Does your current ministry role and lifestyle help you realize and experience what people in your city really face–the things that are really on their hearts? Believers and not-yet-believers? Maybe God has been preparing you for the next part of his calling on your life. In this episode of The Everyday Disciple Podcast, Caesar talks with longtime pastor, Tim McIntyre from New York City. You'll hear how energized for ministry and life he has become after he started working a 2nd job in his city. You will love Tim's heart and his NY accent! In This Episode You'll Learn: Your calling may or may not be in full-time ministry... it could be both! The dangers of living and working in a "Christian bubble". The benefits of regularly working outside the walls of the Church. How God may be preparing you now for what's next in life. From this episode... "Whatever you do for a nine to five, it's more than likely your vocation. God's called you to what you're doing, and what you're doing in there is just as significant as any leader in a church. Even if it doesn't encompass church work. You know what? You are there nine to five, five days a week. Listen, you're there to be a representation of Christ. That's what you've gotta enjoy that and find joy in it and find mission in there, and find purpose in that because it matters."

Are you living a “Kingdom of God lifestyle” today, in a very real sense? Do you feel like growth, abundance, and victory are all a part of your community life and church experience? This week on the Everyday Disciple Podcast, Caesar and Heath talk about how Jesus explained normal life and growth in the Kingdom of God. As more and more of us are starting, shifting to, and living in missional communities, we often wonder if we're “doing it right”. Does this work in every context for everyone? Do all missional communities grow and multiply? How much should this become a lifestyle versus a series of cooler meetings and hangouts? In This Episode You'll Learn: The true definition of a Missional Community defined. Caesar's story of a pretty rocky start to all of this

People love to give their opinions about how you're doing things… but sometimes the best way to care for others and yourself is to stop caring about what certain people think. This week on the Everyday Disciple Podcast, we look at the types of people you'll need to stop listening to in order to truly make disciples and live on mission. This will be refreshing! In This Episode You'll Learn: How our desire for acceptance is hard-wired into us from birth. Why what others say or think can often stop us from moving forward. The 3 types of people you may be listening to. Who specifically you need to STOP listening to! http://getpodcast.reviews/id/1209249450 (Get started here...) https://everydaydisciple.com/listen () From this episode: “It's been said that people would care a lot less about what others think about them if they knew how little others think about them. And it's true: if you're worried about how you come across to someone you've just met or had a conversation with, keep in mind that they're probably doing the same thing.”   Each week the Big 3 will give you immediate action steps to get you started. https://123lifeschool.clickfunnels.com/big-3-download () Download today's https://everydaydisciple.com/big3 (BIG 3 right now).

Who's ‘in'... who's ‘out'… Are we really called to treat everyone like a part of the family? Or is this more of an expression of how we should try to live, primarily with other Christians? This week on the Everyday Disciple Podcast, we'll show you what scripture teaches and try and convince you that God wants you to treat everyone like they are part of your family.  Treating others like they are family is an extension of the Good News. A place at your table is a place at our Heavenly Dad's table. Sharing your resources, home, and time is sharing all that God has poured into your life for your pleasure and for his glory. All of this so that the world would know, love, and trust Him. In This Episode You'll Learn: A Biblical outline of how God created humanity and sees all of his image-bearers. The distinction of what it means to be a “child of God”. What happens when we treat everyone like family and let God sort out where they'll spend their eternity. What to do if you were raised with a more “closed” view of family. http://getpodcast.reviews/id/1209249450 (Get started here...) https://everydaydisciple.com/listen () From this episode: “Like in the story of the prodigal son found in Luke, the younger brother never stopped BE-ing a son to the father (in reality), but he lived alienated and separated from the father because of his selfish and sinful choices. In this story we see the father rush to restore his son to full privilege and status within the family.”   Each week the Big 3 will give you immediate action steps to get you started. https://123lifeschool.clickfunnels.com/big-3-download () Download today's https://everydaydisciple.com/big3 (BIG 3 right now).

It seems that many Christians are bilingual... We speak in one normal, everyday language most of the time, but when it comes time to talk about religion, spirituality, or God, we break out our special “Christianese” language. In this episode of the Everyday Disciple Podcast, we'll talk about being more intentional (and careful) with the words we use when we talk about our faith. And we'll give you a better way forward! In This Episode You'll Learn: How the language we use as a church creates our culture. The Top 10 Christianese words or sayings deciphered. What our language communicates to those outside the Church. How we can grow in our own “gospel fluency” and begin to speak in clear, meaningful ways about our faith and what life as a Christian is all about. http://getpodcast.reviews/id/1209249450 (Get started here...) https://everydaydisciple.com/listen () From this episode: “The Bible and our Christian faith are all relevant… unless we shroud everything in insider language and weird terms that others can't understand or it puts them off. Jesus spoke in everyday language because he saw his relationship with his Father (and ours) as a normal part of life as a human. We can learn to put aside our cultural oddities and speak like Jesus spoke.”   Each week the Big 3 will give you immediate action steps to get you started. https://123lifeschool.clickfunnels.com/big-3-download ()Download today's https://123lifeschool.clickfunnels.com/big-3-download (BIG 3 right now).

