God longs to redeem the story of your life and set you on the path to reclaiming your dreams… His dreams. Are you ready? In this episode of the Everyday Disciple Podcast, Caesar and Heath speak with author and international church leader, Jo Saxton. Her insights into who God made you to be are refreshing and may encourage you to reexamine a few things in your life. Born to Nigerian parents and raised in London, Jo brings a multi-cultural and international perspective to leadership. She challenges societal stereotypes and helps people discover who they truly are, by seeing themselves the way God sees them. You will LOVE this interview! In This Episode You’ll Learn:

• How we begin to believe lies about ourselves.

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 in 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."

Depending on your upbringing or past church experience, you may be “all about” the Spirit... or you may see the Holy Spirit as the weird uncle of the Trinity; he shows up once in a while to utter some strange words, and you sorta politely wait for him to leave. 🥹 In this episode of the Everyday Disciple Podcast, we talk about this least-known and most misunderstood member of the Trinity. We’ll show you why you need to get to know the Holy Spirit. In This Episode You’ll Learn:

• The role the Spirit played throughout scripture.
• How Jesus was led and empowered throughout his entire ministry.
• Why most pastors try to assume the role that the Spirit should have in their churches.
• Natural ways to begin to have a daily relationship with the Holy Spirit.

From this episode: “When we began to believe and preach a small gospel that was man-centered and focused on our afterlife in heaven, while we attended church and tried not to sin here on Earth, we lost the one true mission of the church: make disciples of Jesus.”

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!

  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."

Have you found it hard–really hard–to move people in your church toward embracing change? Are you finding it frustrating to motivate folks to reorient their lives around discipleship, serving others, and missional living... versus a consumeristic experience of the church? In this episode of the Everyday Disciple Podcast, we'll tell you why the way you've learned to motivate people produces polarizing results. And we'll give you ways to initiate lasting change through more gospel-centered motivations. In This Episode You’ll Learn:

• Why the old ways of "carrot and stick" ultimately fail to motivate people.
• How the “DO=BE” distortion is in full effect in all of this.
• The difference between the Legalist and the Gospel when motivating others.
• How what we believe, love and fear changes everything.

From this episode: "All of these ways of trying to motivate others to do something new or accept a new way of being and living, all appeal to the same thing: Self. What’s in it for me? In other words, the person you are trying to motivate is internally, subconsciously, asking themselves, with each of these types of 'motivators', what’s in it for me? Will I gain authority or popularity, wealth, will I be seen as 'more'... how will this add to my sense of value and self-worth... in my own eyes, and the perception that others have of me."

Have you ever asked, What can I do to mend the world, my family, or my own life? And if I could, why bother? Does my own small part even matter? This week on the Everyday Disciple Podcast, Caesar is joined by Charlie Peacock and his wife Andi Ashworth. They discuss a model for expressing love in marriage, friendship, citizenship, and every kind of work—even in the midst of cynicism, fear, exhaustion, and oppression. In This Episode You’ll Learn:

• Why simple things in life can make such a big difference in the long run.
• Why we are all culture-makers... even if we don't know it.
• A theology of imagination and creativity that provides a framework for all of life.
• How our lives can help move people in the direction of Jesus–or away from him!

Get started here... From this episode: “We really believe that you're never going to win the culture or create a movement based on what you're against or who you're against, but what are you about? Who are you for? And we see in Christ that he's with and for everybody.”

Discipleship that mirrors what Jesus did with his disciples, and produces the same hope, maturity and multiplication, is an “all of life” experience. It looks very different than what most Christians have seen or participated in. This week on the Everyday Disciple Podcast, we’ll give you Part 2 of our talk on the 10 necessary aspects you’ll want to focus on in creating the right discipleship environment. In This Episode You’ll Learn:

• The difference between discipleship classes and holistic life-on-life experiences.
• Why words and knowledge alone are not enough; Modeling the life of Jesus is key.
• 6 of the 10 necessary aspects of a healthy discipleship environment (like Jesus had).
• Why ‘one-size-fits-all’ discipleship NEVER works!

Get started here... From this episode: “Teach those you disciple to expect multiplication to happen. As disciples teach others to obey all of Jesus’ commands, that includes his command to make more disciples. Part of being a disciple of Jesus is making disciples of Jesus.”

Discipleship is an all-of-life apprenticeship led by Jesus himself. To make disciples of Jesus, who in turn, know how to make more disciples, we must pay close attention to the experience and environment that Jesus provided his disciples. This week on the Everyday Disciple Podcast, we’ll give you Part 1 of a two-part talk on the 10 necessary aspects you’ll want to focus on in creating an effective discipleship environment. In This Episode You’ll Learn:

• Why your “discipleship” may not be producing the desired results in your people.
• Where, when, and how often Jesus interacted with his disciples.
• 4 of the 10 necessary aspects of a healthy discipleship environment (like Jesus had).
• Why your discipleship must be Spirit-led and Gospel-saturated!

Get started here... From this episode: “Jesus discipleship wasn't merely a Sunday School class to attend… like once you got through the 9 weeks of discipleship training, boom–you’re a disciple! That's how it was for me growing up in the church. I'm thankful for that time a certain man put into my life, it was something like nine 1-hour sessions. And for a very long time that was the extent of my discipleship. That's not what Jesus did.”

Life in a community on God's mission is messy. It just is.

In this episode, Caesar gives you 7 community relationship killers that you'll want to watch for and avoid. You're going to need this! In This Episode You’ll Learn:

• Why confidentiality is critical for a healthy community.
• How unspoken expectations undermine unity.
• How to deal with the "fixer" in your group.
• Ways that leaders set the tone and ethos for the community.

Get started here… From this episode:` “If expectations stay unspoken, and probably everyone has their own... you’ll start to–or continue to–have conflicts and hurt feelings that go unaddressed. Without vision, values, and expectations about who we are, what we’re doing together, and WHY being discussed and agreed upon, you’re open to a lot of conflicts and unspoken hard feelings”

You'll never lead anyone further, faster, or deeper into the gospel and discipleship than you’re leading your own family. Never. But people are waiting for a place at your table and a taste of life in the Kingdom of God! Let's go deeper... In this episode of the Everyday Disciple Podcast, Caesar and his wife, Tina, continue the story of how their family rhythms grew to include many others as they make disciples in community. They'll share some of the things that God had to change in their hearts and home for this Kingdom lifestyle to become a reality. In This Episode You’ll Learn:

• The rest of the Team K story and a heartwarming testimony you gotta hear!
• The ways God may want to speak into your busyness, fear, shyness, lack of love, etc.
• How individualism in our Western culture has severely damaged our families.
• Why the way you lead your family on mission can be the model for your church.

Get started here… From this episode: “I want to assure you, it is not your perfect home or your award-winning cooking skills that people are dying for. Letting go of these expectations requires me to believe, in the moment, that this is not really all about me; it is about Jesus being seen and experienced through us. Our neighbors don’t need an amazing meal; they need us to be Jesus with flesh on. True hospitality is about having an attitude and posture that says to others,  'You are always invited to join us; whatever we're eating, or doing… you are welcome.'"
