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.

“Just stop it!” doesn’t really work when it comes to changing sinful actions, habits, or thoughts in our lives (or in others). And perhaps what you’ve been taught about sin and repentance is all wrong... Today on the Everyday Disciple Podcast, we talk about where sin really comes from and how we can move away from our particular brand of sin and find freedom. What if all sin is actually a symptom of something else? Not many Christians think of themselves as unbelievers. We normally use the term to describe people who are not yet followers of Jesus. But there are many things about God that we all still do not believe. Often there’s a large gap between what we say we believe in our head, and what we truly believe in our heart. This is where sin comes from. In This Episode You’ll Learn:

• A radical heart-level perspective on sin and repentance.
• How and why God looks at the heart–not at your actions.
• Four eternal truths about God, when not fully believed, lead to every human sin.
• A way to stop sinning by changing what you believe to be true (powerful!)

Get started here... https://everydaydisciple.com/listen From this episode... "Moving from unbelief to belief about what is true about God is the secret! Out of his identity and character flows his actions and will. As we move from unbelief to belief concerning these truths, we will be led out of sinful actions and negative emotions."

Sabbath rest is not about just taking a break. It’s about putting an end to the restlessness of self, and self-provision, that keeps us living distracted, frantic, and fragmented lives of dissatisfaction.  This week on the Everyday Disciple Podcast, we talk about why planning your rest before work is smart and crucial to living the life God intended for you. And we’ll give a few ways to get started. In This Episode You’ll Learn:

• God’s original intent for the Sabbath and how it always pointed to Jesus.
• Why Sabbath rest is a lot more than just “not working”.
• The importance of planning your rest before you plan your work.
• Ways you can get started living out of rest as part of your lifestyle.

Regularly reconnecting your heart to his unconditional love and acceptance allows you to be the person you were created to be.

There was a time when Christians and the Church pioneered much of the future, shaping culture in profound ways, from business to art to justice reform. But along the way, that redemptive, adaptive movement began to institutionalize, leaving us change-averse and frozen in time. In this episode of the Everyday Disciple Podcast, Caesar welcomes innovation strategist and author, Doug Paul, who uses surprising stories and cultural analysis to help explain the five phases of Kingdom innovation. Doug offers valuable guidance for contemporary leaders looking to make a positive impact in their communities and beyond. In This Episode You’ll Learn:

• What true innovation is and who are the best innovators.
• Why most leaders haven't really innovated their churches during the pandemic.
• 5 (easy to grasp) phases of innovation.
• How to get the training and tools you need to begin to lead change.

  https://everydaydisciple.com/listen From this episode: "Innovation is a skill and it’s a muscle you can grow. You can learn how to do innovation. You weren’t born to have it or not have it, and even people who think they're naturally good at it have a lot to learn. Fundamentally, in the world in which we now live, the Christian leader missing the skill of innovation is like a carpenter missing a hammer. It’s not the only skill in the toolbelt, but not having it moving into the future, will be indefensible."

Many people who avoid the Church have not rejected Jesus and the Good News of the Gospel; they've actually, rightfully so, shunned religion. And they've dismissed a transactional way of relating to God and an effort to somehow balance out the cosmic scales of his justice. In this episode of the Everyday Disciple Podcast, we look at the beautiful and liberating difference between the Gospel vs. religion. Christianity and the true Gospel tells us that God himself, in the person of Jesus, has already done for us all the things we never could have done for ourselves. And that is Good News! In This Episode You’ll Learn:

• How the New Testament warns us about religion.
• Why the Gospel is not advice telling you what you should or shouldn’t do in life.
• The difference between the Gospel and Religion in several key areas of our lives.
• How to spot where you might be living under the heavy yoke of religion.

  https://everydaydisciple.com/listen From this episode: "If you still feel that you have to work hard to please God and get things from him, you are laboring under religion, which is not Good News. There is no grand, cosmic scale that God uses to keep track of your good deeds and church attendance. In Christ, you are a beloved son or daughter of the King of Kings and have full authority and privilege within God’s perfect love. Nothing to earn or prove, the pressure is off!"

Christians are taught that we should be giving 10% of everything we earn to the church. Is the practice of tithing still in effect for us today, or is it time to reconsider this practice? This week on the Everyday Disciple Podcast, we’ll look at the truth about tithing. Is it biblical? Are we under-giving or over-giving if we are tithing, and how might we give in light of the gospel? In This Episode You’ll Learn:

• The three types of tithes God mandated Israel to give in the Law.
• How tithes and offerings were used in the Old Testament.
• What Jesus taught about giving and how it reflects our hearts.
• How the Gospel informs our giving and support of the Church today.

https://everydaydisciple.com/listen From this episode: “Empowered by God working within us, we’re now called, like our Lord Jesus, to lay down our lives for others.