I grew up going to church Sunday after Sunday. Discipleship, if and when it happened, was a series of classes or a 9-week curriculum that we went through. The problem with that was… it didn't really work. In this episode of the Everyday Disciple Podcast, we'll share Part 2 of seven simple yet important steps to living a lifestyle of discipleship where the gospel speaks good news into and shapes every area of life. Discipleship was always meant to happen with others in community. What's keeping you and your people from moving beyond a weekend-to-weekend spirituality into a lifestyle of discipleship and mission with family, friends, and other amazing folks God has brought into your life? Let's get started. In This Episode You'll Learn: How to identify who is "leaning in" to relationship and a possible faith journey with you. How to begin to have simple, daily conversations with the Holy Spirit connected to your discipleship and leading others to faith. Why predictable patterns in your life are key to building relationships on mission. https://everydaydisciple.com/7moves (How to get help to start on all of this right away.) http://getpodcast.reviews/id/1209249450 (Get started here...) https://everydaydisciple.com/listen () From this episode: "Discipleship is a lifestyle—not a series of classes and then you're finished.

Our Christian faith was always meant to be vibrant and lived like a family with others—not a once-a-week experience. Missional communities are a proven (biblical) way to engage people in normal rhythms of family discipleship and mission… believers and not-yet-believers alike. In this episode of the Everyday Disciple Podcast, we'll share Part 1 of seven simple steps that will help you lead your folks to a “faith in practice” where family life becomes mission and begins to move outward to include others. These seven, proven steps may seem simple or even a little obvious, but they really work and are just the beginning... There is no limit to how far this will take you if you apply this to your life. In This Episode You'll Learn: What keeps a lot of churches and small groups stuck in a “me-focused” mode. The difference between a weekly small group and a true “family on mission”. Why understanding and embracing a bigger gospel is at the center of a missional life. The first three of seven proven steps to make family discipleship and mission simple. https://everydaydisciple.com/7moves (How to get help to start on all of this right away.) http://getpodcast.reviews/id/1209249450 (Get started here...) https://everydaydisciple.com/listen () From this episode: "Discipleship is a lifestyle—not a series of classes and then you're finished. Every Christian is truly a missionary right where they live. These are the first important steps that a family, group, or church needs to embrace and grow in, or they'll never really have a healthy missional life or community with others."

Have you ever wondered what your average person–someone who has not grown up in the church–would think Jesus 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 often use on Sundays may be overshadowing the message we really want to share about Jesus, our Father, and his amazing kingdom. In This Episode You'll Learn: What some of our favorite activities at church are really 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 really confusing to people. http://getpodcast.reviews/id/1209249450 (Get started here...) https://everydaydisciple.com/listen () 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."

Let's be honest: the life you lead isn't what you've always dreamt of. And maybe the person you've become isn't who you've always imagined. God longs to redeem the story of your life and set you on the path to reclaiming your dreams… His dreams. Are you ready? In this episode of the Everyday Disciple Podcast, Caesar and Heath speak with author and international church leader, Jo Saxton. Her insights into who God made you to be are refreshing and may encourage you to reexamine a few things in your life. Born to Nigerian parents and raised in London, Jo brings a multi-cultural and international perspective to leadership. She challenges societal stereotypes and helps people discover who they truly are, by seeing themselves the way God sees them. You will LOVE this interview! In This Episode You'll Learn: How we begin to believe lies about ourselves. Why God's view of you changes how you see yourself in powerful ways. How you may have lost your unique “voice” and how to get it back. Practical steps for moving toward your true and exceptional identity. http://getpodcast.reviews/id/1209249450 (Get started here...) https://everydaydisciple.com/listen () From this episode: "Is this the life you were meant to live?

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. https://everydaydisciple.com/subscribe (Get started here…) https://everydaydisciple.com/listen () 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."

If you're like most people I know, you probably don't share your faith all that often. It can feel creepy or just plain awkward, and there's always that fear of rejection. In this episode of the Everyday Disciple Podcast, we talk about how to share your faith without being weird and how your “good news” can actually sound like good news to people. (Really.) If you're not sure how to share your faith with others, or just afraid to get started, this episode will unlock your heart and light a new path for you. In This Episode You'll Learn: Something we all have in common that is a giant “aha!” when it comes to sharing your faith. Why resting in the reality of God's love for you is the starting point. A way to flip the usual conversation about God and religion upside down. How the Good News can actually sound like good news to folks. http://getpodcast.reviews/id/1209249450 (Get started here...) https://everydaydisciple.com/listen () From this episode... "You have never looked into the face of another person who is not an image-bearer of God. No matter how broken, filthy, addicted, violent, or confused someone may seem—God's image is never completely marred or removed from them. (Nor from you, for that matter.) With a little practice and faith, you can learn how to simply, yet powerfully, “notice” that in others."   Each week the Big 3 will give you immediate action steps to get you started. https://everydaydisciple.com/big3 () Download today's https://everydaydisciple.com/big3 (BIG 3 right now).

