    From Small Group to Spiritual Family

    Living as a family on mission in community with others is a big shift—and a big commitment. It gets even trickier when you’re trying to start or transition a small group that originally formed for reasons other than discipleship and mission. This week on the Everyday Disciple Podcast, we’re asking the honest question: Why is missional living so hard? We'll unpack some of the common challenges and give you practical tips, hope, and encouragement for when things feel tough. Sure, it might feel hard at first… (because it is!). But once you've experienced the beauty of gospel-centered community—living like a true spiritual family—there’s no going back to simply checking the church box on Sundays. In This Episode You’ll Learn: –The key differences between a traditional small group and a true missional community –How time, schedules, personal preferences, and priorities shape our ability to live this out –Why it’s crucial for married couples to be aligned in mission –What a sustainable, healthy pace looks like for long-term community life

  2. How Introverts and Extroverts Shape a Family on Mission

    How Introverts and Extroverts Shape a Family on Mission

    The difference between introverts and extroverts is one of the most misunderstood aspects of personality. So many people get it wrong, leading to myths and assumptions that just don’t hold up. In this episode, we’re setting the record straight. We’ll break down the biggest misconceptions and uncover how both introverts and extroverts play a vital role in living together as a family on mission. The truth is, we all have moments when we crave solitude and quiet—Jesus certainly did. And at times, even the most introverted among us step into social settings and engage with others—just like Jesus often did. Understanding this balance is key to thriving together. In This Episode You'll Learn: –Why extroverts don’t always have to be the life of the party –How spouses that are on opposite ends of this can better understand each other –Ways culture has taught us to hide our self-love behind these distinctions –Why we need each other to be more fully like Jesus and make disciples

    Tuning Into God Over the Mental Static

    Are we hearing impaired when it comes to the voice of God? Could it be that what we believe and have labeled as relational, emotional, and spiritual problems are actually 'hearing' problems? In this episode, Caesar shows us how to turn down the negative voices in our heads, dial in the authentic divine Voice, and listen intently. The voices you believe will determine the life you experience! In This Episode You’ll Learn: –Ways to sort out all of the chatter coming your way each day. –Why the voices you listen to shape your own voice in the world. –How to apply the "Jesus filter" to everything you're hearing. –Why listening prayer is so different from the ways we usually pray.

  4. 7 Evangelism Mistakes You’re Probably Making

    7 Evangelism Mistakes You’re Probably Making

    Evangelism has almost become a dirty word in our culture. Sadly, it’s not all that different in many churches. We either go all-in with enthusiasm only to find that most people aren’t interested, or we’ve quietly given up on it altogether. But what if we’re missing the heart of evangelism? In this episode of the Everyday Disciple Podcast, we’ll define what true biblical evangelism is (and what it’s not) while uncovering the 7 worst evangelism mistakes Christians make today. Even when we’re confident in our faith and what the Bible teaches, how we communicate and carry ourselves speaks volumes about who God is. God isn’t pushy—he’s patient. He’s gentle, loving, and always available. Our approach to evangelism should reflect that same heart. In This Episode You’ll Learn: –What the Bible actually teaches about evangelism. –Are all Christians called to be evangelists? –Why so many believers are looking for ways to “opt out” of evangelizing. –The 7 biggest evangelism mistakes today—and a better way forward.

  5. Men’s & Women’s Ministry or Family Discipleship?

    MAR 24

    Men’s & Women’s Ministry or Family Discipleship?

    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? We find out that the answer is both "yes" and "no". In This Episode You’ll Learn: Why the church has traditionally separated men and women. The importance of women finding their "sisterhood" within community. Can women be effectively discipled by men? Why understanding our gospel identity leads to freedom for both women and men. Get started here… From this episode: "We are all completely uniquely created, designed by God. We're here for a purpose. We're not just here to get by or survive or get stuff done, we get to live our lives in a way that glorifies God, and it shows people what he is like. 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."

  6. Control, Approval, Comfort, Power. Why We Chase False Gods

    MAR 17

    Control, Approval, Comfort, Power. Why We Chase False Gods

    We all have hidden idols—big and small. An idol is anything that takes God’s place in your heart, absorbs your imagination, or promises what only He can give. This week on the Everyday Disciple Podcast, we’re tackling the four root idols: control, approval, comfort, and power. You’ll learn how to identify and destroy them in your life. Idols today aren’t statues or totems—they’re far more subtle. Listen when your heart says, “If I just had that, then my life would have meaning… then I’d feel valuable, significant, or secure.” In This Episode You’ll Learn: –A clear, practical definition of what idols look like in our lives. –The four root idols that fuel all forms of false worship. –Key emotional triggers that reveal the idols controlling us. –How these idols steal our worship and devotion from God.

  7. Jesus Didn’t Argue—Why Should We?

    MAR 10

    Jesus Didn’t Argue—Why Should We?

    One of the biggest reasons Christians hesitate to talk about their faith is the fear of sounding weird or being hit with tough questions they can’t answer. Others feel like they have to “win” people over, and if they don’t, they’ve somehow failed. This week on the Everyday Disciple Podcast, we’ll unpack why treating evangelism like a spiritual tug-of-war isn’t the way to go. In fact, apologetics often makes for poor evangelism—no one has ever been “argued” into the Kingdom! Apologetics is valuable for defending our faith within Christian communities, but it’s not the best tool for engaging those outside the Church. And when we do discuss differences—especially with fellow believers—we’re called to do so with gentleness and respect. Before jumping into any debate, let’s make sure our hearts are in the right place. In This Episode You’ll Learn: –A clear understanding of apologetics and the true purpose of evangelism –Two distinct approaches to starting faith conversations –The real value of apologetics within Christian communities –Why Jesus didn’t rely on tricks, tactics, or arguments to reveal his Father