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, Caesar and Heath talk about how to celebrate according to the gospel. And we dig deep into historical and biblical proof that our God loves to party, and he loves when we do. 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.

Get started here… https://everydaydisciple.com/listen 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. And so that they would demonstrate this to others and display their trust in the consistency of his goodness, care and generosity.”   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.

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.

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.

Guilt or shame... are they the same thing? The last time you made a mistake or really blew it, what were you feeling in your gut: guilt or shame? Do you know the difference? One is healthy, and the other is deadly. In this episode of the Everyday Disciple Podcast, I'll show you why understanding how these two emotions differ is critical to your emotional health and your relationships. In This Episode You’ll Learn:

• Functional definitions of guilt and shame in action.
• The reason why we often turn normal guilty feelings to shame.
• How the Gospel speaks into (and destroys) shame.
• Practical ways to turn conversations away from deadly shame.

  https://everydaydisciple.com/listen From this episode: "Can you see how important it is to understand the difference and how intrinsically linked to the Gospel guilt and shame are? This is a BIG problem in our society, churches, and homes today. There is so much shame being put on others and/or received, that it is driving us underground and into all sorts of other deep societal issues.

For as long as we've all been alive, there has been sort of a two-tiered system for Christians: Those who are “called” enough and lucky enough to be on the staff at church and actually get paid to do ministry... and then there was pretty much everyone else. Or what is often referred to as the “laity” and the never-ending line of church volunteers. In this episode of The Everyday Disciple Podcast, we’re talking about the future of church leadership and who should be having paid positions at the church. And how, maybe, full-time vocational ministry is shifting in our time. Is bi-vocational ministry your future? In This Episode You'll Learn:

• How the rise of layers of paid church staff is really a late-model invention.
• How there is a shift happening to what is called bi-vocational ministry (Bivo).
• 7 benefits to bi-vocational ministry and church planting that propel ministry.
• Why planning for a future career in paid ministry may not work for you.

Humans were created to live in a trusting relationship with God where he guides our lives with his perfect love and wisdom. Prayer reconnects us to God in the ways he always intended us to live.

In all the many ways we get to: adoration/praise, thanksgiving, praying the scriptures, petition, blessing prayers, intercession, meditation, journaling.

If you’re a pastor, a lot of the things you're spending time on each week may not be producing as much fruit as you think. But all of us get caught on a hamster wheel of things we’ve added to our list of responsibilities, or someone else has, that over time become a huge waste of our energy and resources. This week on the Everyday Disciple Podcast, we talk about why most leaders should STOP doing 80% of what they're currently doing. You are facing what may be the biggest opportunity you'll ever have to reset your schedule as things get restarted. In This Episode You’ll Learn:

• Why the future of your church depends on you doing less.
• How your physical time and capacity may not be as drained as your emotional capacity.
• How to assess your true values and what gets you up in the morning (and why).
• Practical ways to know what you should be putting on your "stop doing list".

Get started here… https://everydaydisciple.com/listen From this episode: "We all have only so much physical time and capacity, but we also have a limited supply of emotional capacity to spend each day and week. If you’re maxed out on both time and emotional energy, you will hate your life, have very little to give your family, and will hide and/or die under a pile of exhaustion and never have time for making disciples in community in your everyday life."   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.

Have you found it hard–really hard–to move people toward embracing change lately? 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."

There’s no reason to miss out on this HUGE chance to bring redemption to your neighborhood. In this episode, Caesar and Heath Hollensbe discuss the amazing opportunity that our current cultural experience of Halloween provides as we live on mission and make disciples.

• Why Christians can and should participate with radical generosity.
• 7 ideas on ways to be more intentional and missional this year.

  https://everydaydisciple.com/listen From this episode: “We had a blast and took things further towards lasting relationships with several people.

The "cancel culture" can hit anyone at any time–even you–if you've ever said or done something that a very vocal group of people disagree with. Unfortunately, the Church is not immune to this type of canceling of our own. In this episode of the Everyday Disciple Podcast, we'll take a look at how God deals with messed-up people and disagreements. Did he cancel the reputation and livelihood of some of history’s most famous sinners? We'll hear some Good News for all of this, and I'll give you 5 Rules for combating the cancel culture in your life today. In This Episode You’ll Learn:

• What the 'cancel culture' is, and how to know if you've been "canceled".
• Ways you may have canceled people in your life and not known it.
• How the Good News of the Gospel speaks to and cancels the 'cancel culture'.
• 5 Rules for combating the cancel culture in your life today.