Our relationship with God directly feeds into how we see our role as a parent. If we have a flawed theology regarding who God is and how he sees us, it creates a chain reaction of flawed decisions and actions in how we parent our children. In this episode of the Everyday Disciple Podcast, we look at a few radically different parenting styles. We'll reveal that while you might be well-intentioned, your parenting style may not be producing the type of outcomes in your children's life and heart that you ultimately desire. In This Episode You'll Learn: If you might be the “judgemental parent” or “legalistic parent” type. Several parenting styles that commonly flow from a flawed theology of God. How to develop a grace-based parenting style for life. The 4 key “freedoms” that all parents need to give their children. https://everydaydisciple.com/subscribe (Get started here...) https://everydaydisciple.com/listen () From this episode: "God loves you the same regardless of how well or poorly you have been parenting so far. There is no condemnation from him towards you. You have his love and grace. He desires that you know him more and live and parent out of your relationship with him."

When you feel like someone has disrespected you, it's easy to take their behavior personally, blame yourself, and think it reflects on your value. This can be incredibly emotionally draining, but the Gospel offers a way out of these hurtful feelings.  In this episode of the Everyday Disciple Podcast, Caesar talks about why we often take things so personally, allowing them to damage our self-esteem. He'll give you three ways to stop these painful feelings and grow healthier relationships. In This Episode You'll Learn: Two ways we can take things personally. Common examples that you will relate to immediately. Why no one can actually offend you–you do that! How the Gospel speaks good news to these situations. https://everydaydisciple.com/subscribe (Get started here…) https://everydaydisciple.com/listen () From this episode: "Here's the thing about taking things personally… or when we say, or think, “I was offended”… No one can really offend you, but you can TAKE offense. We can choose to take what someone has said about us, or done, and CHOOSE to be offended, or take it personally. That's not really about them in that moment, it's about me, my choice… what I am believing to be true."

When we talk about how mature our church is, we often think about age, structures, and programs. But the church is none of those; the Church is people. Are your people mature? In this episode of the Everyday Disciple Podcast, we talk about why your church isn't growing or maturing with our very special guest, Alan Hirsch. Alan is a leading voice in the missional movement of the Christian West and a heck of a great guy! In This Episode You'll Learn: A surprisingly simple “key” to unity and maturity found in Ephesians 4. How to view leadership and ministry through a biblical perspective. Why you are a gift to your church and community, given by Jesus himself! What happens in a church that doesn't recognize and embrace all 5 of Jesus' gifts. http://getpodcast.reviews/id/1209249450 (Get started here...) https://everydaydisciple.com/listen () From this episode: "Here's what's exciting... We often use it (Eph. 4) as a leadership conversation, actually in the book of Ephesians, it's not about leadership. The first instance and radical way of taking this is that the heroes of the text would not be a group of leaders from a seminary, it's a group of local hacks and local churches. And they were small house churches, Missional sites."   Each week the Big 3 will give you immediate action steps to get you started. https://123lifeschool.clickfunnels.com/big-3-download ()Download today's https://123lifeschool.clickfunnels.com/big-3-download (BIG 3 right now).

Missional living is messy. At times you'll wonder why things aren't easier, or why they're not moving faster. Sometimes you will wonder if it really matters and if all of this is actually making a difference in people's lives. In this episode of the Everyday Disciple Podcast, Caesar talks with author and missional practitioner Twyla Franz about when missional living feels hard... and you start to blame yourself, others, or God. This is a great conversation and will encourage you to begin again and keep going! In This Episode You'll Learn: Reasons that missional living can seem really hard. The 3 people we start to blame when things don't go as planned. The way humility can lead us to freedom. How God feels about you and your progress so far. https://everydaydisciple.com/subscribe (Get started here…) https://everydaydisciple.com/listen () From this episode: "Blaming doesn't help anyone. Instead of blaming ourselves, we can say the needed apologies and invite God to help us love better. Instead of blaming others, we can choose to notice, listen, and love with compassion and genuine interest. Instead of blaming God, we can trust that He is growing good things even when it doesn't look how we thought it would."

As we make disciples of Jesus, understanding the major significance of Holy Week, and Jesus' death and resurrection cannot be overstated. Or over-celebrated! In this episode of the Everyday Disciple Podcast, you'll hear a narrative of the events that take place during the week leading up to Jesus' crucifixion. Caesar will give you some of his personal thoughts and point out 4 key aspects of this historic week in Jesus' life. In This Episode You'll Learn: How the Gospels each give us a rich and unique perspective. Hear a special narrative that combines all four Gospel timelines. The significance of 4 "last" events leading up to the Cross. Two powerful ways that Jesus took our place to set us free! https://everydaydisciple.com/subscribe (Get started here…) https://everydaydisciple.com/listen () From this episode: "When the Bible says God made Him sin who knew no sin that we might become the righteousness of God in him, he is saying not only that God puts our sins on him… so he dies the death we should have died, but we're also told God puts his righteousness on us. He died, the death we should have died and lived the life we should've lived. So it's not just that God pardons you and says, now you get out of jail free. He treats you as if you had done everything Jesus has ever done."

