Discipleship and Mission Made Simple

    Finding Gospel Opportunities at Work
    We spend much of our lives with co-workers, often more than with family or friends, making the question of workplace discipleship both natural and nuanced. Opportunities are there, but they require a unique approach. This week on the Everyday Disciple Podcast, we discuss the realities of disciple-making at work. While work relationships can be limited, discipleship remains possible. Gospel fluency becomes essential as we look to infuse these settings with purpose and love, seeing our workplaces with fresh eyes and a heart for others. In This Episode You’ll Learn:
    • Discipleship is evangelism (and vice versa) and it is often a slow process.
    • How to think more holistically about discipleship in the workplace.
    • Ways to identify who at work is open to Spiritual things.
    • Practical examples of discipleship and gospel fluency at work.

    Get started here... From this episode: “Be a defender of the defenseless in your workplace, show grace and forgiveness regardless of the situation or if you’ve been hurt. In all these ways you’ll not only be helping people see and experience the gospel in action at work, but you’re also helping them move from unbelief to belief in connection to our Dad in heaven and who Jesus is.”

    Letting God Rearrange Our Priorities
    Sustaining a missional lifestyle is tough! Life gets messy, burnout creeps in, and old habits and personal preferences sneak back, sabotaging your progress. And with life only getting busier, it can feel overwhelming. In this episode of the Everyday Disciple Podcast, we’ll uncover what’s really keeping you from fully living on mission. It starts with letting God gently shift your priorities, helping you place his mission at the center of everything you do. In This Episode You’ll Learn:
    • A traditional and classic definition of “true discipleship”.
    • 10 things in your life that may need to be put on the "altar".
    • Why leading your family on mission as a way of life needs to start in your heart.
    • Practical steps for removing the clutter and idols that keep us from living on mission.

    Listen here... From this episode: “Ask God to show you things you may need to “die to” as well as new attitudes and rhythms you need to embrace. This is an important step, but it doesn’t happen overnight. You’ve got to start by counting the cost of discipleship before heading out into open waters.”

    Healing Relationships: Moving Beyond Forgiveness
    What could be more important than restoring a broken relationship? But what happens when one or both parties involved in the conflict are unwilling to forgive or trust is too broken? In this episode, we discuss how to restore relationships that seem too far gone to repair. If the gospel is truly Good News, then we have a path toward reconciliation laid out and modeled by God himself. In This Episode You'll Learn:
    • The difference between forgiveness and reconciliation
    • Why forgiveness is a personal choice
    • How one person can forgive but it takes two to reconcile
    • What happens when the other person will not forgive and move on

    Get started here... From this episode: "Jesus secured for us what we never could earn for ourselves: the forgiveness of sin and the restoration/reconciliation of our relationship with his Father. Both forgiveness and reconciliation! We can do the same in our relationships."

    Halloween: 7 Ways To Be Missional
    Halloween often carries a “dark history,” and many Christians have been told it's a holiday to avoid. But you might be surprised to learn the real story behind this event. Rather than missing out, it’s a prime opportunity to bring light and redemption to your community. In this episode of the Everyday Disciple Podcast, Caesar and Heath discuss the amazing opportunity that our current cultural experience of Halloween provides as we live on mission and make disciples. In This Episode You’ll Learn:
    • The history of Halloween and how the Church may have actually invented it.
    • How the Gospel redeems culture instead of avoiding it.
    • Why Christians can and should participate with radical generosity.
    • 7 ideas on ways to be more intentional and missional this year.

    From this episode: “We had a blast and took things further towards lasting relationships with several people. Our goal with this was to try and move relationships beyond just dropping a good candy bar in the bags of the kids… and start to develop connections and relationships with the parents beyond just this one night of Halloween.”

    Time to Leave Your Church? 7 Things To Consider Before You Go
    Is it time to leave your church? You didn’t always feel this way, but lately, there’s been a nagging sense that it might be time to move on and find a new church home. Yet, you wonder, “Is it just me?” This week on the Everyday Disciple Podcast, we’ll help you navigate that decision. We’ll explore 7 legitimate reasons it might be time to leave your church, along with some important cautions to consider before making your choice. In This Episode You’ll Learn:
    • Your “Church” is people... and that includes you!
    • Why God may want to keep you right where you’re at.
    • 7 legitimate reasons why it could be time to leave.
    • Key rhythms of life that equal “gathering together” as the Church.

