Many in the world today are living with a very real sense of scarcity and lack. And with so much division and political strife, a feeling of scarcity in our relationships may have also set in.    In this episode of the Everyday Disciple Podcast, Caesar shares his own experience of being raised with a scarcity mentality and where the true root of this mindset comes from. He'll also help you find freedom and show you how to experience an abundance mindset. In This Episode You’ll Learn:

• What causes a scarcity mentality and how to escape it.
• How living with a scarcity mindset affects all of life–not just money.
• How the gospel speaks good news and abundance to scarcity.
• Steps to begin to lose a scarcity mentality and find freedom.

Get started here… https://everydaydisciple.com/listen From this episode: “An abundance mentality flows out of a deep inner sense of personal worth and security. Remember, you were created in the image of our perfect Father God who loves you! Out of his endless supply and wealth, we can live in the reality that there is plenty and more than enough to share with others. This is true of money and time, of prestige, of recognition, of resources, of decision making.” Each week the Big 3 will give you immediate action steps to get you started. https://everydaydisciple.com/big3 Download today’s BIG 3 right now.

For many in Western civilization, our idea of "family" seems like a failed experiment. We’ve been sold the line that the family exists primarily as a springboard for the individual. But what if our families functioned more like a team–a team on a mission? In this episode of the Everyday Disciple Podcast, Caesar talks with Jeremy Pryor, who has created a multi-generational household that lives together on mission making disciples of Jesus. Their story is powerful! In This Episode You’ll Learn:

• Why so many families fail to live as a team and do life and mission together.
• The simple, yet powerful rhythms that Jeremy's family live in.
• The role that "intentionality" plays in establishing new family rhythms.
• Ideas to help you start to create a family team right where you're at.

Which is how God desires to recapture all of humanity. It goes from Genesis 1 all the way to the end of Revelation. And so you can fixate on smaller stories, and sometimes, we live our lives kind of from the center out, but man, you need to be careful that you [and your family] don't become part of a smaller story. You have to see the bigger picture.” Each week the Big 3 will give you immediate action steps to get you started. https://everydaydisciple.com/big3 Download today’s BIG 3 right now.

Many of us were raised to believe that the Christmas holidays are a time to unplug from outside relationships and our “normal” community rhythms. Even many Christians tend to isolate away from their small groups, missional communities, and neighbors instead of pressing deeper into relationships at this time of year. In this episode of the Everyday Disciple Podcast, we'll give you 10 fun and easy missional ideas that you can do with family and friends to help you stay on mission this holiday season. In This Episode You’ll Learn:

• Why the Christmas holidays are a perfect time to reach out on mission.
• How recent social distancing regulations have made certain, favorite, holiday traditions a perfect opportunity for mission in your neighborhood.
• How to pick one other family to be part of your family this holiday season.
• 10 ideas you can mix and match that are fun for your family to do together.

Get started here… https://everydaydisciple.com/listen From this episode: “Try doing a Christmas Eve 'candlelight' singalong... or you could pump this up by hosting it as a mini candlelight Christmas Eve service, where the Christmas story is read from the Bible or another book. You can pray for each other, for God to bless and prosper everyone in the new year ahead, and express gratitude for God sending Jesus to us as the light of the world!” Each week the Big 3 will give you immediate action steps to get you started. https://everydaydisciple.com/big3 Download today’s BIG 3 right now.

Gratitude is more than delighting in a gift; it is a feeling of happiness directed toward a person for giving you something good. Growing in our ability to consistently be grateful and express gratitude is not only life-changing but is part of becoming a mature disciple of Jesus. This episode of the Everyday Disciple Podcast examines the connection between gratitude, grace, and the Gospel. You’ll discover how expressing gratitude for the giver–not just the good gift–connects our hearts deeper to that person and is a picture of the gospel in and of itself. Think of the godliest people you know, the people you most respect, other mature Believers you want to emulate and imitate. Almost certainly, the people you are thinking of are grateful people. Cynics, complainers, and critics may be popular on social media and late-night television, but they do not make great heroes of the faith. In This Episode You’ll Learn:

• How expressing gratitude actually changes us physically.
• What a lack of gratitude and a tendency to focus on the negative leads to.
• How even spending a few minutes with a truly grateful person changes lives.
• Immediate, hand-held steps you can take to grow in expressing gratitude.

