older episodes and other DMM resources, check out the full archive. How to Use This With Your TeamHere’s the beauty of this format—it’s not just for you. It’s built for multiplication. Option 1: Distribute the episode to your team to listen before your meeting. Option 2: Listen together as part of your meeting. Then facilitate a simple discussion: Ask: “What did you hear?” Then ask: “What did you learn?” Finally: “What are you going to do differently because of what you heard?” That’s it. Simple. Reproducible. Powerful. Why This MattersHere’s the thing: knowledge without application is just noise. But when you take proven principles from books like Contagious Disciple Making and turn them into team conversations that lead to action—that’s when movements multiply. The Catalyst Audio Library isn’t about adding more content to your life. It’s about making the best content accessible, actionable, and reproducible for your team. 👉 Start with Contagious Disciple Making Habits of Replicating Disciples We launched the next round of Habits of Replicating Disciples on February 26th, and I wanted to make sure you knew about it. There is still time to join us. Click Here When: Thursdays at 8:00 AM CST (-6:00 UTC) This is a 7-week intensive that covers the biblical habits that actually drive multiplication. Not theory. Not another program to manage. Just the core practices we’ve seen create movements in 59 countries. Keep MultiplyingEvery conversation. Every chapter. Every act of obedience. It all moves the Kingdom forward. You’re not building this alone. We’re here to equip you with tools that work—tools you can use and share with others. Let’s keep pressing in. The harvest is ready.