    Get started here... From this episode: “I really do believe that the Bible teaches that the oikos/missional community is the primary organizing structure of the church. We all need that. That’s what we see in scripture. Are you part of a “family on mission”… an oikos that is increasingly hanging out as God’s family, experiencing the transformation of the gospel in all of life?”

    Gospel. Community. Mission. Discipleship Requires All 3
    The idea that 'Gospel, Community and Mission' is crucial to making mature disciples of Jesus may sound a little bit obvious to you at first. But it is surprising how few of us, and our churches, are careful to balance the focus and engagement of these powerful discipleship foundations.  This week on the Everyday Disciple Podcast, we talk about why all three of these components must be consistently engaged in and balanced if we want disciples of Jesus to grow to full maturity. In This Episode You’ll Learn:
    • Why we are seeing a lack of maturity in the Church today among Christians.
    • How all 3... Gospel, Community, and Mission play a critical role in disciple-making.
    • What it looks like when you only engage 2 of these 3 foundations with others.
    • Practical resources for growing your people in Gospel, Community, and Mission.

    Get started here… From this episode: "It is when we are out on God’s mission together, interacting with and serving others that are not exactly like us… or don’t always agree with us or appreciate our lives and perspective... that’s when our own unbelief, selfishness, personal preferences etc. all surface… and can then have the gospel applied to those areas of our lives. That doesn’t happen sitting in an air-conditioned classroom, with lots of hot coffee and snacks in the back, us taking notes and nodding in agreement."

    Choosing Connection Over Conflict
    It happens over and over again: a political argument with a friend, a fight about racial issues on the internet, a disagreement with a coworker… At the first sign of conflict, we flee to a bunker with people who think like us and—internally or externally—attack everyone else. We feel safe there. But it’s killing us; killing families, friendships, civility, and discourse. This week on the Everyday Disciple Podcast, we talk with author Brian Jennings and discover there is a better way—and we can walk in it! It may look like you’re dodging cultural landmines, but you just might be learning how to dance! 😀 In This Episode You’ll Learn:
    • The “thing behind the thing” with all the conflict we see in ideology today.
    • How Jesus faced personal, political, and relational conflict–and dealt with it.
    • How to practice “The 4 Ways of Wisdom” in our conversations and conflicts.
    • Practical steps you can take now to be Good News within dark conversations.

    Get started here... From this episode: “Engage before you contend. Get involved in the issues you care about and engage those involved and affected by the issue before you try and win every argument connected to this topic. Practice gracious restraint.”

    Unlocking Kingdom Growth in Everyday Life
    Are you living a “Kingdom of God lifestyle” today, in a very real sense? Do you feel like growth, abundance, and victory are all a part of your community life and church experience? This week on the Everyday Disciple Podcast, Caesar and Heath discuss how Jesus explained normal life and growth in the Kingdom of God. In This Episode You’ll Learn:
    • The true definition of a Missional Community.
    • Caesar’s story of a pretty rocky start to all of this 😳
    • How Jesus explained life (all of it) and growth, and what to expect.
    • The Pattern and Promise we see throughout the Parables in the NT.

    Get started here... From this episode: “There is a reason Jesus lived and taught in the ways he did. He wasn’t random or cleverly trying to adapt to the local customs of his day. Yes, his methods were rooted in real life, and they were immersed into his culture, but there was something far more eternal and subversive going on.”

    The “Jesus Model” For Loving Your Neighbor
    There was a time when neighbors knew each other’s names... when children and old folks in the neighborhood had more than their families looking out for them. What happened? This week on the Everyday Disciple Podcast, we talk with author, Lance Ford, as we ask the question: can you really love your neighbor as much as you love yourself? We live in an age when it feels like we have very little time for new and trusting relationships–and it’s hard to trust people! So we tend to isolate or stick closer to home and keep to ourselves. But people are dying for real relationship, and isolation only breeds further distrust. Maybe it’s time to change the narrative. In This Episode You’ll Learn:
    • What the Bible really says about loving your neighbor.
    • What we have lost as a society through hiding away and loving ourselves.
    • Why incarnational presence is the “Jesus Model” for loving your neighbor.
    • Practical steps to restoring our neighborhoods to become communities filled with love and redemption.

    Get started here... From this episode: “People are dying for relationships and connection. We can choose to push back against the consumerism and individualism that is so toxic. Let’s not let our affluence buy the very walls that keep us apart from real gospel-centered relationships.”
