A drill is a Discovery Bible Study on a very short passage — one to three verses, long enough to carry a truth that stands on its own and short enough to run in a few minutes.
Drills are for repetition. A church does not have to convert its classes to discovery to get the benefit: open one of these at the top of a class you already run, walk the same cycle, and close it. Do that most weeks and the structure stops being something people are taught and becomes something they can do — with a neighbour, at a kitchen table, with no preparation and no warning.
Pick by book below. Every drill opens the same study sheet as any other study in the catalogue, with the same four questions.

How to use a Bible study plan
Read one passage at a time together and ask a few simple questions: What does this tell us about God? About people? What will you obey this week, and who will you share it with? Simple, repeatable, and easy to pass on.