Get started here… https://everydaydisciple.com/listen From this episode: “God, in Christ, has given us all the most amazing and precious gift we will ever receive. Jesus gave us his own life, that we may be forgiven and set free. Let’s not just be grateful for that gift, but remember, we get to express our gratitude for, and to, the GIVER of such grace! How grateful, on a daily basis, are you for Jesus, the giver of such good gifts?”   Each week the Big 3 will give you immediate action steps to get you started. https://everydaydisciple.com/big3 Download today’s BIG 3 right now.

When making disciples in community, a common strategy question arises: should we have a Missional Community that is only neighborhood-based, or should we start a Missional Community that's relationally network-based? In this episode, Caesar lays out the advantages and disadvantages of both neighborhood and networked-based approaches to community building. And the importance of creating organized and organic rhythms whichever way you end up going. In This Episode You’ll Learn:

• Why proximity is gold when living on mission together.
• The importance of understanding your proactive and reactive mission.
• The benefits and challenges that both approaches present.
• Loads of real-world examples on how all of this works.

Get started here… https://everydaydisciple.com/listen From this episode: “If your Missional Community is made up of people that are coming from different parts of town, and for whatever reason have formed a community on mission, you can still succeed. You're going to have to be a LOT more intentional about how you plan your times and activities together and know that it could start to feel event-based if you're not careful."  Each week the Big 3 will give you immediate action steps to get you started. https://everydaydisciple.com/big3 Download today’s BIG 3 right now.

Do apostles still walk among us today? Are there people God sends to proclaim the Good News to the lost and broken, sparking new movements and bringing his Kingdom to life here on Earth? In this episode of the Everyday Disciple Podcast, Caesar talks with his close friend, author, and modern apostle, Hugh Halter. Hugh’s story of starting fresh in a new city will inspire you to see that God is still actively building His Kingdom—and maybe He's inviting you to be part of it, too! In This Episode You’ll Learn:

• Why Hugh chose to uproot his family from comfort and move to a broken, struggling community.
• The key difference between “planting a church” and “planting the gospel.”
• How a network of small, micro-communities focused on blessing others is transforming a Midwestern city.
• Powerful lessons on trusting God when his call feels overwhelming.

Get started here... https://everydaydisciple.com/listen From this episode: “I tell people there is nothing that you can do that would make it easier to ‘gospel a city’ than to actually do what the city needs done. Instead of planning a church service, start a business. Meet the needs of a city and its people. It’s just been an amazing story of personal movement and spiritual movement with people.” ~ Hugh Halter   Each week the Big 3 will give you immediate action steps to get you started. https://everydaydisciple.com/big3 Download today’s BIG 3 right now.

We spend much of our lives with co-workers, often more than with family or friends, making the question of workplace discipleship both natural and nuanced. Opportunities are there, but they require a unique approach. This week on the Everyday Disciple Podcast, we discuss the realities of disciple-making at work. While work relationships can be limited, discipleship remains possible. Gospel fluency becomes essential as we look to infuse these settings with purpose and love, seeing our workplaces with fresh eyes and a heart for others. In This Episode You’ll Learn:

• Discipleship is evangelism (and vice versa) and it is often a slow process.
• How to think more holistically about discipleship in the workplace.
• Ways to identify who at work is open to Spiritual things.
• Practical examples of discipleship and gospel fluency at work.

Get started here... https://everydaydisciple.com/listen From this episode: “Be a defender of the defenseless in your workplace, show grace and forgiveness regardless of the situation or if you’ve been hurt. In all these ways you’ll not only be helping people see and experience the gospel in action at work, but you’re also helping them move from unbelief to belief in connection to our Dad in heaven and who Jesus is.”   Each week the Big 3 will give you immediate action steps to get you started. https://everydaydisciple.com/big3 Download today’s BIG 3 right now.

