Everyday Disciple Podcast

Was the whole “missional” thing just a passing church fad, or is there really something more to it? In this episode of the Everyday Disciple Podcast, we’ll define it for you–what it is and is not–and why it still scares a lot of pastors today. In This Episode You’ll Learn: Where the term missional comes from, and a true definition (from the Bible). Is being a missional church a new or old thing? Why this scares A LOT of pastors and elders to death! Steps to take to begin to move your church or community toward an abundant missional life and ministry. From this episode: "Discipleship is the process of moving from unbelief to belief in every area of life. So guess what? That would mean that we would have to be engaging people in every area of their lives. There's no way to do that sitting in rows. and hearing a 30 45 minute message. We can speak about certain things, but we can't engage and help people necessarily move from unbelief to belief in every area of their life if we're not seeing and touching and getting a pulse on engaging every area of life."

Why do most Christians treat the biblical commands for observing the Sabbath as a suggestion? Could this be why we live such frantic, stressful lives? Not a great witness for our neighbors! In this episode of the Everyday Disciple Podcast, we discuss the often neglected, but super-important practice of creating a rhythm of sabbath rest. Discover how Sabbath goes beyond a day off work—restoring trust in God and reconnecting your heart with His. In This Episode You'll Learn: God created us to work from rest–not the other way around. What a modern-day Sabbath might look like. How resting restores us relationally with God. Practical ways to incorporate Sabbath rest into modern life. From this episode: "Your sabbath times should be fun, restorative, and a “reset” button for your heart and life.

What would the average person who has not grown up in church think Christianity and the gospel are all about based on what they see, hear, and experience in your Sunday church service? In this episode of the Everyday Disciple Podcast, we’ll talk about how the medium we use on Sundays may be overshadowing the message we really want to share about Jesus, our Father, and his amazing kingdom. Are people leaving your worship services confused or misled? In This Episode You’ll Learn: What some of our favorite activities at church are actually saying to people. How close and yet so far off we can accidentally be in these things. Why our ‘good intentions’ are not cutting it with the culture anymore. How much of what we do in our Sunday services are confusing people. From this episode: "Assigned greeters, rowed seating, staging, lights and sound are all awesome...for a rock concert. But they may not be helping to show people what our heavenly Dad, his Son, and this life as Christians is really all about. A special few people who do most of the communication with little to no personal interaction or participation is NOT what the early church was experiencing together."

As Christians, we most often use the word “belief” in connection to our faith and the Bible, but we also have beliefs that shape our lives connected to pretty much every action or inaction in life. Sometimes these beliefs can limit our potential. In this episode of the Everyday Disciple Podcast, we'll talk about how you can identify and replace your limiting beliefs about discipleship and mission. It's time to start moving forward! In This Episode You’ll Learn: How to recognize and name any limiting beliefs you have. How to identify excuses or perceived barriers that keep you stuck. Ways to explore your unmet spiritual desires. Who you need to spend more time with to promote the changes you want. Get started here… From this episode: "God’s desire is that you would live with spiritual freedom and relational peace. This is what Jesus came to model for us and then commanded his disciples (that’s us today) to go and live the same way, making more disciples. He has placed his own Holy Spirit within in you and not given you a spirit of fear or limitations. Don’t let your limiting beliefs or fears or dead traditions stop you from embracing the life that Jesus died to give you." Each week the Big 3 will give you immediate action steps to get you started.

Have you found it hard–really hard–to move people in your church toward embracing change? Are you finding it frustrating to motivate folks to reorient their lives around discipleship, serving others, and missional living... versus a consumeristic experience of the church? In this episode of the Everyday Disciple Podcast, we'll tell you why the way you've learned to motivate people produces polarizing results. And we'll give you ways to initiate lasting change through more gospel-centered motivations. In This Episode You’ll Learn: Why the old ways of "carrot and stick" ultimately fail to motivate people. How the “DO=BE” distortion is in full effect in all of this. The difference between the Legalist and the Gospel when motivating others. How what we believe, love and fear changes everything. From this episode: "All of these ways of trying to motivate others to do something new or accept a new way of being and living, all appeal to the same thing: Self. What’s in it for me? In other words, the person you are trying to motivate is internally, subconsciously, asking themselves, with each of these types of 'motivators', what’s in it for me? Will I gain authority or popularity, wealth, will I be seen as 'more'... how will this add to my sense of value and self-worth... in my own eyes, and the perception that others have of me."

