In each episode, we'll show you how the good news of the Gospel and Christian faith can naturally and confidently be woven into any and every area of life. We'll help you make discipleship a lifestyle and gain greater spiritual freedom and relational peace. Each episode is pretty fast-paced, and even though it's serious stuff, it can be funny too. We always wrap up with clear action steps for you to get started with the "Big 3" takeaways.

  1. Faith is Not a Product

    Faith is Not a Product

    We've all felt it — that restless sense that something's missing, that maybe a better church would fix it. So we start shopping around. But here's the thing: when we bring our consumer mindset with us, no new building or better band is going to solve what's actually going on inside us. In this episode of the Everyday Disciple Podcast, we're going to dig into how consumerism creeps into our faith without us even noticing — and what Jesus actually says about it. This isn't about guilt. It's about finding something way better than anything you can shop for. In This Episode You’ll Learn:  A shockingly familiar definition of consumerism that will stop you cold 3 ways consumerism quietly shapes how you think about church What Jesus actually taught about consumerism and material desire Practical ways to stop feeding the consumer mindset in your own faith Get started here... From this episode: “When we approach our Christian faith, experience and responsibilities as consumers rather than seeing it as an all-encompassing way of life, a lifestyle... and a fully interpretive set of beliefs and values, then our church and Christianity becomes just one more brand or product we consume along with Amazon, Apple, Starbucks, Facebook… and all too deeply, it’s how we express our identity too.”   Each week the Big 3 will give you immediate action steps to get you started.

  2. Are You Believing a Holistic Gospel?

    FEB 23

    Are You Believing a Holistic Gospel?

    Most of us think of faith as something that lives in the spiritual lane. We go to church, read our Bibles, pray — and that's the Christian life. But what about your mental health? Your physical health? What if God actually cares about all of it, and the gospel was always meant to speak to your whole life — mind, body, and soul?  In this episode of the Everyday Disciple Podcast, we're going to explore what it looks like to believe and live out a truly holistic gospel. You'll discover why caring for the whole person isn't optional — it's at the heart of God's design. And how stepping into those conversations with others can bring real hope to a world that's sick and dying for it. In This Episode You’ll Learn: How God's story in Scripture has always been holistic in nature Jesus' surprisingly simple explanation of the Law and Commandments Why a holistic gospel naturally sends us out on mission Practical steps to care for your physical, spiritual, and mental health today Get started here... From this episode: "You are a holistic being — created with a body, a spirit, and a soul. God created you this way and cares for you completely, not just your spiritual life. As you value and steward your life in all these areas, you become more mature, more like Christ, and you better display what our good God and his Kingdom is all about."   Each week the Big 3 will give you immediate action steps to get you started.

  3. How To Truly Be Generous

    FEB 16

    How To Truly Be Generous

    We all know we could be more generous — but for most of us, that just means dropping something in the offering plate or tipping a little extra. Meanwhile, we grip tightly to everything else God's given us. What if real generosity isn't really about money at all, but about how loosely we hold everything we've been blessed with? In this episode of the Everyday Disciple Podcast, we're going to talk with author Marty Duren about living with open hands in every area of life. You'll discover why the "stuff god," called mammon, has more grip on us than we realize. And how the gospel frees us to become the most outrageously generous people on the planet. In This Episode You’ll Learn:  Why generosity connected only to money falls way short of the truth The "stuff god" that secretly competes for your worship How the gospel is actually a picture of radical generosity Practical ways to start living less selfishly today Get started here... From this episode: "Most people do have forms of giving and generosity they engage in throughout their lifetime. Let's let the Gospel shape our intentionality and give us new eyes to connect all of this to God's glory. And… it is a BLAST to bless people when they least expect it!"   Each week the Big 3 will give you immediate action steps to get you started. Download today’s BIG 3 right now.

    Proven Date Nights Every Couple Needs

    Ever notice how the person you fell in love with starts feeling more like a roommate or business partner? Between work deadlines, kid schedules, and just keeping up with life, the spark that once came so easily can quietly fade into the background. What used to build intimacy and connection gets buried under busyness, tiredness, and the endless logistics of just making it through the week. In this episode of the Everyday Disciple Podcast, we explore why date nights aren't just a nice idea—they're essential to keeping your marriage vibrant and alive. We'll talk about escaping the trap of problem-solving mode, the power of modeling a thriving marriage for your kids, and practical ways to make date nights something you both need and look forward to. In This Episode You’ll Learn: How consistent date nights keep your marriage from drifting into roommate mode How to make date nights meaningful without spending a fortune The gospel picture your marriage paints when you prioritize time together What to avoid and what to pursue to keep dates connecting, not coordinating Get started here... From this episode: "When you have a consistent, intentional date night, you are modeling the importance of your marriage and relationship to your kids and others. Our married children are now carrying on the tradition of having date nights, and they are just getting started in marriage."   Each week the Big 3 will give you immediate action steps to get you started.

