D-Life is not a program; it's a lifestyle.

"Give a man a fish and you'll feed him for a day.
Teach a man to fish and you'll feed him for life."

While we may like this quote on a coffee mug, we don't often practice it in real life. 
​Sadly, many are content to give a man a fish and to feed him for a day.
​This presents a real problem for today's church.

​Jesus said, "Follow me and I will make you fishers of men" (Matthew 4:19). This is why you will love D-Life. The purpose of D-Life is to teach a man to fish. With D-Life, you can equip and empower everyone in your ministry for a lifestyle of disciple-making.

Disciple-making was never meant to be a program of the church, but the lifestyle of every believer. By following the six practices of disciple-making modeled by Jesus, D-Life will give you the tool you need to build a true disciple-making culture in your ministry.

Dr. Bill Wilks

Dr. Bill Wilks is the author of D-Life and has been a lead pastor for over thirty years. He's had the joy of serving as Lead Pastor of NorthPark Church in Trussville, Alabama, since 1999. He frequently teaches as an adjunct professor at the Birmingham extension of the New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary. 

​He and his wife, Rondie, are passionate about disciple-making. Together they have traveled the country to train thousands of believers for a lifestyle of disciple-making.

Through D-Life, God has given Dr. Wilks a vision of a better reality for the church. It’s a vision of multiethnic and multigenerational discipleship groups meeting and multiplying in homes, schools, restaurants, coffeehouses, parks, prisons, gyms, and places of business all over the world. The goal of D-Life is to see a global grassroots disciple-making movement. Dr. Wilks is highly committed to this movement.

D-Life Testimony

I use the D-Life weekly study guides for my personal devotion and also with my D-Group. When leading conferences or when I’m consulting with a church, I share with them about D-Life. I use D-Life because it is Bible based. Nothing creates spiritual growth better than the daily discipline of reading and studying God’s Word. D-Life is discussion oriented so that everyone can be involved. The discussion questions are great. Another reason I use D-Life is the emphasis on shared responsibilities. Each week a different person has a job. They are “praying it," “telling it," “reading it," or “leading it." The goal of my D-Life group is to reproduce disciple-makers. After a few months of D-Life, everyone is experienced and they have all they need to lead a new D-Group.
