November 09Gospel Fluency For Your Family and Church
Every sin and emotional issue that stands in the way of our faithfulness to God’s design, and Jesus’ commands, is ultimately a Gospel issue. The Bible teaches that all sin is the outcome of unbelief in God. We can learn to apply the truth about God and the Good News to every area of our lives.
In this episode, Caesar is joined by two different disciple-making practitioners as they talk about how they've learned to speak the good news of the Gospel into their family life and with those in their church. This is a very practical example of Gospel Fluency in action.
In This Episode You'll Learn:
How Tina has learned to "gospel" her own heart and areas of unbelief.

Why taking the time to learn and practice the language of the Gospel is essential.

The ways Pastor Tim is using his Gospel Fluency in leading the church.

The importance of learning to speak, live and enjoy the Gospel in ALL of life!

From this episode:
"I've been learning this and trying to wrestle through it for years. And it's really helping to identify my unbelief and what that is. It comes up in so many different ways. And I think it's easier to see in my kids and talk, talk to them about it versus my own heart. But one of the biggest impacts has been speaking the gospel to myself and being able to recognize my deep need for trusting in who God is and remembering that."

November 027 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.

Get started here...
From this episode:
“Believe it or not, most people are very open to having spiritual conversations. But it must be in the right context, at the right time, and we must have the right heart posture in order for it to truly be a conversation that others want to participate in… and maybe revisit over time. Asking more questions and listening well–especially at the beginning of a relationship–is a lot more important than trying to “win” the conversation on the spot.”

October 26Is Your Church Successful? New Benchmarks
Jesus was immeasurably the most successful person in human history. In every way. Yet, if we were to measure his lifetime effectiveness using today’s Church benchmarks of success, Jesus would probably find it hard to get hired on at most churches. What are you measuring?
This week on the Everyday Disciple Podcast, we look at why some of the traditional ways we’ve been measuring church success are not producing kingdom growth and mature disciples. Here are the new benchmarks of a successful church.
Your church or community really can shift toward missional engagement. By changing what you measure, you’ll begin to change your focus to accomplishing the Church’s true mission and its ultimate purpose.
In This Episode You’ll Learn:
Why what your church is measuring may actually be toxic.

How our current standards of success are very different than Jesus’.

What happens when we begin to measure and fund different goals.

10 new benchmarks of a successful, missional church.

Get started here...
From this episode:
“Sure Jesus could draw a crowd, usually around healings and massive meal times, yet he primarily spent the bulk of his leadership energy and time with only a dozen people. In our modern church, Jesus would not get great marks here and would probably not get that promotion up the ladder… Senior leadership usually relegates discipleship to lower team members or ‘directors.’ Sorry, Jesus.”

October 12Hearing God With a Head Full of Voices
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 of the Everyday Disciple Podcast, 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!

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.

Get started here...
From this episode:
“If you are listening to the Voice of love, hospitality, generosity, justice, and compassion, and hope – NOTHING in this whole world will be able to snatch you away – nothing will be able to knock you down, tear you up, turn you around – it simply can’t be done – because nothing can separate you from the grace and love of God through Jesus Christ who is Lord.”

October 055 Ongoing Essentials Missional Leaders Need
Leadership within the Church is so much more than just tasks and jobs getting done. Biblical leadership does get things done and serve the Family, but effectiveness as leaders is so much more about character, their hearts, and a growing ability to speak and model the Gospel in all of life.
In this episode, Caesar gives you 5 ongoing essentials that every missional leader needs in their life. Unfortunately, almost no one was trained for the type of leadership that missional communities require. Let's be the ones that change that!
In This Episode You’ll Learn:
Why the commitment to developing leaders attracts great leaders.

What to do if YOU are not getting these 5 essentials as a leader.

The importance of every leader having an apprentice.

What happens if you're missing any of these 5 essentials.

Get started here...
From this episode:
“Treating people like “stop gaps” to our problems in an area of ministry only reinforces a DO=BE mentality and ultimately demoralizes people. Seeing and treating your leaders as divine Image-bearers and like members of your family puts you both in a humble position to receive the ongoing grace that our heavenly Father offers–regardless of our performance or less-than-perfect leadership record.”

September 28Dealing With Limiting Beliefs About Discipleship And Mission
As Christians, we most often use the word “belief” in connection to our faith and the Bible, but we also have beliefs that shape our lives connected to pretty much every action or inaction in life. Sometimes these beliefs can limit our potential.
In this episode of the Everyday Disciple Podcast, we'll talk about how you can identify and replace your limiting beliefs about discipleship and mission. It's time to start moving forward!
In This Episode You’ll Learn:
How to recognize and name any limiting beliefs you have.

How to identify excuses or perceived barriers that keep you stuck.

Ways to explore your unmet spiritual desires.

Who you need to spend more time with to promote the changes you want.

Get started here...
From this episode:
"God’s desire is that you would live with spiritual freedom and relational peace. This is what Jesus came to model for us and then commanded his disciples (that’s us today) to go and live the same way, making more disciples. He has placed his own Holy Spirit within you and not given you a spirit of fear or limitations. Don’t let your limiting beliefs or fears or dead traditions stop you from embracing the life that Jesus died to give you."

September 21Spirituality That Fuels God’s Mission
Mission for God and intimacy with God can often become disconnected and seem like competing priorities and passions. But what if you could cultivate a vibrant and authentic spirituality that doesn’t draw you away from your neighbors, but propels you into the lives of others and the needs of your city?
In this episode of the Everyday Disciple Podcast, Caesar is joined by church planters Jeremy and Monica Chambers as they break down this divide in a way that helps you discover fresh joy in living as a Jesus-follower, and become more fruitful in your everyday mission.
In This Episode You’ll Learn:
Why there seems to be a divide between deep spirituality and mission.

Why focusing just on contemplation or just on the mission is incomplete.

How to cultivate a vibrant spirituality that doesn’t draw you away from others.

A practice where you'll discover new ways in which God is truly amazing!

Get started here...
From this episode:
"Don't get caught up thinking, Oh, if I do this practice, then God's going to be more pleased with me, or whatever. No! These practices are about you making yourself available to God to connect with him and to be able to receive His goodness and his love."

September 14How to Create a Lifestyle of Discipleship
Is discipleship about gaining knowledge, or is it about a transformed life? Is it a series of classes or, like with Jesus and his pals, was it an all-of-life kind of a deal? In this episode of the Everyday Disciple Podcast, we’re talking about true discipleship and looking at what a lifestyle of discipleship looks like when it is all woven into the normal rhythms of your everyday life in community. In This Episode You’ll Learn:A working definition of discipleship that will reshape your thinking on this immediately
How Jesus lived life with his disciples and what he then hoped/commanded them to do
Why a series of 8-10 classes done in a classroom will never produce mature disciples
Why an integrated lifestyle “apprenticeship” was Jesus’ model for us

Get started here... From this episode: “What I have found from speaking and training all over the world, and getting a zillion emails, is that the average Christian is looking to move their faith from just a weekly Sunday event to a daily, vibrant experience in the normal rhythms of everyday life."Each week the Big 3 will give you immediate action steps to get you started.Download today’s BIG 3 right now.