The idea that 'Gospel, Community and Mission' is crucial to making mature disciples of Jesus may sound a little bit obvious to you at first. But it is surprising how few of us, and our churches, are careful to balance the focus and engagement of these powerful discipleship foundations.  This week on the Everyday Disciple Podcast, we talk about why all three of these components must be consistently engaged in and balanced if we want disciples of Jesus to grow to full maturity. In This Episode You’ll Learn:

• Why we are seeing a lack of maturity in the Church today among Christians.
• How all 3... Gospel, Community, and Mission play a critical role in disciple-making.
• What it looks like when you only engage 2 of these 3 foundations with others.
• Practical resources for growing your people in Gospel, Community, and Mission.

Get started here… https://everydaydisciple.com/listen From this episode: "It is when we are out on God’s mission together, interacting with and serving others that are not exactly like us… or don’t always agree with us or appreciate our lives and perspective... that’s when our own unbelief, selfishness, personal preferences etc. all surface… and can then have the gospel applied to those areas of our lives. That doesn’t happen sitting in an air-conditioned classroom, with lots of hot coffee and snacks in the back, us taking notes and nodding in agreement."

It happens over and over again: a political argument with a friend, a fight about racial issues on the internet, a disagreement with a coworker… At the first sign of conflict, we flee to a bunker with people who think like us and—internally or externally—attack everyone else.

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 discuss how Jesus explained normal life and growth in the Kingdom of God. In This Episode You’ll Learn:

• The true definition of a Missional Community.
• Caesar’s story of a pretty rocky start to all of this 😳
• How Jesus explained life (all of it) and growth, and what to expect.
• The Pattern and Promise we see throughout the Parables in the NT.

Get started here... https://everydaydisciple.com/listen From this episode: “There is a reason Jesus lived and taught in the ways he did. He wasn’t random or cleverly trying to adapt to the local customs of his day. Yes, his methods were rooted in real life, and they were immersed into his culture, but there was something far more eternal and subversive going on.” Each week the Big 3 will give you immediate action steps to get you started.https://123lifeschool.clickfunnels.com/optin_box/mcowb8wwscvlqriy Download today’s BIG 3 right now.

There was a time when neighbors knew each other’s names... when children and old folks in the neighborhood had more than their families looking out for them. What happened? This week on the Everyday Disciple Podcast, we talk with author, Lance Ford, as we ask the question: can you really love your neighbor as much as you love yourself? We live in an age when it feels like we have very little time for new and trusting relationships–and it’s hard to trust people! So we tend to isolate or stick closer to home and keep to ourselves. But people are dying for real relationship, and isolation only breeds further distrust. Maybe it’s time to change the narrative. In This Episode You’ll Learn:

• What the Bible really says about loving your neighbor.
• What we have lost as a society through hiding away and loving ourselves.
• Why incarnational presence is the “Jesus Model” for loving your neighbor.
• Practical steps to restoring our neighborhoods to become communities filled with love and redemption.

We can choose to push back against the consumerism and individualism that is so toxic. Let’s not let our affluence buy the very walls that keep us apart from real gospel-centered relationships.” Each week the Big 3 will give you immediate action steps to get you started. https://everydaydisciple.com/big3 Download today’s BIG 3 right now.

For most of us, the idea of our kids switching from blue to red, or vice versa, is pretty scary and maybe unacceptable.

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!

Get started here… https://everydaydisciple.com/listen 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 BIG 3 right now.

Church doctrines of grace and salvation can sometimes hinder us from fostering the expectation that we should be and make disciples. Do our current evangelism and discipleship models fall short of producing genuine followers of Jesus? This week on the Everyday Disciple Podcast, we explore the importance of reclaiming a strong understanding of the gospel and the vital link between conversion and discipleship. Joining us is Bill Hull, a "discipleship evangelist" (a term I adore!) and author of several bestselling discipleship classics. In This Episode You’ll Learn:

• A historical definition of “conversion” that you’ll find clarifying.
• Why conversion and discipleship are two sides of the same coin.
• The problems the Church experiences having split (or ignored) these two functions.
• Why having a bigger view of the gospel is the solution to this problem.

Get started here... https://everydaydisciple.com/listen From this episode: “You’ll never make a disciple from a non-discipleship gospel. A gospel that does not include disciples making disciples, and all true Christians are disciples of Jesus, is actually a very truncated gospel and not really the gospel Jesus proclaimed and preached.”   Each week the Big 3 will give you immediate action steps to get you started. https://everydaydisciple.com/big3 Download today’s BIG 3 right now.

