Everyday Disciple Podcast

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 go.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…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.Download today’s BIG 3 right now.

Remember, you were created in the image of our perfect Father God who loves you!

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.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.

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.Get started here…From this episode:“There’s this other bigger story about what God's doing with his bride and the church, which is nested inside an even bigger story. 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.Download today’s BIG 3 right now. Read and think over them again later.

Men's and women's ministries have been separated in the church for years. But the church is a family. And when we disciple together, as a family in community, we experience deeper discipleship in every area of life.In this episode of the Everyday Disciple Podcast, Caesar is joined by his wife Tina, and their friend and fellow disciple-maker, Barb Terry. He gets their perspective on women and discipleship. Are there differences?

Living in that reality, in the truth of our gospel identity, changes what we have to do into what we get to do. Yeah. We're totally free to be whatever God created us to be."Each week the Big 3 will give you immediate action steps to get you started.Download today’s BIG 3 right now.

As the Church, it’s pretty common to assume the things we’ve seen as barriers to discipleship and life in community are unique to our own context, neighborhood or circumstances. That’s just not true!In this episode of the Everyday Disciple Podcast, Caesar talks about 10 things that may be keeping you and the folks in your church from making disciples and really living on mission with God in everyday life.In This Episode You’ll Learn:The most common roadblocks to discipleship and mission.What is really behind each of these apparent obstacles.Questions to ask yourself to get free and get moving.The surprising “roadblock” that encompasses most (or all) of the rest!Get started here…From this episode:"For a whole lot of the church around the world, no one's making disciples, and they don't know how, and they've never really been discipled in all of life and they've never seen it. So they don’t know how to get started with true discipleship communities. Here's the question to ask yourself: ‘Am I willing to be part of forging new rhythms in my life, in our church and family so that others can see and experience this kingdom of God up close?’ Will YOU be the one to change this? Get started and learn and move and start to create new rhythms."Each week the Big 3 will give you immediate action steps to get you started.Download today’s BIG 3 right now.

The Church was originally a decentralized movement. Before everything became housed in church buildings with hierarchical leadership, the priesthood of all believers was equipped and sent to make disciples.In this episode of the Everyday Disciple Podcast, Caesar talks with Rob Wegner and Lance Ford about why the distributed structures of 'starfish' organizations uniquely fit the church today. Just like a starfish can reproduce itself fully from only one of its legs, churches with this type of regenerative ability are much more nimble in reacting to external change and outside forces.In This Episode You’ll Learn:The difference between "spider" and "starfish" organizations.How embracing the starfish's reproductive ability changes the way we lead the church.Why equipping is job #1 for pastors and leaders in the church today.How every Believer carries the full DNA of a disciple-making movement.Get started here…From this episode:"Leaders need to do an honest heart evaluation, asking themselves, 'how much equipping of the saints am I really doing for ministry out there–not just church service jobs and activities?' Remember, equipping is different from teaching. Equipping is a relational transaction that is personal and requires time and gives people the freedom to grow as they learn, and learn as they go."Each week the Big 3 will give you immediate action steps to get you started.Download today’s BIG 3 right now.

He doesn’t just give us a ticket to a happy afterlife. He wants us to be a part of his work today. We were created and saved to live with Jesus, and we are empowered by his own Spirit to be part of his restoration of all things.

Christians can often get into a mindset where we think everything that is wrong or untrue needs to be addressed NOW! And so with the banner of “speaking the truth in love” flying high over our heads, we dive in with our unsolicited advice.In this episode of the Everyday Disciple Podcast, Caesar explains why most people really don't want to hear our advice. We'll look at what motivates a lot of our advice-giving, and learn some best practices for when we do need to offer help and insights to others.In This Episode You’ll Learn:The 4 types of advice that we give to people.Why we feel the need to quickly offer our advice to others.How the gospel speaks into our motivations when giving advice.Best practices so people will want to hear your advice.Get started here…From this episode:“Do you give advice because you want to see a person’s pain stop and their situation improve? (Sounds good…) Or so that God will be more glorified in their life? Which, in turn, produces life in the Kingdom of God which is the best life we could ever live. Who and what is our focus makes all the difference in how we give advice and how it is perceived and received."Each week the Big 3 will give you immediate action steps to get you started.Download today’s BIG 3 right now.
