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. Daring to Live Like a Family on Mission

    Daring to Live Like a Family on Mission

    Most of us want our families to matter. We want our kids to grow up with faith that actually sticks, and we want our home to be the kind of place people want to be. But somewhere between good intentions and real life, it never quite comes together the way we hoped. In this episode of the Everyday Disciple Podcast, we're going to show you how your family's everyday rhythms — meals, walks, projects, conversations — can become the most natural discipleship environment you've ever seen. Not a program. Not a project. Just a family living in a way that others actually want to join. In This Episode You’ll Learn:Why gospel identity is the only foundation for a family on missionHow to know if your family is living a life others would genuinely want to joinSimple rhythms you can start this week that open your home to real discipleshipWhy the goal isn't to do MORE — it's to invite people into what you're already doing Get started here... From this episode: "The goal is that your family is living in such a way that discipleship and community naturally grow out of it. We're not looking to live two lives — an isolated 'us' life and then throw a lasso around a bunch of folks once a week. We want to live in such a way that as we invite folks into our rhythms, they are in fact increasingly opportunities for discipleship."Each week the Big 3 will give you immediate action steps to get you started.Download today’s BIG 3 right now.

  2. Courage, Compassion, and Difficult People

    Courage, Compassion, and Difficult People

    Some people just drain you. You've tried avoiding them, reasoning with them, even killing them with kindness—nothing sticks. If you're being honest, you're either walking on eggshells or keeping your distance. There's a better way, and it starts with understanding what's actually going on. In this episode of the Everyday Disciple Podcast, we're going to break down the four types of difficult people, the "thing behind the thing" driving each one, and how the gospel gives you something better than tolerance or avoidance—a path toward real connection, even with the hardest people in your life. In This Episode You’ll Learn: The four types of difficult people and what's actually driving their behaviorWhy difficult people present one of the clearest gospel opportunities in your lifeHow to understand "the thing behind the thing" so you stop reacting and start respondingWhy you might be on someone else's "difficult person" list — and what to do about it Get started here... From this episode: "When we take the time necessary to gently address a person in a way that they can hear and receive, a bond of trust is built that can change how they act and how we respond to them. When you listen, ask good questions, and seek to understand 'the thing behind the thing', it is always a gospel issue that leads to any of us being difficult or argumentative."Each week the Big 3 will give you immediate action steps to get you started.Download today’s BIG 3 right now.

  3. Sowing & Reaping the "Harvest" Jesus Talked About

    Sowing & Reaping the "Harvest" Jesus Talked About

    Unless seeds are planted, watered, and given enough time for growth, there is little expectation of a harvest. That's how farming works. And it turns out — it works similarly with people and their faith. But what if most of us have been measuring the harvest by the wrong metric this whole time? In this episode of the Everyday Disciple Podcast, Caesar challenges the common idea that spiritual harvest means getting a "decision for Christ." What if the harvest Jesus talked about was actually a harvest of disciples? This episode reframes sowing and reaping — and shows why God always provides for what he calls and commands when you trust him with your words, your time, and your life. In This Episode You’ll Learn:The truth about the amount of "fruit" that is ready to be harvestedWhy the harvest Jesus was after is different from what you were taughtWhat really constitutes "sowing seeds" in someone's lifeWhy sowing and reaping is an ongoing cycle — not a once-and-done event Get started here... From this episode: "Are you looking to 'close the deal' or give your life away? Seeking to get a 'decision for Christ' or invite people into your family — God's family — and lay your life down for them?"Each week the Big 3 will give you immediate action steps to get you started.Download today’s BIG 3 right now.

  4. The Fearless Truth About Spiritual Conversations

    The Fearless Truth About Spiritual Conversations

    Most of us have been taught that sharing our faith means finding the right moment to slip in a little "Jesus talk." We've got techniques, bridge illustrations, transition phrases. But honestly? They feel like a sales pitch. And if it feels like a sales pitch to you, imagine how it feels to the person on the other end. In this episode of the Everyday Disciple Podcast, Caesar breaks down why the old techniques rarely work — and offers a completely different framework for transitioning to spiritual conversations that are actually Good News. If you've ever felt awkward, fearful, or fake when trying to bring up Jesus, this one is going to change how you see the whole conversation. In This Episode You’ll Learn:Why we fear spiritual conversations — and the lies behind the most common excusesHow past "techniques" rarely benefit anyone — and why they feel like a sales pitchWhy the gospel is NOT just a set of facts about sin, hell, and the afterlifePractical ways to transition to spiritual conversations that are genuinely Good News Get started here... From this episode: "If our understanding of the gospel and spiritual things is focused primarily on some yet-to-be-seen afterlife, it will probably always seem weird or irrelevant to talk about it."Each week the Big 3 will give you immediate action steps to get you started.Download today’s BIG 3 right now.