Discipleship has moved out of the classroom (yes!) and into your normal life... but knowing who wants to be discipled and who just wants to be friends can be tough to figure out at times. In this episode of the Everyday Disciple Podcast, I am sharing a BONUS training I did for folks in the Everyday Disciple Challenge. I'll show you how to move friends and acquaintances toward discipleship relationships... And you'll learn how to find the people (believers and not-yets) who may become part of your existing or new missional community. God has people who already WANT to be with you! In This Episode You'll Learn: How Jesus helped his disciples identify who they would disciple. How to identify the 'People of Peace' who are in your life today. Where to spend time looking for these types of people and friends. How to move folks from acquaintances to disciples on mission. https://everydaydisciple.com/subscribe (Get started here…) https://everydaydisciple.com/listen () From this episode: "If you love Jesus and you love people, you're going to want to be out there where the action is. If you find yourself distracted by everything, uninterested or feeling jaded about helping people get to know Jesus, you may be suffering from a lack of love. Either a lack of love for people; you're more worried about your pride and appearance, or a lack of love for Jesus; you really don't think he's all that great.” Thanks for Listening!

With so many changes to the schedule and rhythms of the Church these days, it can be hard to determine what people really need. If we're not careful, we'll create new "busy stuff" for everyone to do and miss the true mission of the Church. In this episode of the Everyday Disciple Podcast, I am sharing Day 4 of the Everyday Disciple Challenge. This is the audio from the Live training we did online.

Many Christians are frustrated with trying to fit discipleship and spiritual growth into their increasingly busy schedules. But what if God designed all of life as a perfect fit for discipleship? In this episode of the Everyday Disciple Podcast, I am sharing Day 3 of the Everyday Disciple Challenge. This is the audio from the Live training we did online. I reveal six ordinary rhythms of your life that are perfectly created by God for natural, daily discipleship that fits everyone's schedule. In This Episode You'll Learn: Why moving from "additional" to "intentional" with discipleship is critical. How discipleship is both organized and organic. How God has perfectly designed all of life for natural, organic disciple-making. 6 Rhythms of life that everyone in every context of life shares. https://everydaydisciple.com/subscribe (Get started here…) https://everydaydisciple.com/listen () From this episode: "If everything you do in the church and with discipleship is Organized it feels very artificial, robotic, and removed from everyday life. If all you do is organic discipleship… taking things as they come up, you are probably not developing mature disciples." Thanks for Listening! Thanks so much for joining us again this week.

As the Church today, like it or not, there are a lot of things changing and not everyone is happy about it... or sure what to do next. In this episode of the Everyday Disciple Podcast, we're sharing Day 2 of the Everyday Disciple Challenge. This is the audio from the Live training we did online. Understanding how our true Identity changes motivations and sends us OUT on mission is key to making disciples in everyday life. In This Episode You'll Learn: How God created us in the image of his own triune (three-in-one) nature. What changes when we start to believe what God says is true of us. Why our Gospel Identity puts to death the DO=BE lies we've been taught. Practical implications that happen when we help others believe their true identity. https://everydaydisciple.com/subscribe (Get started here…) https://everydaydisciple.com/listen () From this episode: "Don't believe the DO=BE lie anymore. What you DO does not create your value and who you really are, your true identity... especially in God's eyes! Believing what God says is true of us sets us free from performance-based spirituality and constantly wondering if we're DOing enough." Thanks for Listening!

For a long time, the Church has majored in holding worship services and minored in discipleship and mission. Now that the Church has been scattered like never before as we enter into the "new normal", will we seize the opportunity to restore the balance? In this episode of the Everyday Disciple Podcast, I am sharing Day 1 of the Everyday Disciple Challenge. This is the audio from the Live training we did online. I share a practical, working definition and framework of discipleship that will forever change the way you make disciples of Jesus. In This Episode You'll Learn: The traditional Church approach to discipleship vs. the biblical (Jesus) approach. Why the difference between evangelism and discipleship is so important. How disciples made in community (not in a classroom) are a very different type of Christian. Simple homework and Action Steps you can take TODAY to get started with everyday discipleship in your life. https://everydaydisciple.com/subscribe (Get started here…) https://everydaydisciple.com/listen () From this episode: "In my experience, we have often done this whole process backwards. We expect people to first believe that what we tell them is true... next say a 'Jesus in their heart' prayer to be saved... and THEN we start to disciple them. But that is not what Jesus says here, nor is it what he modeled in his own life." Thanks for Listening! Thanks so much for joining us again this week.

Staying on track toward accomplishing large goals can seem hard, but all big things come from small beginnings. The seed of every habit is a single, tiny decision and we all do exactly what we choose to do every day. In this episode, Caesar shares a simple process for getting started and sustaining movement toward our great task and mission of making disciples of Jesus in community. You'll discover the habit of small daily steps that add up to something big! In This Episode You'll Learn: The "Daffodil Principle". The power of moving 1% each day toward your goals.

