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, Noah Davis, and Bryson Davis continue their study of biblical “principle”, explaining how general teachings give inclusive guidance that can be applied in various ways, while specific commands are authoritative and must shape belief and practice.
This episode of One More Chapter continues the series on Bible study by introducing the idea of “principle” as a way to bridge what a passage originally meant and what it means today, after first stressing purpose and context. The team takes a long–but useful–detour into Bible translations and versions—covering textual preservation, the spectrum from word-for-word to paraphrase, group vs. single-translator work, Dead Sea Scrolls, and which editions they personally use (NASB 1995, ESV, NIV 1984, etc.). The discussion on ‘principle’ will continue in the next episode!
This episode explores how understanding the purpose behind a Bible passage helps bridge the gap between what it originally meant and how it should shape life today. Brian, Noah, and Bryson discuss how purpose protects against shallow, checklist-style interpretation and helps distinguish enduring principles and examples from incidental details.
Brian Rex Davis sits down with Sahadevudu Vanga of India, a fellow missionary since gospel meetings in 1995. They talk about World Bible School’s renewed work in India and the effort to put Telugu translations and advanced courses—especially The Kingdom of God—into digital form. The conversation also covers family ministry, cultural care in a changing India, and tools that serve the next generation of the church.