More and more people are questioning the validity and relevance of the Bible in today's culture. Is it all true... is it literal or figurative… does it apply to our lives today? In this episode of the Everyday Disciple Podcast, we’ll walk you through the most common misunderstandings about the Bible and the ways people read this unique document that are leading to confusion and distrust. And we’ll give you the tools to properly read the Bible in light of the divine author’s original intent. In This Episode You’ll Learn:

• The Bible was originally an oral document.
• Why the Bible should not be viewed simply as a history book.
• How scripture was originally read together in community and why.
• Why understanding the genre of each book in the Bible changes everything.

Get started here... https://everydaydisciple.com/listen Quote from this episode: “The Bible is best read and understood as a series of stories, narratives, that God has given to us humans to best understand who he is and what he is like. He proves this over and over as the Story that unfolds really does repeat itself from a zillion angles. All of this shows us what is true about us, our identity and how God sees us and how we get to live in this world and rightly interact with God and care for his creation, which includes other humans.”   Each week the Big 3 will give you immediate action steps to get you started. https://everydaydisciple.com/big3 Download today’s BIG 3 right now.

Could you be wasting your time developing the wrong people? In this episode, Caesar and Heath talk about how to effectively identify your best leaders.

In my experience, those with high capacity are continuous learners and develop new competencies all the time. I put competency at the end of the list because, to be honest, it is something of a “second-tier” concern. It matters, but not as much as the others."

Leadership within the Church is much more than just getting tasks and jobs done. Biblical leadership does get things done and serve the Family, but effectiveness as a leader is more about character, the condition of the heart, 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 church 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 this type of care.

Get started here… https://everydaydisciple.com/listen 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. Seeing and treating your leaders as divine Image-bearers and like members of your family puts you both in a humble position to receive the ongoing grace that our heavenly Father offers–regardless of our performance or less-than-perfect leadership record."

https://everydaydisciple.com/listen 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!

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.

• How close and yet so far off we can accidentally be in these things.

But they may not be helping to show people what our heavenly Dad, his Son, and this life as Christians is really all about.

Anger is undeniably a significant issue in our lives and culture, and it's likely to remain so. However, anger can also be a positive thing. Yes, you read that right. Anger is an attribute of God and those who seek to love deeply. In this episode of the Everyday Disciple Podcast, Caesar breaks down the source and purpose of anger. You'll also see how and why anger can destroy us. And we'll give you a way to heal the anger in your life. In This Episode You’ll Learn:

• Anger may be destroying your health and relationships.
• Where (and why) the Bible commands us to be angry.
• A definition for uncorrupted, righteous anger.
• How to begin to heal your anger and move toward love.

https://everydaydisciple.com/listen From this episode: “We tend to think that hate is the opposite of love, but actually the opposite of love is indifference; which is what we have if God never gets angry. True love gets angry at the unbelief, pain, and messed up consequences we see in the world and in the lives of those we love.” Each week the Big 3 will give you immediate action steps to get you started. https://everydaydisciple.com/big3 Download today’s BIG 3 right now.

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."

Depending on your upbringing or past church experience, you may be “all about” the Spirit... or you may see the Holy Spirit as the weird uncle of the Trinity; he shows up once in a while to utter some strange words, and you sorta politely wait for him to leave. 🥹 In this episode of the Everyday Disciple Podcast, we talk about this least-known and most misunderstood member of the Trinity. We’ll show you why you need to get to know the Holy Spirit. In This Episode You’ll Learn:

• The role the Spirit played throughout scripture.
• How Jesus was led and empowered throughout his entire ministry.
• Why most pastors try to assume the role that the Spirit should have in their churches.
• Natural ways to begin to have a daily relationship with the Holy Spirit.