Discipleship, in many ways, is a re-parenting of people, a re-parenting of their culture. People need to understand and experience life in our perfect Father’s family and life in the Kingdom before they fully understand the love of God. Do others experience that when they hang out with your family? In this episode of the Everyday Disciple Podcast, Caesar and his wife, Tina, share exactly how their family (Team K) grew to include many others as they make disciples in community. When living as a family on mission, discipleship can naturally flow out of your normal family rhythms to include and draw more and more people to God's family! In This Episode You’ll Learn: How "Team K" was born as a family on mission and why it's a big deal! The ways that discipleship in community mirrors effective parenting. Why church leaders need to have a family worth imitating as the starting point. A heartwarming story of how others have been included in this Team K family. Get started here… From this episode: "It wasn’t long before this team was something our friends (and their friends) coveted, getting invited to a family dinner night with Team K. We always had lots of food, laughter, and encouragement to spread around, and you knew everyone was happy that you were there. There was always an extra place at the table. These meal times, along with our other Team K adventures, were the beginning of a way of life for us—a way of sharing and extending the blessings and grace that God had poured out onto our family.” Each week the Big 3 will give you immediate action steps to get you started.

Prayer was always meant to be a conversation with our heavenly Father, our Daddy. If your prayers are cold, formal, self-focused or rare, then seeing prayer as a time you get to talk with Dad will draw you to the source of all life and love. This week on the Everyday Disciple Podcast, we’ll show you how Jesus’ model for prayer leads us to pray the Good News of the gospel over every area of life. Prayer is all about experiencing the gospel in relationship with our Father! In This Episode You’ll Learn: Why Jesus always saw prayer with our Father as a relational practice. The 6 movements or “petitions” of the Lord’s Prayer. Specific (HUGE) gospel connections to each of these 6 movements. How to pray the gospel for all of life and in any situation. Get started here... From this episode: “Praying through Jesus’ pattern of prayer covers every area of life! Every fear, every need, every temptation, and every attack. Take a few minutes now to pray through the 6 movements of Jesus’ prayer pattern. At each step, personalize what you are facing, needing, asking or hoping for in that “category” of the prayer. Our heavenly Dad wants to hear it all, and waits to see you walk in trust and freedom!” Each week the Big 3 will give you immediate action steps to get you started. Download today’s BIG 3 right now.

Jesus never told his disciples (us Christians) to go to church. He never commanded us to put on big worship services and lots of programs. Instead, he called us to believe our true identity and be the church. In this episode of the Everyday Disciple Podcast, Caesar and Heath discuss how language creates culture, and how bad language leads to bad theology and bad practice. In This Episode You’ll Learn: Why it’s impossible to actually "go to church". How our American dream world and schedule make it really hard to live the life Jesus wants for us. How many non-Christian friends we have shows us whether we are living like Jesus. Why life lived in community with others is the only way discipleship truly happens. Get started here… From this episode: "Understanding who God says we are, and what is now true of us, will set you free from performance-based Christianity. The pressure is off! It really is possible to move toward living in a close community of friends (believers and not-yet believers) who are on a spiritual adventure and becoming more like Jesus. This is what true discipleship looks like." Each week the Big 3 will give you immediate action steps to get you started. Download today’s BIG 3 right now. Read and think over them again later.