Get started here… https://everydaydisciple.com/listen From this episode: "Some Christians are quick to point to Matthew 18 and the words found here about dealing with a brother or sister who sins and refuses to listen. We are told to treat them as an outsider, an unbeliever… a pagan. Ok. How are we to treat unbelievers? With grace and compassion and patience, showing them perfect love and kindness that casts out fear and control and leads to repentance... Which is a renewing of the mind, a new belief."

Many pastors are working hard to lead their families and flocks to engage discipleship in all of life, but their biggest roadblocks to exponential growth is their own church elders! Oftentimes, these “elders” do not make disciples and have never led another person to faith in Jesus. How could this be so common?! This week on the Everyday Disciple Podcast, we ask the question: Are your elders discipleship friends or foes? You’ll discover the true history of how church elders emerged, their roles, and why your church elders should be lead disciple-makers in your church. In This Episode You’ll Learn:

• Did elders exist in culture before the emergence of the Church?
• How elders were appointed and their role in the early church.
• Why your elders should be THE model for making disciples in the church!
• What to do if your elders are “blocking” discipleship in community.

  https://everydaydisciple.com/listen From this episode: “I think what really scares me is, not only is this type of elder a rare person on many church boards, but because the church has gotten so far away from the one true mission Jesus gave us–make disciples in all of life–many elders are actually a barrier to those on staff or in leadership… a hindrance to actually making disciples and prioritizing community as the way that Christianity and Kingdom life is modeled and disciples are taught and matured.”   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 was immeasurably the most successful person in human history. In every way. Yet, if we were to measure his lifetime effectiveness using today’s Church benchmarks of success, Jesus would probably find it hard to get hired on at most churches. What are you measuring? This week on the Everyday Disciple Podcast, we look at why some of the traditional ways we’ve been measuring church success are not producing kingdom growth and mature disciples. Here are the new benchmarks of a successful church. Your church or community really can shift toward missional engagement. By changing what you measure, you’ll begin to change your focus to accomplishing the Church’s true mission and its ultimate purpose. In This Episode You’ll Learn:

• Why what your church is measuring may actually be toxic.
• How our current standards of success are very different than Jesus’.
• What happens when we begin to measure and fund different goals.
• 10 new benchmarks of a successful, missional church.

https://everydaydisciple.com/listen From this episode: “Sure Jesus could draw a crowd, usually around healings and massive meal times, yet he primarily spent the bulk of his leadership energy and time with only a dozen people. In our modern church, Jesus would not get great marks here and would probably not get that promotion up the ladder… Senior leadership usually relegates discipleship to lower team members or ‘directors.’ Sorry, Jesus.”   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.

Building strong relationships of trust is a key factor in discipleship. But many of us are not good at building friendships, or we seem too busy in our lives to make the investment of time that it takes. In this episode of the Everyday Disciple Podcast, join me as I mine the wisdom of author Twyla Franz and uncover practical ways to start growing deeper friendships today. In This Episode You’ll Learn:

• How friendships and trust are the pathways for disciple-making.
• Why openness and vulnerability don't have to be scary.
• How "divine interruptions" are opportunities to connect and share life.
• 10 secrets to growing deeper friendships that transform relationships.

https://everydaydisciple.com/listen From this episode: "The #1 thing we all have in common, and it makes for great common ground, is our need for Jesus and the transformation his life brings to ours. Let your redemption show! Don’t hide your screw-ups. When people see and hear that you are not perfect, it allows them to live openly around you and be honest too. Honesty like this builds trust in a relationship." 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 way we gather as the Church has changed. Our once rock-solid pattern of meeting all together on Sundays has been fractured, and statistics show that as much as 30% of people are not returning to our weekend gatherings. In this episode of the Everyday Disciple Podcast, Caesar talks about the need for the Church to start creating new, outward-focused "predictable patterns" that everyone can start in their own families right at home. In This Episode You’ll Learn:

• How the change in our gathering patterns may be a blessing in disguise.
• Why new predictable patterns can and must start in our homes.
• How you could double the size of your church this week. Seriously!
• 5 steps that you can initiate in your family and church-wide right now.

Get started here… https://everydaydisciple.com/listen From this episode: "Your family is the first place to begin when starting new spiritual rhythms. Begin at the beginning in your own lives. Trying to organize others into a series of activities, events, or rhythms that you and those closest to you are not already living will produce unnecessary stress and set you up for failure. This is especially important for pastors and leaders. Live as a family worth joining and imitating, and start making space in your schedule (and hearts) for others to join you."

