Tutorial: How To Use Premium Bible Studies
Welcome To MDN’s On-Demand Team Disciplelship™. In this tutorial, we’ll show you step-by-step how to use our premium Bible Studies and how to make it easily accessible for your men.
1. Choose A Bible Study
Choose the Bible Study you’d like to use. We recommend When We Become Men which is our flagship Team Discipleship™ Bible Study. This comes with everything you need. For this tutorial, we’ll use this Bible Study.
Under Premium Bible Studies, select, When We Become Men. Click “Pricing & Registration.” If you’re using this with 6 or more men, we ask for you to choose the “Churches” option. If you’re a small group of 3-5 men, pick the SEAL Team option.
2. Registration
Click register and then fill out the form.
If you have never registered on our new MDNTeam.com website, you’ll be asked to create an account.
If you have already registered or created an account before and you are logged in, the boxes should be mostly filled out for you already.
If you have an access or discount code, please use it in the gold box that says “Access Code.”
After you fill out the form and payment, click “get access now.”
3. Dashboard
You will be redirected to a welcome page and directed to access your Dashboard. You will also receive a confirmation email as well as an email with the link and access code for your men. If you do not receive that access code, please email us at [email protected] and we’ll make sure you get it.
In your dashboard, you’ll see links to start episode 1, access your profile, and see all the episodes.
Below that, you and your men will have quick and easy access to all of the follow-up content: This includes downloadable files, follow-up devotionals, and audio versions of each episode.
Downloadable Files
In the downloadable files, you’ll see the PDF Participant Manual. At this time, When We Become Men only has a digital PDF, so you can click to download that. When a printed version becomes available at an additional donation, we will let you know. Other Bible Studies like The Mission-Driven Man and WEAPONS come with both a PDF and additional printed participant manuals.
Next is the Host/Leader Guide. This provides you with a step-by-step process and guide for how to use the Bible Studies. While this is just a guide, after 25 years of men’s ministry, we’ve found this to be a great template for weekly or monthly men’s meetings.
Lastly here are email templates. We want to make it as easy for you as possible, so all you have to do is copy/paste and update the highlighted areas with your church name, website, and the Access Code. These will be sent to your men for kick-off and as a follow-up to each episode after each time you meet.
As you can see, each episode email comes with direct links to the follow-up content, including the devotional, audio version, and the episode overview itself. All they need to do is register on our website using the link and access code.
Follow-up Devotionals & Audio
Back in the Dashboard, you and your men will have quick and easy access to the follow-up devotionals as well as the audio episodes. The audio is the same content as the video, we just wanted to make it easy for men to listen on their way to work or whenever they listen to podcasts. Once again, these links should be sent to them after each episode as a follow-up from the email templates. We recommend scheduling them out for the day after you meet.
4. Episode/Session Overview
Now that we’ve gone through the Dashboard, let’s explore one episode so you can see everything that is available.
In Episode 1 of When We Become Men, you’ll immediately see the video, resources, and key points.
The Video can be brought into a full screen or can be casted to your device. If you prefer to download the video to use on your device, click the “Vimeo” link in the video and download from Vimeo. While we allow you to download the video, please note that this must remain with the group that has purchased and is not allowed to be redistributed to other churches or groups.
Next, you’ll see all of the options that are also in your Dashboard, the manual, devotional, audio, and more episodes.
To the right on desktop or below on mobile, you’ll also see the key man-nerism, scripture, and Team Question along with a scripture trail and keywords.
If you have any problems or questions regarding how to use the video or how to use this section as a whole, please email us at [email protected] and we’ll be glad to help you.
Next, under follow-up resources you’ll see links to follow-up devotionals, our weekly 7AM Bible Studies, and easy access to our free Bible studies. We meet each week at 7AM on Zoom. To get access and reminders to those meetings, click here.
Below that, you also have links to the meditation and promo videos that can be used with each episode.
5. Account Overview
One final but important note is regarding your account. In the top right on desktop or toward the bottom of the menu on mobile, you’ll see a button that says, “My account.” When you click that button or “Account Overview” it will take you to your account page.
You’ll be able to see your account details, subscriptions, and on the Donations tab, you’ll be able to download a PDF of your receipt. And whenever you register for a premium or free bible study, those will show up in the other two tabs and take you to those Bible Study dashboards.
6. Conclusion
That concludes our tutorial on how to use our premium Bible Studies. Now it’s up to you to determine how you want your Team kick-off event to look as well as your weekly or monthly team discipleship meetings to run.