Guests never do any work or preparation; family members always pitch in. We try and impress guests with our hospitality; family members expect to be “part of the flow” and help themselves to whatever they need. Are you treating people like guests or like family? In this episode of the Everyday Disciple Podcast, we ask the question: do the people coming to your church service each week, and the folks coming into your home, feel more like guests or like part of the family? Caesar is joined by his wife, Tina, to share how and why you can help everyone feel like true brothers and sisters. In This Episode You’ll Learn: Why treating everyone like family is a picture of the Gospel. What people really need… and it’s NOT your perfectly clean house. How our Sunday services can help people feel like family rather than visitors or guests. How our language reveals our true heart and intentions in all of this. Get started here… From this episode: "Helping others feel like part of a family, rather than guests to a program, is the key to really experiencing the gospel in action. Whether at home or at a church service, it is important to remember: these people are your brothers and sisters. Do they feel like they are at home and are needed?"

Often we let others' sins define them and divide us. But our ongoing involvement and relationships, especially with those we think of as "sinners", begin with our own profound grasp of God’s grace. In this episode of the Everyday Disciple Podcast, we'll see why Jesus came to be called a friend of sinners. And I'll share the journey we've been on to earn that same moniker for ourselves as we make disciples where we live. In This Episode You’ll Learn: The #1 thing we have in common with everyone else in life. How to know if you're a "clean" sinner or a "dirty" sinner. Why Jesus hung out with the outsiders and why we want to as well. How I came to be known as the Pub Pastor. 😄 Get started here... From this episode: "Christians will cite John 15:14 ('You are my friends if you do what I command.') as their justification for not wanting to hang out with those they see as "sinners". What a horrible example of proof-texting! The entire passage there has Jesus explaining how he loved his disciples and chose them while they were still jacked up and far from God. Can you imagine a parent saying that to their kids, "You are only my child when you obey me, otherwise, I don’t love you." What? That would be crazy! That is the exact opposite of the heart of our Father and his son Jesus." Each week the Big 3 will give you immediate action steps to get you started. Download today’s BIG 3 right now.

To disciple someone in all aspects of life requires a deliberate level of intentionality. It is essential to engage in everyday activities together and integrate discipleship and training into these ordinary moments. This week on the Everyday Disciple Podcast, we talk about a form of discipleship that includes cigars, fireplaces, and maybe an occasional glass of fine spirits. Some of you will LOVE this… some will be freaked out! In This Episode You’ll Learn: A little about the environment that Jesus discipled in. (Hint: it was never a classroom.) Why it’s vital to disciple and model the gospel in normal rhythms of life. Caesar and Heath’s personal experience and model for doing “Cigars & Theology” as a part of their community life and discipleship. Alternatives that may work better in your church and context. Get started here... From this episode: “The Good News is just as good (and sometimes better) experienced with a cold beverage and friends. Don’t think that God somehow looks down on your efforts of discipleship if they are not done in a church building. Your old school board members may, but God does not. Jesus went into all the places participating in the customs that the people he loved did. You can too... it’s okay.” Each week the Big 3 will give you immediate action steps to get you started.

Everyone I know feels maxed out on their schedules with the commitments they already have. Yet we are all living with a rhythm that provides one of the most valuable and recurring opportunities for discipleship in our families: Dinner. This week on the Everyday Disciple Podcast, we show you how to re-tool and repurpose your Family Dinner Nights in a way that will make them fun, more focused, and a perfect way to engage in discipleship and missional rhythms as a family—naturally. In This Episode You’ll Learn: How few families are eating meals (with intention) together these days. What you're missing out on if you are not having special family dinner nights. Why your mealtimes are the best opportunity for discipleship as a family. Step-by-step help to make Family Dinner Nights an amazing part of your discipleship and an ongoing legacy. Get started here… From this episode: "Start by picking one meal per week that you can bring greater intentionality to. Agree that these times will not be about problem solving or discipline.

Make these special dinner nights a time where 'grace' is the watchword for all that you do and experience together."   Each week the Big 3 will give you immediate action steps to get you started.