If your family life on mission, or your church or small group is not living with the spiritual freedom and relational peace you desire, it is within your God-given ability to change that. Your actions reveal how badly you want something. If you keep saying something is a priority but you never act on it, then you don't really want it."

From the outside looking in, missional communities can look very attractive and appear to be a straight line of growth toward multiplication. It is not always so. In this episode, we finish up our Conversations series. You'll hear a conversation between a couple of guys who are leading missional communities. One of them is newer to the process and a little disappointed in how things are going with his community. In This Episode You'll Learn: Missional communities are messy...but a glorious mess!

We will never accidentally disciple someone to maturity in Christ. Discipleship that brings the Gospel to bear in all of life must happen in the rhythms of normal life together. But we often confuse discipleship with being a strong witness of God's love and character to others. In this episode, we continue in our Conversations series. You'll hear a short conversation between two close friends as they take a few minutes to sit and chat about the differences between their proactive and reactive missional opportunities. In This Episode You'll Learn: The difference between proactive and reactive mission and opportunities. Several examples of a clearly identified proactive mission. What to do with those who fall outside your proactive mission. Why "witnessing for Jesus" is not our mission! https://everydaydisciple.com/subscribe (Get started here…) https://everydaydisciple.com/listen () From this episode: "A proactive missional opportunity is when we say as a community, “we're going to give ourselves, together, to radically reorient our lives and incarnate amongst certain people and make disciples amongst them, specifically, and we're going to agree to do that together."

Through the years we've seen Christians group themselves into 'holy huddles' that leave little room for new friends to join them in meaningful ways. That's not God's plan! In this episode, we continue in the Conversations series. You'll hear two different conversations: The first is a couple of friends who've been in a small group together for quite a while… and the second one is between some couples in a true missional community. They are very different conversations. Pay attention to who and what is the focus of their groups and life together. In This Episode You'll Learn: Why our traditional 'small groups' are not what God intended. 6 important distinctions between small groups and missional communities. God's amazing hope and desire for his family. A clear illustration of how people in a missional community see their lives on mission. https://everydaydisciple.com/subscribe (Get started here…) https://everydaydisciple.com/listen () From this episode: "Our co-mission as the Church is to lovingly invite the people God has purposely brought into our lives to join us in community as together we share the story of the gospel, make disciples, and learn to live as an extended family following Jesus together. This is not a fad or the latest church growth technique or a new name for small groups or cell groups. It is rediscovering the church as 'oikos'—an extended family on mission—where everyone is important and has a vital role to play."

Most people cannot multiply or replicate what they experience on Sundays at a church service. If what we preach, and teach others cannot be reproduced immediately, over and over, then it will never lead to maturity, growth and multiplication. In this episode, we continue in the Conversations series. You'll hear a short but natural conversation between a couple of buddies who meet up at a cafe. They end up talking about a pretty common misperception connected to discipleship that a lot of us were taught in church, and maybe, still hold onto today. In This Episode You'll Learn: Why it's critical we have all 3 "legs of the stool" in our churches. How your discipleship process may be missing a key ingredient. Why one-to-one discipleship does not lead to maturity. A conversation about the importance of living in gospel communities on mission. https://everydaydisciple.com/subscribe (Get started here…) https://everydaydisciple.com/listen () From this episode: "If mature disciples could be made in a one-to-one setting alone, or in classrooms, Jesus would have done it that way. Jesus came in the flesh and hung out in the neighborhood. He loved us enough to not broadcast a whole load of truth from scripture at us and send us out hoping for the best. And here's some good news for the journey: Jesus said that he will never leave us or forsake us on this mission!"

The gospel is not just the beginning of our Christian life and how we obtain a ticket to heaven. Our discipleship has implications for all of life today. And think about this… we are actually always in discipleship mode. In this episode, Caesar continues in the Conversations series. Hear a conversation between a married couple talking about a recent trip to the grocery store. Learn how discipleship should, does, and will affect all of life, not just spiritual things and where we'll spend our afterlife.

But the truth is, God is using everything in our lives (including all of our best-laid plans at engaging people or inviting them into our lives etc.) to move us from unbelief to belief and conform us to Jesus as well."

Everything we do as the Church should support the only mission Jesus gave us–make disciples who make more disciples. How's that coming along in your church? In this episode, Caesar continues in the series Conversations; 10 essential topics you'll need to discuss with those you want to lead toward a lifestyle of discipleship and mission.

People should know that discipleship in everyday life with others is the norm and expected. BTW: Your Sunday pulpit is a great tool (not the only tool) for this, but it is best if this language flows from an authentic life lived in community, making disciples in everyday life."

