Everyday Disciple Podcast

Most of us hit a point where life got full and learning got quiet. We stopped reading, stopped asking questions, stopped sitting across from people who could actually sharpen us. We tell ourselves we're too busy — but the truth is, we just haven't made the decision to keep growing. In this episode of the Everyday Disciple Podcast, we're going to talk about what it actually looks like to build a lifelong learning practice — and why this one posture changes everything: your marriage, your parenting, your faith, your work, and the kind of person people see you becoming. In This Episode You’ll Learn:Why the posture of a learner changes everything else in your life
How to find and meet with people who are ahead of you in the areas that matter
A simple system for building a year-round reading list that actually gets read
The one decision that puts all of this in motion — and how to make it stick

Get started here... From this episode: "Becoming or maintaining the posture of a lifelong learner definitely takes intentionality. But now you have a process for getting started and keeping this going year-to-year. The benefits to your marriage, ministry, family, and overall character will be powerful — and noticed by those around you."Each week the Big 3 will give you immediate action steps to get you started.Download today’s BIG 3 right now.

Most of us in the church have heard the message, even if no one said it out loud: get married, have a family, and you'll be complete. We've built so many of our rhythms and language around marriage as the destination that singleness has quietly become a waiting room. In this episode of the Everyday Disciple Podcast, we're going to look at how the church's narratives about marriage and singleness have limited us — and what it looks like to find real wholeness and identity in Christ, whether you have a ring on your finger or not. In This Episode You’ll Learn: What the Bible actually says about marriage — and what it doesn't
Why singleness in the church gets treated like a problem to fix
How our language about marriage unintentionally excludes and diminishes
What it means to be complete in Christ regardless of relationship status

Get started here... From this episode: "Many of the church's narratives have limited our understanding of marriage and obscured our view of the life-giving and kingdom-serving roles of single people. Jesus was single his entire life and is the most whole, complete picture of both human-ness and who God is."Each week the Big 3 will give you immediate action steps to get you started.Download today’s BIG 3 right now.

Most of us say yes way too often — and we know it. Whether it's fear of what others will think, or just not wanting to miss out, we keep adding things to our plate until we're running on empty. We've mastered the art of the reluctant yes. And it's quietly costing us more than we realize. In this episode of the Everyday Disciple Podcast, we're going to dig into why saying no is so hard, what the Bible actually says about commitments, and 10 practical ways to say no with grace. Plus — how to back out of something you never should have said yes to in the first place. This one is freeing. In This Episode You’ll Learn:Why fear of man and FOMO keep you locked in yes
What Scripture actually says about bailing on commitments
10 ways to say no gracefully — plus one for telemarketers
How to back out of a commitment without burning a relationship

Get started here... From this episode: "The more we think about what we're giving up when we say 'yes' to someone, the easier it is to say no. A graceful 'no' grows out of a clear but unstated calculation of the trade-off."Each week the Big 3 will give you immediate action steps to get you started.Download today’s BIG 3 right now.

A lot of us have been in church for years. We've heard the sermons, read the books, studied the theology. But when a real conversation opens up — with a neighbor, a coworker, a friend in crisis — we freeze. The gospel we know in our heads just won't come out naturally. That tension is real. And it matters. In this episode of the Everyday Disciple Podcast, we're going to explore why so many believers struggle to talk about faith naturally — and what actually changes when you get the gospel right. You'll discover how your upbringing shapes the way you see God, and why the gospel is genuinely good news for every part of life today. In This Episode You’ll Learn: How your upbringing quietly shapes the way you see and share the gospel
Why so many believers feel awkward or scared talking about their faith
What it looks like to experience the gospel in everyday life — not just Sunday
How gospel fluency transforms your relationships, community, and conversations

Get started here... From this episode: "Don't settle for a small gospel that's only about getting to heaven someday. The gospel is transformational good news for every part of your life right now — your relationships, your conversations, everything. When we get this right, everything else changes."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.

Most church Small Groups follow the same pattern — ya meet, do the study, go home. And after a while, something starts to feel hollow. Not fake, not wrong, just... thin. Like it should be more than this. If that's where you are, this episode is going to name something you've been feeling. In this episode of the Everyday Disciple Podcast, we're going to redefine what a missional community is actually supposed to be and do together — and it's simpler than you think. Not more programming. Just a different posture: living like a family with organized and organic rhythms that make room for real discipleship and real life together. In This Episode You’ll Learn:A clear biblical definition for what a missional community actually is
What the real mission of a missional community has always been
The organized and organic rhythms that turn a group into a family
6 natural rhythms any MC can adopt right now that fit every context

Get started here... From this episode: "Structuring your missional community life and time like a family with family rhythms takes into account the needs of everyone. A few organized family rhythms will perpetuate and facilitate numerous organic opportunities to BE a family and do a lot of normal life stuff together. Don't over-complicate things!"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.