Imagine having two pairs of animals—a pair of rabbits and a pair of elephants. Both male and female. After 36 months, you'll have three elephants due to their lengthy gestation period. However, during the same period, the rabbit population would multiply into the millions. The contrast lies in the reproductive nature of rabbits, which is rapid, while elephants take a significantly longer time to reproduce. In this episode of the Everyday Disciple Podcast, Caesar and Dan Grider delve into the implications of the Church adopting a rabbit colony mentality versus a Trojan elephant approach. This insightful discussion carries significant implications for all of us. In This Episode You’ll Learn: Whether your church is a "rabbit colony" or a "Trojan elephant". Which model Jesus initiated for disciple-making. Why many 'micro-churches' still function with elephant DNA. How relationships of trust are built that lead to new disciples. Get started here… From this episode: “I think one of the challenges the American church is dealing with is a lot of churches have elephant DNA regardless of their size. I've seen organic, missional communities that meet in a microbrewery, and they're smoking cigars, and they're talking about Jesus, but they still have much more of an elephant DNA than they really realize.” Each week the Big 3 will give you immediate action steps to get you started.

A recent survey asked, "If you could say in one word what you want more of in life, what would that be?" Very surprisingly, LOVE didn't even make the top 10! Could it be that money and fleeting happiness have replaced the need for love in our lives? In this episode of the Everyday Disciple Podcast, Caesar concludes the Advent Series as he talks about the truth that because God is gracious, we can experience love in the deepest ways. In This Episode You’ll Learn: The final look at 4 eternal truths about God that transform us. (The 4 G's) Why we don’t know or understand true love in our lives and relationships. How we no longer have to perform for God, and why we don’t get to. Why it's important to understand what we actually deserve from God. Get started here… From this episode: “When we don’t believe we have God’s grace, we try to prove ourselves to other people. I want other people to be impressed by me. We may want to fit in or get other people’s approval. I want to earn their love. And we certainly don’t want other people finding out what we’re like inside. We wear masks to hide our real selves from people. Wearing the mask can be a great strain: it’s like acting a role all the time. But we dare not let other people see us as we really are.” Each week the Big 3 will give you immediate action steps to get you started. Download today’s BIG 3 right now.

For hundreds of years, the church has anticipated the coming of Jesus during the season of Advent. Into this space, this void, the angels announced to the shepherds the good news of Jesus that would bring great joy to all people. In this episode of the Everyday Disciple Podcast, Caesar continues the Advent Series as he looks at the truth that God is good so we can find satisfaction and joy. Believing that God always does what is good, right, and perfect will change how you view everything and everyone in your life! In This Episode You’ll Learn: The third of four eternal truths about God that transforms us. (The 4 G's) Why we search for satisfaction and joy to fill the "hunger" in our lives. How Jesus is the better fulfillment of all your hunger and lack of joy! How to find the unbelief and actions that are keeping you from finding joy. Get started here… From this episode: “God created us with hunger for our own Good. God isn’t manipulating us, but sustaining us – keeping us alive. The very fact that we are the ‘created’ and He is the ‘Creator’ proves that we need him – we wouldn’t exist without him – He is the source of all life. God is the greatest and most glorious being that exists, and he created us as an expression of who he is. Our hunger is a continual reminder that this is all about him and not us – our ongoing need reminds us that God is the one we turn to for life.” Each week the Big 3 will give you immediate action steps to get you started.

The peace Jesus came to bring was not coercive or backed up by military might, and it was not the type of peace that most of the world was looking for. The announcement of the Messiah’s birth heralded something different and transformational. In this episode of the Everyday Disciple Podcast, Caesar continues the Advent Series as he looks at the truth that God is glorious so we don't have to fear others. Believing this leads us to peace in relationships, peace with ourselves, and peace with God. In This Episode You’ll Learn: The second of four eternal truths about God that transforms us. (The 4 G's) The ways that the "fear of man" may be ruining your life and relationships. How Jesus came to bring peace to all of mankind and the world. How to find the unbelief and actions that are keeping you from having peace. Get started here… From this episode: "Think about what your fears and the need for other’s approval have produced in your heart and life… comparisons to others, avoiding any or all confrontations or deeper conversations, susceptibility to peer pressure, or the need to always be liked by everyone. Do you enjoy living this way? The answer to the fear of man in our lives is a bigger understanding of the fear of God and his true glory. For those who trust Jesus, the fear of God no longer involves terror; he’s our Father, and we come before him with confidence through Christ."