Jesus did not die to save us just so that we could get a ticket out of hell and a spot in heaven someday. Do your people know why God saved them in Christ?  In this episode, Caesar continues with a series of essential conversations you'll need to have with those you want to lead toward a lifestyle of discipleship and mission. Hear how a conversation might sound between a couple of friends discussing the purpose of the gospel. You will love this! In This Episode You'll Learn: The often "missing" part of our gospel understanding. The sad self-focus in much of the Church today. How discipleship fulfills God's eternal purpose. How a conversation about the purpose of the gospel might sound. https://everydaydisciple.com/subscribe (Get started here…) https://everydaydisciple.com/366 () From this episode: "Many of us have grown up being taught and believing a very small version of the Gospel. In fact, in my experience growing up in the church, the “gospel” was almost completely about sin management, behavioral modification and focused on the afterlife. When there was Good News spoken about HOW God saves us, through the work of Christ on the Cross, there was almost never anything mentioned as to WHY we are saved. Or the PURPOSE of the Gospel."

Our human tendency–and religion has certainly reinforced this–is to focus on all the stuff we need to start DOing (or stop DOing) and forget that our life in Christ is more about our BEing. In this episode, Caesar continues with a series of essential conversations you'll need to have with those you want to lead toward a lifestyle of discipleship and mission. This simple yet crucial topic: Who We Are and how to articulate our gospel identity. In This Episode You'll Learn: How to change the motivations of the heart toward mission. A surprising and powerful truth about you contained in Matthew 28. What your Christian baptism is meant to convey. How a conversation about our true gospel identity might sound. https://everydaydisciple.com/subscribe (Get started here…) https://everydaydisciple.com/subscribe () From this episode: "We have all tried to create a life and identity (fame and glory) for ourselves apart from God. But until Christians believe their true, restored gospel identity, their Christianity will be filled with a whole bunch of “shoulds” and “supposed tos” and religion, instead of a life of freedom and privilege that Jesus came to give us. That's why this is so important."

The church is not a building; it is the family of God on his mission. This may seem simple, or just a matter of semantics, but language creates culture. This is actually a very important distinction to make with people. In this episode, Caesar kicks off a new series of conversations that you'll need to start having with folks if you want to lead them outward on mission, starting with a simple yet crucial topic: We Don't Go To Church! In This Episode You'll Learn: Why helping people move towards discipleship and mission can be confusing. How you may be swimming against the tide of tradition and misunderstanding. The 5 stages that we all go through when learning new things.

Many of us were raised to believe that the Christmas holidays are a time to unplug from outside relationships and our “normal” community rhythms.

Leadership within the Church is so much more than just tasks and jobs getting done. Biblical leadership does get things done and serve the Family, but effectiveness as leaders is so much more about character, their hearts, and a growing ability to speak and model the Gospel in all of life. In this episode, Caesar gives you 5 ongoing essentials that every missional leader needs in their life. Unfortunately, almost no one was trained for the type of leadership that missional communities require. Let's be the ones that change that! In This Episode You'll Learn: Why the commitment to developing leaders attracts great leaders. What to do if YOU are not getting these 5 essentials as a leader. The importance of every leader having an apprentice. What happens if you're missing any of these 5 essentials. https://everydaydisciple.com/subscribe (Get started here…) https://everydaydisciple.com/subscribe () From this episode: "Treating people like “stop gaps” to our problems in an area of ministry only reinforces a DO=BE mentality and ultimately demoralizes people.

Moving a missional community toward multiplication is a lot like preparing your kids to move out of the house and start a life with families of their own. Done well, it takes a great level of intentionality on the leaders' parts and does not happen accidentally. In this episode, Caesar walks you through a recent planning session he did with church leaders as they prepare for the multiplication of their groups and the starting of a new missional community at the same time. In This Episode You'll Learn: The best time to start preparing your community for multiplication. Necessary steps to get your people on board for growth. Why every leader needs an apprentice. How the Gospel implicates us toward multiplication. https://everydaydisciple.com/subscribe (Get started here…) https://everydaydisciple.com/358 () From this episode: “The right time to start the preparation to multiply your missional community is when you're first starting it! A missional community is not a “holy huddle”, renamed small group or Bible study. Your goal is to live increasingly like a family, together on mission. Let your folks know that healthy things always grow and we are trusting God for growth and multiplication, right from the start.”   Each week the Big 3 will give you immediate action steps to get you started. https://everydaydisciple.com/big3 () Download today's https://everydaydisciple.com/big3 (BIG 3 right now).

Christians should be the most celebratory people in the world. In every neighborhood, in every city. Do you agree with that? Well, our heavenly Father is sure into parties!

In This Episode You'll Learn: How God built celebration into the rhythms of everyday life for us. Why a weekly church service was never Jesus' idea of “partying”. How our views on alcohol are shaped by our understanding of the Gospel. Why we can live redeemed lives that are used by God to redeem others. https://everydaydisciple.com/subscribe (Get started here…) https://everydaydisciple.com/subscribe () From this episode: “God set regular celebrations into the annual and daily calendars of his people, his family, so that they would always live with reminders of who he is and what he is like.

