Everyday Disciple Podcast

• Most of us carry a definition of justice we picked up somewhere along the way — and it usually looks like payback. Someone wrongs you, someone wrongs others, and justice means they get what's coming to them. But what if that version of justice has almost nothing to do with what God actually means by the word? In this episode of the Everyday Disciple Podcast, we're going to dig into what the Bible actually means by mercy and justice — and why they're not opposites. You'll discover how God's justice is really about restoration, and what it looks like to participate in that restorative work in the lives of people around you. In This Episode You’ll Learn: The biblical definitions of mercy and justice that will change how you see both
• What actually produces a love of mercy in your own heart
• How God's restorative justice is bigger than any weekend service project
• Where to start engaging real injustice — locally and globally

Get started here... From this episode: "Justice is really about restoration. Getting even or punishing people for their screw-ups is going in the wrong direction. It's working against God's purposes. God is not interested in getting even; he wants people to see who they really are — who they were meant to be. How they should live. For things to be made right, restored."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.

In this episode of the Everyday Disciple Podcast, we're going to unpack what gossip actually is — and the definition will probably surprise you. You'll discover why it's genuinely dangerous, how to recognize it in the moment, and three ways to crush it before it spreads. This one could change how you listen to every conversation. In This Episode You’ll Learn:A definition of gossip that instantly changes how you hear conversations
• Seven real reasons gossip is more destructive than you've been told
• Three practical moves to crush gossip before it takes hold

• Most of us grew up with a gospel that was mainly about the afterlife. Avoid hell. Get to heaven. Manage sin in the meantime. But quietly, you start to wonder — is this it? Is this all Jesus came to give us? It's a fair question, and the answer might surprise you. In this episode of the Everyday Disciple Podcast, we're going to unpack what it looks like to live with a bigger gospel — one that has something real to say about your marriage, your money, your identity, and your Tuesday afternoon. We call this Gospel Fluency. And it changes everything. In This Episode You’ll Learn: Why the gospel is good news for right now — not just the afterlife
• A simple 4-question process for applying the gospel to any situation
• How what you believe about God shapes how you see yourself
• What it looks like when discipleship becomes naturally good news

Get started here... From this episode: "When you have a bigger gospel you'll develop the confidence and grace to speak the truth in love — first to yourself — and then with others in a way that is truly good news. Evangelism will no longer be a weird or stressful sales pitch and your discipleship with others will be supercharged with good news."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 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.

• "It won't work in my context." I've heard this everywhere — urban, suburban, rural. And honestly? I've probably thought it myself. We look at the gaps, the distances, the busyness of real life and quietly wonder if maybe community only works somewhere else. Turns out, everyone thinks that. And it turns out… everyone is wrong. In this episode of the Everyday Disciple Podcast, we're going to dig into whether missional community is actually possible in your context — wherever that is. We'll look at what Jesus modeled, why healthy families and missional communities share surprising DNA, and how to figure out what your specific community actually needs to thrive. In This Episode You’ll Learn: Why Jesus always made disciples in community—not solo
• The surprising overlap between healthy families and missional life
• What every context has in common (it's not what you think)
• How to read the DNA of your specific community and context

Get started here... From this episode: "One thing that is universal about a missional community in any context is that this sort of lifestyle is going to be messy. It is not a weekly Bible study or an hour-long, one-on-one meeting. You'll need to give your whole life to making disciples the way Jesus did."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 hear the word "conflict" and immediately want to avoid it. But not all conflict is the same — and the kind you keep running from might be the exact thing that would heal your relationship. The problem is we're wired to avoid the good kind and let the bad kind fester quietly. In this episode of the Everyday Disciple Podcast, we're going to break down the two types of conflict, show you why one of them is actually essential for healthy relationships and community, and give you real steps for addressing the conflict you've been walking around for too long. In This Episode You’ll Learn:The clear difference between the two kinds of conflict and how to tell which one you're in
• Why we're wired to avoid the good type of conflict and quietly adjust to the bad
• How conflict creates one of the best environments for discipleship you'll ever find
• Real steps for addressing a conflict in your life and community

Get started here... From this episode: "Behind every conflict lives a series of lies and unbelief. Identifying those and replacing them with the truth about God, ourselves, and how we GET to live is always the goal. That's what discipleship is — and how we experience the Kingdom of heaven now… here!"Each week the Big 3 will give you immediate action steps to get you started.Download today’s BIG 3 right now.
