From the author
MEDS was first inspired, developed, and informally tested by prison inmates from 2005 through 2009 at Muskegon Correctional Facility in Michigan, and has since spread to many believers in and beyond prison walls. The author writes with a single aim: that each disciple would have God's Word permanently rooted, grounded, and established in his heart.

Definition of Seeds
SEEDS are units of spiritual revelation of Bible truth that progressively increase the Presence and Power of Jesus Christ in believers' lives, in direct proportion to their heart mastery of them.
Mission Statement
To significantly aid multitudes of believers to conceptually engraft God's Word on their hearts through the enjoyment of fellowship and facilitate a more intimate and vibrant relationship with Jesus Christ.
In his own words
This Christ-centered discipleship, while different from traditional approaches used by many Bible teachers, has proven to be highly effective for many believers who have successfully rooted, grounded, and established God's Word in their hearts uniquely and abundantly.
On the heart, not the head · Preface
MEDS' very unique dynamic involves learning primarily through listening to and then speaking back the concepts within a seed. The discipleship is divinely designed for the learning to primarily occur through the mutual fellowship between believers — usually two, sometimes more.
Speak it back · Introduction
Each believer who dispenses the seeds to help others should approach this worthy endeavor as a servant. Indeed, the one who brings the food to the table is not considered greater than the one he is serving.
Be a servant · Mutuality & Cooperation
Genuine and authentic discipleship in Christ always focuses mainly on inward transformation, which is the result of an intimate relationship with Christ by His Spirit and Word.
Inward, not outward · Inward Transformation
MEDS is not discipleship based on memorization, but rather depends on a process we call conceptual learning.
Conceptual learning · Conceptual Learning
The conceptual learning in this discipleship is cultivated primarily through the pleasure of fellowship.
Through the pleasure of fellowship · Enjoyment of Fellowship
We make no practice of the giving or taking of any rank, status, or titles. Every disciple/learner is considered a servant-minister qualified to teach each seed he has learned just as soon as he masters its concepts.
Every disciple a teacher · All Become Equipped to Teach
MEDS is not a finite discipleship program to be completed. Instead, it is a discipleship lifestyle of continuously and habitually engraving divine truth on each participant's heart.
Not a program — a lifestyle · Structure of MEDS
In MEDS' proper practice, the disciple does not learn the second seed until he masters the first seed. He begins fellowship in the third seed only after he reviews the first seed and masters the second.
One at a time · Process of MEDS
Ultimately, the goal is that each seed becomes progressively and firmly rooted, grounded, and established in each believer's heart.
Rooted, grounded, established · Process of MEDS
Each disciple has testified to a striking increase in intimacy with Jesus. They spend more time with Him than before, and the Lord increasingly transforms them from the inside-out.
From the inside out · Results of MEDS
We strongly encourage every ministry, minister, and believer to give MEDS an honest try. Take the liberty to change any seed if you are persuaded by the Word and the Spirit, with godly humility, that you need to do so to continue forward in good conscience.
