World Bible School is excited to announce a new course on Mathetis, “Something Happened When I Prayed,” from our author partner, Dan Winkler. This new course leads us into the throne room of God, alerting us to all that goes on up there when we pray down here. Winkler writes, “Prayer helps so much but can hurt so deeply. It demonstrates the depth of our trust but can destroy our faith. It draws us close to God but can make God feel far away.” This course is designed to show us God hears and God is near.
This course can be paired with Winkler’s book, “Something Happened When I Prayed.” He has also written the “Study Guide for ‘Prayer’” which can be used by Bible class teachers and small group leaders.
Dan Winkler lives in Spring Hill, TN with his wife, Diane. He has shared the story of Jesus on university campuses, in churches, convention centers and living rooms all across the U.S.
Winkler has written two additional books from D&D Publications which accompany Mathetis courses “Forgiven, Forgiving and Free” and “Grace: Simply Incredible, Incredibly Simple.” He has also written several books within his family’s publication company, Winkler Publications.

In this episode of One More Chapter, Brian Rex Davis and his co-hosts Noah and Bryson Continue their discussion of the concepts of purpose, principle, and precedent and how they help bridge the gap between meaning and application. They classify different types of biblical precedents—such as accepting both the practice and principle of baptism, retaining principles while adapting culturally bound practices like greetings or modesty, and rejecting both when Scripture indicates—and illustrate necessary inference through Peter’s experience with Cornelius in Acts 10–11.

This episode of One More Chapter continues the series on Bible study principles for bridging the gap between a passage’s original meaning and its application today. Hosts Brian Rex Davis, Noah Davis, and Bryson Davis review “purpose” and “principle,” then focus on “precedent”, emphasizing how approved apostolic examples establish binding patterns when they carry theological significance—while incidental details do not.