The story of Christ's birth is a story of promise, hope, and revolutionary love. So, what happened? What was once a time to celebrate the birth of a savior has somehow turned into a season of stress, shopping lists, and debt. In this episode of the Everyday Disciple Podcast, Caesar starts a special Advent Series by diving deep into the greatness of God and how believing this changes what and Who we put our hope in this holiday season, and in everyday life. In This Episode You’ll Learn: The four eternal truths about God that change everything. (The 4 G's) Why we continue trusting in "self" yet hoping for more. How Jesus was born to bring and fulfill hope! How to discern the areas of life you are still trying to control. Get started here… From this episode: "For me the issue is escapism. I have to choose between a fantasy in which I am sovereign and the real world in which God is sovereign. I have to choose between my false sovereignty and God’s real sovereignty. And you know what? I suck at being God. I am NOT sovereign. I am NOT in actual control of anything. Where's the hope in that?!" Each week the Big 3 will give you immediate action steps to get you started.

We all seem to put people into a box–labeling them in ways that we can either easily dismiss, or categorically aspire to, without really getting into the messiness of really knowing them. Most are likely to say that stereotypes are not true, yet they still exist and influence our perceptions in profound ways. This week on the Everyday Disciple Podcast, we look at the reality that not only have we stereotyped certain people and groups in life, but the same has happened to us. We talk about changing five horrible stereotypes Christians are known for. In This Episode You’ll Learn: Why humans want to stereotype and label others. Ways that the media shapes unhelpful stereotypes about Christians. How Jesus was hard to label because he moved in a “third way”. 5 stereotypes that Christians need to change about us immediately. Get started here… From this episode: “I fear that some of our listeners may want us to come down way harder left or right on this issue, but again I have to say, my heart breaks that culturally there exists a stereotype that says that Christians, God’s kids, and by extension maybe God himself, is anti-anybody. That goes so against the gospel!”   Each week the Big 3 will give you immediate action steps to get you started. Download today’s BIG 3 right now. Read and think over them again later.

When we can be honest about where we’re at with our problems and in our own spiritual life, it permits others to do the same. Ask yourself, do others feel safe to approach you, even with their sins and screw-ups? This week on the Everyday Disciple Podcast, we’ll show you why it’s important to let others see the redemption that is taking place in your life. Letting others know that you are truly a work in progress and that God is still at work shaping and changing you will transform your relationships. In This Episode You’ll Learn: The one thing we have most in common with every other human being. How your own redemption lights a path to God for others. How to make God the hero of your life in every conversation. Why it’s important to stop worrying about “who’s in” and “who’s out”. Get started here… From this episode: “Give God the credit due for the changes that are happening in your life and faith. This will give others hope that He can do the same in their life! Start living more openly about all of this with your spouse and others who are close to you and really know you. Speaking about your own redemption is part of growing in gospel fluency.”   Each week the Big 3 will give you immediate action steps to get you started. Download today’s BIG 3 right now.

Discipleship starts in your home and works its way out through relationships. So our families and marriages need to be the “red hot center” of discipleship that we invite others into. But what happens if you’re trying to live on Mission and your spouse is not into it? This week on the Everyday Disciple Podcast, we talk about the challenges that come up when we are not on the same page as a couple when it comes to discipleship and mission. Whether a not-yet-believer or your spouse is just not into this “missional thing”, we’ll help you break through and live the life you’ve been called to live! In This Episode You’ll Learn: What the Bible teaches about having an “unbelieving” spouse. Why no Christians get a pass on making disciples. How to start where you’re at, with what you CAN do, rather than focusing on the limitations. 10+ ideas to get you started living on Mission even if your spouse is not into it. Get started here… From this episode: “If your Believing spouse is choosing to live without a sense of missional impulse, not interested in making disciples of Jesus, it is often either ignorance, because the church doesn’t really teach this a whole lot, or some sort of unbelief that’s keeping them from this life.”   Each week the Big 3 will give you immediate action steps to get you started.

