12 October 2026, 7:15 am - 26 minutes 30 seconds5 Ongoing Essentials Missional Leaders NeedLeadership 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.”Each week the Big 3 will give you immediate action steps to get you started.

5 October 2026, 7:15 am - 20 minutes 4 secondsDealing With Limiting Beliefs About Discipleship And MissionAs 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."Each week the Big 3 will give you immediate action steps to get you started.

21 September 2026, 7:15 am - 27 minutes 43 secondsHow 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."

14 September 2026, 7:15 am - 23 minutes 51 seconds5 Dumb Things Christians Need To Stop Doing
- The life of Jesus was and will always be counter-cultural. But often, it seems, we’re not ridiculed or rejected because we’re living such radically loving and selfless lives, it’s because we actually live so little like Jesus. In this episode, Caesar looks at 5 dumb things that Christians need to stop doing that are affecting our witness and our discipleship efforts. And he gives a little of the gospel “thing behind the thing” with each of these issues. In This Episode You’ll Learn:Why we need to be careful with what we say online.
- How even our most loving actions can be misunderstood.
- The things that Jesus got angry about (are you?).
- How the way we handle conflict reflects our faith.
Get started here... From this episode: “The world has a judge and it's not you! Remember, God has both judged and punished all human sin on the cross. It is finished. That's what Jesus said. It is finished. Do you believe that? So let's stop judging everyone, both inside and outside the church. Let's start loving them. And let God be God."

7 September 2026, 7:15 am - 46 minutes 31 secondsDiscipleship Rhythms For a Community on Mission
- Ministry and discipleship cannot merely be a series of events on the calendar. If all we have are organized events, then what we offer people is a program. But, if all we do in our disciple-making is organic and rarely organized or predictable, it is hard for people to know what it is we're asking them to commit to. This week on the Everyday Disciple Podcast, Caesar speaks with master disciple-maker, Gino Curcuruto, on how the rhythms of a community on mission very much mirror life as a family. We need both organized and organic rhythms. We'll show you how to find and create a balance between them. In This Episode You’ll Learn:Discipleship should not be a program we offer others.
- How to help people understand what we are asking them to commit to.
- The need for both organized and organic rhythms in community.
- How predictable patterns naturally lead to life-on-life together.
Get started here... From this episode: “I've noticed that it takes very few organized activities as a family to lead to healthy organic rhythms that naturally occur. And those organics then, because you're doing life-on-life together, oftentimes lead back to sort of micro-organized things. It's all very natural and easy.”

- Experiencing a diverse group of believers walking with and worshiping God together as a family is a beautiful thing. However, there will be obstacles to overcome for this to become a common reality. In this episode, Caesar walks through 7 challenges to greater cultural diversity that are facing the Church.

- God has a diverse family–and not just on Sunday!
- Why the restoration of relationships is key to diversity in the Church.
- Steps to living a more diverse cultural experience together.

We're talking about a restoration to the way God created us to be and hopes for us to be together.”Each week the Big 3 will give you immediate action steps to get you started.Download today’s BIG 3 right now.

24 August 2026, 7:15 am - 45 minutes 1 secondIt’s Time For The Church To Tell a New Story (w/Brad Brisco)
- If we are serious about changing the culture within the church, then we must begin to change the narrative that leaders tell. If the only stories we are telling through social media are who is preaching, what you’re preaching, and how amazing everything was on Sunday, then we will continue to get and BE what we continue to highlight. In this episode of the Everyday Disciple Podcast, Caesar is joined by author and missional strategist, Brad Brisco. They discuss how the types of stories we're commonly telling about our churches are having damaging consequences. It's time to change all that! In This Episode You’ll Learn:How silly our stories about our church sound and look online.
- How many of our stories betray a deep sense of consumerism.
- Why changing the narratives we tell will reshape the Church itself.
- Ways to discover and discern what God is already doing, and then tell those stories.
Get started here… From this episode: "If our relationship with God is largely transactional, then that’s how we’ll view the Church. God desires a relationship of trust with you that is real and present. He is longing to draw you into His big Story and in so doing, rewrite the story of your life. And not just your afterlife, but today, tomorrow… with your family and friends, and within the Church." Each week the Big 3 will give you immediate action steps to get you started.