What happens when you feel God leading you, beyond a weekly meeting with a handful of other Christians, out to make disciples in the most underserved neighborhood in your city? In this episode, Caesar is joined by author and community builder Terence Schilstra. You'll hear the exciting story of how his traditional church small group slowly morphed into a missional community. Along with several other Christian families, they've become connected to over 30 families in their new neighborhood as they make disciples. In This Episode You'll Learn: How a "small voice" became a much louder calling from God. What personal challenges they faced to follow God deeper. The problems their small group experienced. (Not everyone loved the change!) The amazing adventure that this community now lives! https://everydaydisciple.com/subscribe (Get started here…) https://everydaydisciple.com/356 () From this episode: “Our calling to make disciples among a specific group of people requires us to be present with them. Just like Jesus came to us as a human, and took on the rhythms and customs of the people he was with, so must we give our lives, not just our programs, to that God calls us to. Making disciples is an all-of-life engagement that ultimately radically reorients our time and resources for God's glory.”   Each week the Big 3 will give you immediate action steps to get you started. https://everydaydisciple.com/big3 () Download today's https://everydaydisciple.com/big3 (BIG 3 right now).

It is not forsaking the ministry to NOT work at a church. The one mission Jesus gave his Church (that's us) is discipleship, which happens life on life, in community, throughout the week. Let God provide for that mission in any way he chooses. For most people it will not be by working at a church. That's by God's design.”   Each week the Big 3 will give you immediate action steps to get you started. https://everydaydisciple.com/big3 () Download today's https://everydaydisciple.com/big3 (BIG 3 right now).

There's no reason to miss out on this HUGE chance to bring redemption to your neighborhood.

Throughout scripture, we see that God, magnified in the life of Jesus, grieves. He grieves sin and the effects of sin on humanity and our relationships. Created in God's image, experiencing grief is part of what makes us human. But not all of us understand how to grieve and help others in their grief. In this episode, Caesar shows how the Gospel speaks to our grief and why God has given us a wide range of emotions to draw us closer to him. If we'll let him. In This Episode You'll Learn: The reasons for God's grief and our own. Why grief is not only connected to death. Why our goal is not to make grief smaller or get past it quicker. The 5 Stages of Grief and how the Gospel speaks to each. https://everydaydisciple.com/subscribe (Get started here…) https://everydaydisciple.com/subscribe () From this episode: "Death is perhaps the one area in which we still give ourselves permission to grieve. Death is so hard, so final, so at odds with the way God designed us humans to live, that we can't help but grieve when it occurs. But what about the other effects of sin? What about disease? What about broken relationships? What about corruption? We live in a fallen world filled with brokenness. The effects of sin are all around us."

Discipleship involves caring for the whole life of a person. How we steward our time, jobs, money, relationships, entertainment, health, and body etc. can all be transformed by the Gospel for God's glory. Not just the "spiritual" things.   In this episode, Caesar shows how the Gospel speaks to and transforms ALL of life, and why our disciple-making must and can be holistic. He also uncovers the reasons why our discipleship is not as holistic as it could be. In This Episode You'll Learn: The commitment Jesus had to developing his disciples holistically. 7 areas of life we can apply the Gospel to in our disciple making. What keeps us from being more holistic disciple-makers. Ways to begin having a much broader view in all of this. https://everydaydisciple.com/subscribe (Get started here…) https://everydaydisciple.com/subscribe () From this episode: "Often, we can find that the time required or the level of intentionality needed to disciple people in a holistic way becomes overwhelming. Or our need for everyone's approval prevents us from addressing “all of life” with the gospel, fearing their rejection. But the thing behind the thing in each of these is really a “love” issue. We love ourselves, our time, our reputation, more than we love people and God's glory in their lives."

If we are serious about changing the culture within the church, then we must begin to change the narrative that leaders tell. If the only stories we are telling through social media are who is preaching, what you're preaching, and how amazing everything was on Sunday, then we will continue to get and BE what we continue to highlight. In this episode, Caesar is joined by author and missional strategist, Brad Brisco. They discuss how the types of stories we're commonly telling about our churches are having damaging consequences. It's time to change all that! In This Episode You'll Learn: How silly our stories about our church sound and look online. How many of our stories betray a deep sense of consumerism. Why changing the narratives we tell will reshape the Church itself. Ways to discover and discern what God is already doing, and then tell those stories. https://everydaydisciple.com/subscribe (Get started here…) https://everydaydisciple.com/subscribe () From this episode: "If our relationship with God is largely transactional, then that's how we'll view the Church. God desires a relationship of trust with you that is real and present. He is longing to draw you into His big Story and in so doing, rewrite the story of your life. And not just your afterlife, but today, tomorrow… with your family and friends, and within the Church."

Making mature disciples of Jesus includes passing on healthy spiritual disciplines... life-giving, gospel-reminding practices and rhythms. Yet you won't find a passage in scripture that gives a list of spiritual disciplines listed. In this episode, Caesar will explode your understanding of what spiritual disciplines are, and show you how they can be woven into the rhythms of your normal, everyday life. In This Episode You'll Learn: Why spiritual disciplines and discipleship should be linked together. 4 lies you may believe about traditional spiritual disciplines. What the Bible does teach about disciplining ourselves. Practical ways to fit spiritual disciplines into your life. https://everydaydisciple.com/subscribe (Get started here…) https://everydaydisciple.com/subscribe () From this episode: “Spiritual disciplines are a means, not an end. The disciplines themselves are never the goal. Think discipleship, when you think disciplines. Our spiritual disciplines should be focused on helping us move from unbelief to belief in light of the gospel in more and more areas of life. And that's going to change throughout our life, so your spiritual disciplines probably will too."