Mission for God and intimacy with God can often become disconnected and seem like competing priorities and passions. But what if you could cultivate a vibrant and authentic spirituality that doesn’t draw you away from your neighbors, but propels you into the lives of others and the needs of your city? In this episode of the Everyday Disciple Podcast, Caesar is joined by church planters Jeremy and Monica Chambers as they break down this divide in a way that helps you discover fresh joy in living as a Jesus-follower, and become more fruitful in your everyday mission. In This Episode You’ll Learn:

• Why there seems to be a divide between deep spirituality and mission.
• Why focusing just on contemplation or just on the mission is incomplete.
• How to cultivate a vibrant spirituality that doesn’t draw you away from others.

  https://everydaydisciple.com/listen From this episode: "Don't get caught up thinking, Oh, if I do this practice, then God's going to be more pleased with me, or whatever. No! These practices are about you making yourself available to God to connect with him and to be able to receive His goodness and his love."

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.

https://everydaydisciple.com/listen 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 that mirrors what Jesus did with his disciples, and produces the same hope, maturity and multiplication, is an “all of life” experience. It looks very different than what most Christians have seen or participated in. This week on the Everyday Disciple Podcast, we’ll give you Part 2 of our talk on the 10 necessary aspects you’ll want to focus on in creating the right discipleship environment. In This Episode You’ll Learn:

• The difference between discipleship classes and holistic life-on-life experiences.
• Why words and knowledge alone are not enough; Modeling the life of Jesus is key.
• 6 of the 10 necessary aspects of a healthy discipleship environment (like Jesus had).
• Why ‘one-size-fits-all’ discipleship NEVER works!

Get started here... https://everydaydisciple.com/listen From this episode: “Teach those you disciple to expect multiplication to happen. As disciples teach others to obey all of Jesus’ commands, that includes his command to make more disciples.

Discipleship is an all-of-life apprenticeship led by Jesus himself. To make disciples of Jesus, who in turn, know how to make more disciples, we must pay close attention to the experience and environment that Jesus provided his disciples. This week on the Everyday Disciple Podcast, we’ll give you Part 1 of a two-part talk on the 10 necessary aspects you’ll want to focus on in creating an effective discipleship environment. In This Episode You’ll Learn:

• Why your “discipleship” may not be producing the desired results in your people.
• Where, when, and how often Jesus interacted with his disciples.
• 4 of the 10 necessary aspects of a healthy discipleship environment (like Jesus had).
• Why your discipleship must be Spirit-led and Gospel-saturated!

Get started here... https://everydaydisciple.com/listen From this episode: “Jesus discipleship wasn't merely a Sunday School class to attend… like once you got through the 9 weeks of discipleship training, boom–you’re a disciple! That's how it was for me growing up in the church. I'm thankful for that time a certain man put into my life, it was something like nine 1-hour sessions. And for a very long time that was the extent of my discipleship. That's not what Jesus did.” Each week the Big 3 will give you immediate action steps to get you started. https://everydaydisciple.com/big3 Download today’s BIG 3 right now.

You'll never lead anyone further, faster, or deeper into the gospel and discipleship than you’re leading your own family. Never. But people are waiting for a place at your table and a taste of life in the Kingdom of God! Let's go deeper... In this episode of the Everyday Disciple Podcast, Caesar and his wife, Tina, continue the story of how their family rhythms grew to include many others as they make disciples in community. They'll share some of the things that God had to change in their hearts and home for this Kingdom lifestyle to become a reality. In This Episode You’ll Learn:

• The ways God may want to speak into your busyness, fear, shyness, lack of love, etc.
• How individualism in our Western culture has severely damaged our families.
• Why the way you lead your family on mission can be the model for your church.

Get started here… https://everydaydisciple.com/listen From this episode: “I want to assure you, it is not your perfect home or your award-winning cooking skills that people are dying for. Letting go of these expectations requires me to believe, in the moment, that this is not really all about me; it is about Jesus being seen and experienced through us. Our neighbors don’t need an amazing meal; they need us to be Jesus with flesh on. True hospitality is about having an attitude and posture that says to others,  'You are always invited to join us; whatever we're eating, or doing… you are welcome.'"

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… https://everydaydisciple.com/listen 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. https://everydaydisciple.com/big3 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… https://everydaydisciple.com/listen 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. https://everydaydisciple.com/big3 Download today’s BIG 3 right now.

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.

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... https://everydaydisciple.com/listen 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."

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... https://everydaydisciple.com/listen 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. https://everydaydisciple.com/big3 Download today’s BIG 3 right now.
