Everyday Disciple Podcast

From living on mission without kids… to dealing with negativity in community… to how we approach the Lord’s Supper (and yes—even whether I was once a rockstar), we’re answering as many of your questions as we can in this special year-end episode. In this episode of the Everyday Disciple Podcast, Heath and Caesar open the floor and respond to real questions sent in by listeners. Some are serious, some are fun, and all of them reflect the everyday realities we’re navigating as we learn to live like Jesus together. In This Episode You’ll Learn: How to live on mission as a couple without kids What to do with negative people in your community Whether Caesar really was a rockstar back in the day Why the Lord’s Supper might be more celebration than ritual Get started here... From this episode: "Time is a finite resource, and once it’s spent—or allowed to spend itself—you never get it back. Whether we realize it or not, every one of us is already making choices about how our time is used. Our days quietly reflect what we truly value, not just what we say matters. No one accidentally ends up with the schedule they have. We choose, again and again, what gets our attention, our energy, and our lives." Thanks for Listening!

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

For hundreds of years, the church has anticipated the coming of Jesus during the season of Advent.

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

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… 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.

The peace Jesus came to bring was not coercive or backed up by military might, and it was not the type of peace that most of the world was looking for. The announcement of the Messiah’s birth heralded something different and transformational. In this episode of the Everyday Disciple Podcast, Caesar continues the Advent Series as he looks at the truth that God is glorious so we don't have to fear others! Believing this leads us to peace in relationships, peace with ourselves, and peace with God. In This Episode You’ll Learn: The second of four eternal truths about God that transforms us. (The 4 G's) The ways that the "fear of man" may be ruining your life and relationships. How Jesus came to bring peace to all of mankind and the world. How to find the unbelief and actions that are keeping you from having peace. Get started here... From this episode: “Think about what your fears and the need for other’s approval have produced in your heart and life… comparisons to others, avoiding any or all confrontations or deeper conversations, susceptibility to peer pressure, or the need to always be liked by everyone. Do you enjoy living this way? The answer to the fear of man in our lives is a bigger understanding of the fear of God and his true glory. For those who trust Jesus, the fear of God no longer involves terror; he’s our Father, and we come before him with confidence through Christ.” Each week the Big 3 will give you immediate action steps to get you started.