Rest is fueled or depleted by the impact of what we believe. Are you letting God's perspective about you, guide you into a life that is abundant and fulfilling? In this episode, Caesar is joined by author, Twyla Franz, as they talk about the lies we too often believe, that are ruining our ability to truly rest. In This Episode You'll Learn: The importance of letting rest flow from your Gospel Identity. God's love for you does not depend on what you do. Why resting is not being lazy! How rest actually fuels, not slows, mission. https://everydaydisciple.com/subscribe (Get started here…) https://everydaydisciple.com/subscribe () From this episode: “When we don't rest, we get missional living backward. We focus on the doing, forgetting that doing flows from being. What we do doesn't procure our identity as missional people. We first know who we are because we choose to stay in close proximity to the only One who can tell us who we truly are. And then with Him right next to us, we learn to copy the way He thinks and loves and lives."

The life of Jesus was and will always be counter-cultural. But often, it seems, we're not ridiculed or rejected because we're living such radically loving and selfless lives, it's because we actually live so little like Jesus. In this episode, Caesar looks at 5 dumb things that Christians need to stop doing that are affecting our witness and our discipleship efforts. And he gives a little of the gospel “thing behind the thing” with each of these issues. In This Episode You'll Learn: Why we need to be careful with what we say online. How even our most loving actions can be misunderstood. The things that Jesus got angry about (are you?). How the way we handle conflict reflects our faith. https://everydaydisciple.com/subscribe (Get started here…) https://everydaydisciple.com/subscribe () From this episode: “The world has a judge and it's not you! Remember, God has both judged and punished all human sin on the cross. It is finished. That's what Jesus said. It is finished. Do you believe that? So let's stop judging everyone, both inside and outside the church. Let's start loving them. And let God be God."

It is important to observe your culture and context in order to be able to understand it. Without this, it is hard–if not impossible–to speak and embody the Gospel in a way that is Good News to people. In this episode, Caesar is joined by author and church planting guru, Peyton Jones. They discuss the importance of understanding key elements of the context you're in when planting a church, leading a community on mission, and making disciples. You can't skip this step! In This Episode You'll Learn: Why the Gospel is always Good News in context. 5 important elements of every city and neighborhood. How every culture has "keys" that unlock hearts for Jesus. Ways to gain a deeper knowledge of your disciple-making context. https://everydaydisciple.com/subscribe (Get started here…) https://everydaydisciple.com/subscribe () From this episode: “The gospel is very big and it's fuller than what we think. And so I want to know what are people's fears? What is the culture of men? What are they afraid of? What are their hopes? What are their dreams? What do they consider successful? What are they worried about? Missionaries know their communities... you know your community because you love your community."

It will be hard to forget the images and video of Afghans mobbing outgoing aircraft in a desperate attempt to leave their country following the Taliban's recent seizure of Kabul.  In this episode, Caesar examines how thousands of Christians remaining in Afghanistan are counting the costs of discipleship and following Jesus–potentially at the risk of their lives. And he asks the question: What is your discipleship costing you today? In This Episode You'll Learn: The complexity of this 20-year saga and the outrage it has caused. The persecution that Afghan Christians are immediately facing. Jesus' surprising commands concerning his will in persecution. 3 things you can do immediately to help the people in Afghanistan. https://everydaydisciple.com/subscribe (Get started here…) https://everydaydisciple.com/subscribe () From this episode: “Afghan Christians pay a very high cost for being disciples of Jesus. They pay a very high cost and I've been asking myself this... What does discipleship cost us here in America and in the Western world today? For a lot of Christians I know here in the United States or other westernized countries, counting the cost of their discipleship amounts to seeing if they can fit a church service into their schedule or get around to watching part of their church's live stream from last week. And there is NO cost."

The way many are engaging in church and their faith has forever changed. Will the Church change too? Now is the time to start new discipleship rhythms! In this episode, Caesar spells out four foundational disciple-making elements that the Church needs to embrace as we head into the "new normal". In This Episode You'll Learn: Why having a clear definition of discipleship is vital. Understanding our Gospel Identity is foundational to all discipleship. Why discipleship must happen in the rhythms of normal life. How to find a balance on mission and avoid burnout. https://everydaydisciple.com/subscribe (Get started here…) https://everydaydisciple.com/subscribe () From this episode: "When we live with gospel-intentionality, living out of our gospel identity into all of these 6 discipleship rhythms, the pressure is off! All of life becomes an opportunity for discipleship. It's not a hassle or series of classes we need to talk people into taking. Discipleship is woven into all of life. That's the way we see Jesus discipling his 12 disciples: In the rhythms of normal everyday life––a life that he created for us!"