One of today’s biggest and most vigorously debated issues is gun control. Statistics show Americans of all persuasions and political affiliations have become increasingly opposed to more gun control laws, despite the growing number of mass shootings. Yet clearly, some cry out for greater gun control. This week on the Everyday Disciple Podcast, we talk with Caesar’s son, a former Marine and now an attorney, to gain a better understanding of the issue of gun control from a legal, Christian, and Gospel perspective. The issue of gun control from a Christian perspective is not black and white. All of this is fueled by past and present history, personal pain, and plenty of emotion. In This Episode You’ll Learn: What the Second Amendment actually says and the context in which it was originally written. Why new gun control laws are so hard to get passed in America and abroad. If the Bible and Jesus ever advocate for either lethal self-defense or passivity. How the gospel speaks into this issue and how we can help today. Get started here… From this episode: “Understand that the life, privilege and safety you enjoy today in your life is not the same for everyone, but it absolutely does affect how people of other ethnicities, socio-economic levels, and religions view this issue.”   Each week the Big 3 will give you immediate action steps to get you started.

Pastors and other ministry leaders are often under so much stress that they find themselves hanging on by a thread, oftentimes for years, ready to burn out from exhaustion or blow out morally. This is a huge problem facing the Church today. In this episode of the Everyday Disciple Podcast, we talk about the alarming number of high-profile church leaders resigning, being fired, or walking away from the faith and why this may be happening so often. Is the Church a black hole for leaders? Why aren’t more pastors overflowing with the love, joy and the peace of the Lord in their lives, families, and ministries? What is the cause of their emotional problems and moral failures? In This Episode You’ll Learn: Why we didn’t see this type of “leadership burnout” with Jesus and his disciples. Alarming statistics about the levels of stress and low emotional and moral health of today’s pastors. Why the ‘model’ that many churches follow is leading to leadership fallout. Steps to take TODAY if you’re on the brink of resigning, being fired or burning out. Get started here… From this episode: “The constant expectations that people put on their pastors, and their families–and that pastors put on themselves–can be devastating. Pastors are expected to be “on” and ready to give stellar leadership, neverending compassion, awe-inspiring messages, anointed prayer, and non-stop words of encouragement…pretty much all the time, not just on Sundays!”   Each week the Big 3 will give you immediate action steps to get you started.

Every sin and emotional issue that stands in the way of our faithfulness to God’s design, and Jesus’ commands, is ultimately a Gospel issue. The Bible teaches that all sin is the outcome of unbelief in God. We can learn to apply the truth about God and the Good News to every area of our lives. In this episode, Caesar is joined by two different disciple-making practitioners as they talk about how they've learned to speak the good news of the Gospel into their family life and with those in their church. This is a very practical example of Gospel Fluency in action. In This Episode You'll Learn: How Tina has learned to "gospel" her own heart and areas of unbelief. Why taking the time to learn and practice the language of the Gospel is essential. The ways Pastor Tim is using his Gospel Fluency in leading the church. The importance of learning to speak, live and enjoy the Gospel in ALL of life! Get started here... From this episode: "I've been learning this and trying to wrestle through it for years. And it's really helping to identify my unbelief and what that is. It comes up in so many different ways. And I think it's easier to see in my kids and talk, talk to them about it versus my own heart. But one of the biggest impacts has been speaking the gospel to myself and being able to recognize my deep need for trusting in who God is and remembering that."   Each week the Big 3 will give you immediate action steps to get you started.

When you become fluent in the Gospel, it's like speaking the language of freedom and joy. You won't have to fear rejection when sharing your faith with others because your words will be so genuine and full of hope that they will resonate deeply with them. In this episode, Caesar is joined by his wife Tina as they talk about next steps in learning how the Gospel speaks into any and every area of life… And in a way that is both delivered in normal conversation and received as really good news by others.

From this episode: "The gospel is good news for every area of your life—not just your afterlife. It transforms every corner of your existence. So often people think that Christianity is about avoiding hell and going to heaven. And as we wait, it’s a lot of sin management and behavior modification. No. It's about embracing a new way of life that starts right now, a life filled with hope, love, and purpose."   Each week the Big 3 will give you immediate action steps to get you started.

