The Library That Multiplies With You


Welcome to Replication Essentials


Ask Mercy Alliance

Two questions for you this week:

  1. Which DMM book has had the biggest impact on your ministry — and is it in the Catalyst Library yet?
  2. What language does your team need most? We're adding new languages every day and your answer shapes what comes next.

Hit reply and let us know. We read every response.


What if the most influential books on Disciple Making Movements were available to you — chapter by chapter, in your language, in 20 minutes or less?

That's exactly what the Catalyst Library makes possible.

We've taken the books that have shaped movements around the world and broken them down into short, focused audio episodes — each around 20 minutes long. Designed for teams, leaders, and communities who are serious about multiplication but don't have time to sit down with a 300-page book.

And it's growing. Every week we're adding more books and more languages.

👉 Explore the Catalyst Library​


Key Insight #1: The Best Books on DMM Aren't Multiplying

Here's the honest truth. The principles that have fueled movements around the world are sitting inside books that most people never finish.

Not because people don't want to read them. Because life is busy. Teams are scattered. And 300 pages is a lot to ask.

The Catalyst Library solves that. It takes the most important content and makes it accessible, reproducible, and available in multiple languages — so the principles that are multiplying movements around the world can multiply in your context too.


Key Insight #2: It's Built for Teams, Not Just Individuals

This isn't just a personal study tool. It's a team development engine.

Here's how to use it with your team:

Option 1: Share the episode before your meeting. Everyone arrives on the same page.

Option 2: Listen together as part of your meeting.

Then ask three simple questions:

  • "What did you hear?" — Use "Is that all?" to go deeper
  • "What did you learn?"
  • "What will you do differently?"

Three questions. Twenty minutes of audio. One conversation that moves your team forward.


Key Insight #3: It Speaks Your Language

The gospel doesn't just speak English. And neither does the Catalyst Library.

We're adding new languages every day — because we believe every leader around the world deserves access to these tools in their heart language.

If you're working cross-culturally, select your language and explore what's available. If you're on a feature phone, look for the download button on each chapter page to save episodes for offline listening.


Key Insight #4: It's Growing — And You Can Shape It

Right now the Catalyst Library has 5+ books, 100+ chapters, and 14+ languages. And we're adding more every single day.

Is there a book you'd love to see in the library? A language your team needs?

Let us know. This library is being built for you — and your input shapes what gets added next.

Replication Essentials: Featuring Designed to SpreadPowered by Mercy Alliance Welcome to Replication Essentials Harry Brown and I have walked this road together for a long time now. I've watched him wrestle with the same questions I've wrestled with, fail at some of the same things I've failed at, and land on some of the same hard-won convictions I've landed on. So when Harry writes a book, I pay attention. He tells a story that's stuck with me since the first time I heard him tell it. Years...