But it doesn't have to be that way!

How you feel, pretty much in every moment, is connected to how you believe things are going relative to your sense of self. It is out of our identity, and perception of self, that our motives and actions flow. The Gospel answers our fallen self-obsession with a great work of grace in Christ. In this episode of the Everyday Disciple Podcast, we'll examine what drives our pride and continual self-focus, and how the Gospel leads us to freedom and relational peace. In This Episode You’ll Learn:

• How your understanding of God's stance against pride may be wrong.
• Why we spend so much time focused on self and what others think.
• Why thinking less of yourself is not the answer to pride.
• How the Gospel leads us to focus more on Jesus and less on ourselves.

  https://everydaydisciple.com/listen From this episode: "The remedy for our preoccupation with self is a greater and growing focus and preoccupation with Jesus and his perfection. Not our DO to BE list of accomplishments, not focusing on our failures, not working hard to see others as 'more' and ourselves as less. And not just trying harder to be a good person or a good Christian. No… it’s rightly seeing God for who he is, in connection to ourselves."

Our lives are wrapped up in stories; they are the language of our world. Who we believe ourselves to be is shaped by the dominant story in our lives, and what we believe about God and what he is like will ultimately determine what we believe about ourselves and how life works. In this episode of the Everyday Disciple Podcast, I share why learning, embracing, and teaching the Story of God found throughout the Bible is a key component in discipleship. You'll learn how we teach the Story in community and the transformation that it brings. In This Episode You’ll Learn:

• How stories powerfully shape our lives and worldview.
• Why the Bible stories you may have been taught as a kid were wrong.
• Ways we've used narrative and dialogical story-telling in our discipleship.
• Where to get free Story of God resources and training.

Get started here… https://everydaydisciple.com/listen From this episode: "It is one thing to know a lot about God and the Bible; it is another to understand and experience his loving pursuit as seen throughout all of Scripture. Sharing the good news about Jesus and his kingdom through the lens of facts and topics can become cold and clinical. But there is nothing more moving than having the ability to easily and naturally share the Story of God. It is the most transforming thing we can give ourselves to, and it is the one thing that I have seen consistently move people from unbelief to belief and grow their trust in God."

Blessed to be a blessing sounds at once awesome… and a little daunting. Where do we start blessing people when there are SO MANY needs around us? That should make it easier, but honestly, it can kind of shut you down, not knowing WHO to bless or HOW. This week on the Everyday Disciple Podcast, we talk about how to live fully enjoying the blessings in your life, but also how to live “blessed to be a blessing” to others as a family on mission. In This Episode You’ll Learn:

• How many things you’ve truly been blessed with in this life.
• If you’re living as a Conduit or a Barrel.
• 3 powerful, yet simple ways to start blessing others–regularly.
• Ways to include your entire family in blessing as part of their discipleship.

https://everydaydisciple.com/listen From this episode: “Imagine a family, or a group of families in a missional community all blessing people in their neighborhood regularly? We suggest 3 small blessings per week each. Do you think people would start to notice something is up with you people?!

But what about those churches where people are already convinced and just need direction? This week on the Everyday Disciple Podcast, we lay out the very first steps to becoming a missional church. These are steps that you can ABSOLUTELY take today, and your folks will love it! In This Episode You’ll Learn:

• The difference between leading complacent people vs. the highly motivated.
• Why exposing people’s fears and preferences creates opportunities for change.
• The FIRST thing Caesar would do to start moving your church toward mission.
• 3 More ideas and next steps to keep you moving in the right direction.

https://everydaydisciple.com/listen From this episode: “There is a big difference between trying to lead people who are complacent and not excited about the gospel or discipleship, and those that are embracing this idea that our faith can be woven into all of life...and so can discipleship and the gospel.”   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.

If the Church keeps doing what it has been for decades in connection to disciple-making, we will continue to see a decline in Christianity in our time. There is no better time than today to start changing our minds, changing the church, and changing the world! This week on the Everyday Disciple Podcast, we’ll give you 10 key false beliefs and misconceptions about discipleship that we all need to get to work changing in the church today. In This Episode You’ll Learn:

• How the Church has gotten so far away from the discipleship Jesus practiced.
• Causes of the present “discipleship crisis” we’re experiencing in the church today.
• How preaching a “small” and often false gospel has led to where we are at.
• 10 Key areas of false belief that we need to start changing...now!

https://everydaydisciple.com/listen From this episode: “When we began to believe and preach a small gospel that was man-centered and focused on our afterlife in heaven, while we attended church and tried not to sin here on Earth, we lost the one true mission of the church: make disciples of Jesus.”   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.