  5. Who You Were Created To Be

    FEB 2

    Who You Were Created To Be

    The world tells us to perform our way to value—work harder, serve more, achieve better. We chase approval from family, friends, bosses, even our churches. But this exhausting cycle of performance misses something crucial: who God says you already are. What if your identity isn't something you earn, but something you've already been given? In this episode of the Everyday Disciple Podcast, we're going to challenge the lie that you have to earn your worth. The truth is, if you're a Christian, you've been completely transformed and given a new identity—one that comes with shocking authority and privilege as a co-heir with Jesus himself. When you start living from your true identity instead of trying to create one through performance, everything changes. In This Episode You’ll Learn: A surprising truth about you contained in Matthew 28 What it really means to be created in God's image The authority and privilege you now possess as a Christian Why the world's way of earning value will always leave you empty Get started here... From this episode: "As you live out of your true, transformed identity and birthright, you will begin to experience the life you were created to live. And you will truly show others what God is like and what life in his kingdom is all about!"   Each week the Big 3 will give you immediate action steps to get you started.

  6. How to Actually Apologize (Not Just Say Sorry)

    How to Actually Apologize (Not Just Say Sorry)

    We've all seen hollow public apologies. But most of us won't face public scandal—we'll face everyday moments when we've hurt someone and need to make it right. Sometimes it's sin, sometimes it's unintentional. How do you know the difference? And how do you apologize well? In this episode of the Everyday Disciple Podcast, we're going to show you what makes an apology actually work—and what secretly sabotages it. We'll explore the biblical foundation for making things right, walk through the three core elements every genuine apology needs, and help you spot the four mistakes that torpedo apologies. In This Episode You’ll Learn: The real reason you're putting off that apology What the gospel teaches us about confession and restoration The three essential components of a genuine apology Four deadly phrases that undermine your sincerity Get started here... From this episode: "Putting off making an apology, when you know that you are the offending party, is selfish. And it is probably the result of self-love and/or fear of man issues. Ask God to give you the humility to go and make an honest and full apology, trusting him for the results. This episode will encourage you and help you move toward true reconciliation."   Each week the Big 3 will give you immediate action steps to get you started. Download today’s BIG 3 right now.

  7. Seeing God Fully Masculine, Feminine, and Beyond

    JAN 19

    Seeing God Fully Masculine, Feminine, and Beyond

    We've learned from scripture to use male pronouns when we talk about God. He's our Father. But what if there's a richness to God's nature that we've been missing because we've only been looking at half the picture? In this episode of the Everyday Disciple Podcast, we're exploring the feminine aspects of God's divine nature—something that's been right there in the Bible all along. We'll look at how both masculinity and femininity reveal different facets of God's character, how the Holy Spirit is presented as feminine throughout Scripture, and even how Jesus used mothering language to describe his love for people. In This Episode You’ll Learn: How both masculinity and femininity give us a fuller sense of what God is truly like Why God is simultaneously above gender while embracing all of it in his nature How the Holy Spirit is presented as feminine in nature throughout Scripture How recognizing God's feminine nature changes the way you pray, worship, and love others Get started here... From this episode: "Ultimate respect and admiration for each other comes from loving who God is. What we believe about God is the most important thing we will ever believe about ourselves and everyone else. Respect for yourself and others is an act of worship (worth-ship) to God"   Each week the Big 3 will give you immediate action steps to get you started. Download today’s BIG 3 right now.

    Breaking Free From Lies That Feed Addiction

    Addiction touches millions of families every day, and the heartache and brokenness that comes with it can feel overwhelming. Real, lasting freedom is possible. But it doesn't come from just stopping the behavior. Healing happens when we uncover and address the pain, lies, and emotions underneath it all. In this episode of the Everyday Disciple Podcast, I sit down with author Todd Wermers to talk about moving from addiction to freedom. We get into the emotions God created in us that can actually lead us toward destructive patterns, how the Gospel truly rewrites our stories, and why you absolutely cannot do this alone. Community isn't optional—it's essential. In This Episode You’ll Learn: The 8 core emotions we all experience and why they matter in addiction recovery How good feelings God gave us can become doorways to destructive patterns Why the Gospel doesn't just change our behavior—it rewrites our entire story Why isolation keeps us trapped and community sets us free Get started here... From this episode: "There is hope and freedom beyond addiction. Discovering the truth behind the lies that have led to and fed an addiction is the first step to recovery and lasting life change."   Thanks for Listening!