  5. Reclaim the Passion in Your Marriage

    APR 20

    Reclaim the Passion in Your Marriage

    After years of marriage, the passion in a relationship can quietly fade into the routine of everyday life. Not because love is gone — but because pursuit has stopped. Romance doesn't disappear all at once. It just gets squeezed out by schedules, fatigue, and the assumption that she knows you love her. In this episode of the Everyday Disciple Podcast, Caesar teaches 7 practical ways to romance your wife all year long — not just on holidays. You'll discover why God is the model of relentless pursuit in marriage, the difference between love and romance, and how intentional pursuit is the best safeguard your marriage has against future crisis. In This Episode You’ll Learn: The difference between love and romance — and why both require intentionality Why "falling in love" fades and what to do about it How God models relentless pursuit in marriage — and how to follow his lead 7 specific ways to romance your wife all year, starting today Get started here... From this episode: "Putting intentionality and effort into romancing your wife over the course of your lives together and maintaining a deep romantic connection is the best way to safeguard your marriage against future crisis."   Each week the Big 3 will give you immediate action steps to get you started.

  6. Surrender the Busyness. Reclaim Your Mission.

    APR 13

    Surrender the Busyness. Reclaim Your Mission.

    The church has been run in much the same way for decades — programs, services, buildings, conferences. And yet most of us who lead in these systems know something is off. The busyness is real, the exhaustion is real, and quietly underneath all of it is the nagging question: is any of this actually working? In this episode of the Everyday Disciple Podcast, Caesar sits down with movement leader Nic Harding to talk about why church leaders need to reimagine what they're leading — and what it looks like when you finally get clear on the real "win." If you're caught on the church treadmill, wondering what you're actually running toward, this conversation will change how you see everything. In This Episode You’ll Learn: How to clarify the "win" that Jesus actually gave us for the Church What to do when you find yourself exhausted and overscheduled in ministry How discovering your true purpose sets you free from religious busyness How to find People of Peace and invest in not-yet believers right where you are Get started here... From this episode: "If you're a leader in the Church today, are you focusing your energies and living your life for the approval of others… the board, the elders, the congregation… or living in the truth that you are a child of the King, who is your loving Father?"   Each week the Big 3 will give you immediate action steps to get you started.

  7. The Startling Truth About Disciple-Making

    APR 6

    The Startling Truth About Disciple-Making

    Discipleship remains one of the most talked-about topics in the church — and one of the least practiced. We hold conferences, preach sermon series, launch programs. But most followers of Jesus still have no idea how to make a disciple. Something is deeply wrong with that picture. In this episode of the Everyday Disciple Podcast, Caesar gets honest about the startling gap between what we call discipleship and what Jesus actually meant. What's blocking it, why it's so rare, and what it really looks like to live as a disciple who makes disciples. Not just a better church member. An actual disciple. In This Episode You’ll Learn: Why we're probably not even talking about the same thing when we say "discipleship" A practical definition of discipleship that finally makes sense Why discipleship matters just as much for not-yet believers as for Christians 7 roadblocks keeping you, your pastor, and your church from true discipleship Get started here... From this episode: "The way many leaders approach maturity is to assume that knowledge produces maturity. But knowledge in and of itself is not a hallmark of Christian maturity. As Paul says, knowledge puffs up. Love builds up."   Each week the Big 3 will give you immediate action steps to get you started. Download today’s BIG 3 right now.

  8. Is Your Comfort Zone Costing Your Soul?

    MAR 30

    Is Your Comfort Zone Costing Your Soul?

    Most of us have arranged our lives to be as comfortable as possible. And it makes sense — we're tired, we're busy, and comfort feels like wisdom. But somewhere under all that comfort is a nagging feeling that Jesus might have had something very different in mind for us. In this episode of the Everyday Disciple Podcast, we're going to get honest about what a life of comfortable faith actually costs — and what it's costing the people around you. This isn't guilt. It's an invitation. Jesus called us to a mission, and that mission was never guaranteed to be easy. In This Episode You’ll Learn:  7 signs your faith has slipped into comfortable and complacent The areas of life where comfort quietly crowds out mission What the Gospel actually says about comfort and risk How to take your next honest step toward a missional life Get started here... From this episode: "If we want a comfortable faith, we best not give ourselves to Jesus Christ. Seeking a life of comfort is missing the point. Seeking Jesus and his glory in all of life — that's the goal." Each week the Big 3 will give you immediate action steps to get you started. Download today’s BIG 3 right now.