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 😳
• 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.

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!

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://caesarkalinowski.lpages.co/leadbox/1459e40f3f72a2%3A134ffec37346dc/5713430174498816/https://123lifeschool.clickfunnels.com/big-3-download Download today’s 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.

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://caesarkalinowski.lpages.co/leadbox/1459e40f3f72a2%3A134ffec37346dc/5713430174498816/https://123lifeschool.clickfunnels.com/big-3-download Download today’s 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.

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://caesarkalinowski.lpages.co/leadbox/1459e40f3f72a2%3A134ffec37346dc/5713430174498816/https://123lifeschool.clickfunnels.com/big-3-downloadDownload today’s BIG 3 right now.

There is no such thing as a typical week in the rhythms of a missional community. Healthy communities follow pretty surprisingly simple patterns. And the schedules of the families are not crazy packed and insanely busy. In this episode of the Everyday Disciple Podcast, I'll share a running narrative from the daily journals of a married father in a missional community. You'll get to see all of the "organized" and "organic" interactions that come up in their calendar as a family on mission for one week. Oh, it's messy... but it's a glorious mess! In This Episode You’ll Learn:

• How a married couple with three kids lives on mission together.
• The gospel-intentionality that is baked into their normal life.
• How living this way in community adds very little to their normal schedules.
• A great picture of discipleship in action in everyday life.

Get started here… https://everydaydisciple.com/listen From this episode: "Did you notice that there are really only two or three interactions with the Missional Community during this week that fall outside their normal daily and weekly rhythms? I also hope you see that one of the takeaways from this family’s schedule is that everything is moving outward with regard to its activities, responsibilities, and relationships. Growth is happening as the family includes others, more and more frequently, into the mix. Treating everyone like 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.

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."

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.
• How to get help to start on all of this right away.

Get started here... https://everydaydisciple.com/listen From this episode: "Discipleship is a lifestyle—not a series of classes and then you’re finished. These 7 “moves” and rhythms will work for you too and you’ll have a plan to move forward instead of creating a patchwork quilt type of discipleship and group leader training process."

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.
• How to get help to start on all of this right away.

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.

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.

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… 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."

Summer is a great time to get out and about and mix it up with your neighbors more often. Especially now as things are loosening up socially and people are looking to rebuild relationships.

You already have His perfect love and acceptance regardless of which neighbors respond to your attempts to build new relationships. You can feel free (and sent by your heavenly Father) to invite everyone to a place at the table and leave the results to him."   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.

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.

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 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.

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.

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!

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://caesarkalinowski.lpages.co/leadbox/1459e40f3f72a2%3A134ffec37346dc/5713430174498816/https://123lifeschool.clickfunnels.com/big-3-downloadDownload today’s BIG 3 right now.

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. We feel safe there. But it’s killing us; killing families, friendships, civility, and discourse. This week on the Everyday Disciple Podcast, we talk with author Brian Jennings and discover there is a better way—and we can walk in it! It may look like you’re dodging cultural landmines, but you just might be learning how to dance! 😀 In This Episode You’ll Learn:

• The “thing behind the thing” with all the conflict we see in ideology today.
• How Jesus faced personal, political, and relational conflict–and dealt with it.
• How to practice “The 4 Ways of Wisdom” in our conversations and conflicts.
• Practical steps you can take now to be Good News within dark conversations.

Get involved in the issues you care about and engage those involved and affected by the issue before you try and win every argument connected to this topic.

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.

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!

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."

Outside the Western world, the Church is experiencing its greatest growth in history by gathering and multiplying small groups of people, numbering 10 or less. Is this the way forward for us too? In this episode of the Everyday Disciple Podcast, Caesar talks with author and modern-day apostle, Hugh Halter, about the need to re-envision why and how our church small groups gather together on mission. Now is the time to change! In This Episode You’ll Learn:

• Why your church small groups are more important than ever.
• The need to reframe the Gospel for everyone in small groups.
• Why understanding the community that Jesus formed is key.
• Tools you can use to move your small group toward missional living.

Get started here… https://everydaydisciple.com/listen From this episode: "God’s love for you, your church, and your community does not stop there! He has brought you together as his family so that more and more of his lost children will find freedom in Christ and live life to the full, today, with you. Plus, your own spiritual formation and maturity will never happen in a “holy huddle” that is primarily inward-focused. If you want to get to know the heart of God and his son Jesus better, dive deeper into living the life he lived with others."