From this episode: "There's a difference between meeting to discuss the Bible and meeting around the gospel. I could've quoted scripture to my son and it might fall like science facts on him or something, or like a history lesson. He didn't need some verse, some proverb quoted to him. He needed the gospel. He needed to be reminded of what's true of God and therefore true of him."   Each week the Big 3 will give you immediate action steps to get you started. Download today’s BIG 3 right now.

Nothing has exposed the gap between the church and the broader society quite like the cultural argument over sexuality. Relationships, identities, orientations and even seemingly straightforward concepts such as gender have cut battle lines between the church and the world. In this episode, we speak to Debra Hirsch, author of the book Redeeming Sex, and discover a holistic, biblical vision of sex and gender that honors God and offers good news to the world. Deb reflects on some of her own journey with us as she brings fresh language and insightful definitions of sexuality into the context of the church. When you consider the world from the perspective of God's kingdom mission, it turns out the smoke clears and a redemptive imagination takes root. In This Episode You'll Learn: Why sex and sexuality is such a “hot-button” issue for the church What the church and Christians need to wake up to concerning sex How our understanding of sexuality can deepen our relationship with God How the search for intimacy in relationships mirrors our search for God Get started here... From this episode: "God doesn’t rank sin. None of us are perfect or without sin in some area of our life. God loves us where we are and he does not label any one type of sin worse or more offensive than any others. Jesus died for ALL sin and longs to redeem every part of our lives and relationships back to God’s loving design."   Each week the Big 3 will give you immediate action steps to get you started.

Leading people to new places in life and ministry can be hard. Too often our churches and small groups are primarily focused on… well, ourselves.

Why so many leaders in the church today are MAXED OUT. What is keeping discipleship from being many pastors' key focus. The importance of finding the help you need to develop new discipleship rhythms for yourself and others NOW.

Somewhere along the way, we have mistakenly made it acceptable in the church to be a Christian but not a disciple. But Jesus never offered two acceptable standards for living the Christian life, just one: disciples of Jesus make more disciples. In this episode of the Everyday Disciple Podcast, I am joined by authors Kent Ingle and Steve Saccone. We discuss discipleship challenges facing the church today, and they share a process for disciple-making laid out clearly in their new book, Made For More. These guys are super smart and you will love this! In This Episode You’ll Learn: What has led to our current lack of discipleship in the church today. The ways Steve and Kent were discipled early in their lives. How an unwavering connection to God needs to be the foundation of your life.

It would seem fair to believe that all Christians are interested in making disciples of Jesus–not converts–disciples. But statistically, the majority of Christians are not focused on being and making disciples of Jesus. In this episode of the Everyday Disciple Podcast, we challenge the assumption that all Christians are automatically People of Peace. We discuss the importance of being discerning about who we actually disciple, and we talk about the need to be willing to walk away from relationships with people who are not open to discipleship. In This Episode You’ll Learn: Surprising statistics about the faith practice Christians have outside Sunday services. Everyone you meet or who likes you is not going to be a Person of Peace in your life. Not every Christian is a Person of Peace and wants to live a lifestyle of discipleship. Why it is important to discern who your actual People of Peace are. Each week the Big 3 will give you immediate action steps to get you started. Download today’s BIG 3 right now.

Have most of us Christians given up on traditional forms of sharing our faith? Let’s be honest… It’s scary to risk things relationally, and the results are often disappointing. In this episode of the Everyday Disciple Podcast, we talk about the ways that many Christians experience (or avoid) evangelism. And we ask the question: Does evangelism need to change for the church today? Many people still associate evangelism with a Billy Graham approach, door-to-door soul winning, or strategic speeches that “share the Gospel”. But what if the biblical precedent was more of a normal day-to-day rhythm? In This Episode You’ll Learn: What “evangelism” really is and what it looked and sounded like in the Bible. Why evangelism and discipleship were never meant to be two separate practices. How discipleship must include ongoing evangelism for Believers and unbelievers alike. Your responsibility when it comes to evangelism.   Each week the Big 3 will give you immediate action steps to get you started. Download today’s BIG 3 right now. Read and think over them again later.
