Discipleship and Mission Made Simple

  • 30 minutes 44 seconds
    Leading Missional Communities Without Falling Apart

    Missional community life can be challenging to sustain, and leading one often feels even more complex. How do you know if you and a potential co-leader are truly aligned? What steps should you take to get started? Navigating these questions well can make all the difference in building a thriving, mission-focused community.

    This week on the Everyday Disciple Podcast, we’ll help you determine who you should lead with and how to handle disagreements along the way. Whether you're working with leaders you've developed over time or forming a brand-new team, we’ll explore the key principles that create strong, unified leadership in missional communities


    • In This Episode You’ll Learn:
    • What healthy missional community (MC) leadership looks like.


    • The best ways to deal with conflict as leaders.


    • Getting leaders on the same page as to “what the mission is” 


    • How practicing the 23 “one-anothers” from scripture is key to healthy leadership.


    Get started here...

    From this episode:“God shows his grace on Earth through people, and leaders show others God’s grace and what it looks like to know and live out the good news of the Kingdom in every area of life. Your job in leading a missional community (or a church for that matter) is primarily that–not to be in charge and make all the decisions about what everyone else is supposed to do.”Each week the Big 3 will give you immediate action steps to get you started.

    Missional Community: Have You Really Tried It?
    Many churches think they’ve tried starting “missional communities” before, but they failed.  Or they've given 'micro-church' a try, and that didn't take off either. But actually… maybe they just exported religious activities! This week on the Everyday Disciple Podcast, we look at the difference between talking a good missional game and truly living in a community that is radically focused on discipleship as a lifestyle. In This Episode You’ll Learn:
    • One of the most common reasons that missional communities fail.
    • Why our best intentions at living on mission often turn into new “law”.
    • The difference between religion and the gospel of grace.
    • How to get the help to make authentic missional living a reality.

    Get started here… From this episode: “Often folks that say they’ve tried to start missional communities actually only tried decentralized religious activities. They lay out a list of what folks are supposed to DO when they get together (all of this quickly becomes and feels like LAW), and they wonder why no one is that into it… and especially their not-yet believing friends who really want very little to do with these supposed new religious activities.”

    Why Our Advice Rarely Helps
    Christians can often get into a mindset where we think everything that is wrong or untrue needs to be addressed NOW!  And so with the banner of “speaking the truth in love” flying high over our heads, we dive in with our unsolicited advice. In this episode of the Everyday Disciple Podcast, Caesar explains why most people really don't want to hear our advice. We'll look at what motivates a lot of our advice-giving, and learn some best practices for when we do need to offer help and insights to others. In This Episode You’ll Learn:
    • The 4 types of advice that we give to people.
    • Why we feel the need to quickly offer our advice to others.
    • How the gospel speaks into our motivations when giving advice.
    • Best practices so people will want to hear your advice.

    Get started here… From this episode: “Do you give advice because you want to see a person’s pain stop and their situation improve? (Sounds good…) Or so that God will be more glorified in their life? Which, in turn, produces life in the Kingdom of God which is the best life we could ever live. Who and what is our focus makes all the difference in how we give advice and how it is perceived and received."
    Each week the Big 3 will give you immediate action steps to get you started.

    Tithing: Law, Grace, and Generosity
    Christians are taught that we should be giving 10% of everything we earn to the church. Is the practice of tithing still in effect for us today, or is it time to reconsider this practice? This week on the Everyday Disciple Podcast, we’ll look at the truth about tithing. Is it biblical? Are we under-giving or over-giving if we are tithing, and how might we give in light of the gospel? In This Episode You’ll Learn:
    • The 3 types of tithes God mandated Israel to give in the Law.
    • How tithes and offerings were used in the Old Testament.
    • What Jesus taught about giving and how it reflects our hearts.
    • How the Gospel informs our giving and support of the Church today.

    From this episode: “Empowered by God working within us, we’re now called, like our Lord Jesus, to lay down our lives for others. This includes sacrificially giving of ourselves—our time, possessions, talents… our plans—out of love for God and for others.”   Each week the Big 3 will give you immediate action steps to get you started.

    Discipleship Beyond the Topical Checklist
    Wouldn’t it be great if Jesus had just left us his “5 Big Steps” or “3 Important Ingredients” for disciple-making? It would be so much simpler if discipleship in the real world was a little more spelled out and outlined into a few basics. In this episode of the Everyday Disciple Podcast, we’re going to show you how discipleship looks less like one big thing or series of classes... and more like a million little things. In This Episode You’ll Learn:
    • Why there will never be a perfect set of classes or “one big thing” that adds up to maturity in our churches.
    • How Romans 8:28 helps clarify what God is up to when it comes to our sanctification.
    • Why dependence on the works of the Holy Spirit is crucial in discipleship.
    • Why disciple-making was never meant to be the job of a few professionals.

    Get started here... From this episode: “I think we’ve overcomplicated discipleship... and sort of dumbed it down to a set of learnings and head knowledge instead of an experience with others of how the gospel of Jesus speaks into and shapes a million little things that all add up to the life we were created to live: His life.”

    Small Daily Steps to Big Kingdom Impact
    Staying on track toward accomplishing large goals can seem hard, but all big things come from small beginnings. The seed of every habit is a single, tiny decision and we all do exactly what we choose to do every day. In this episode, Caesar shares a simple process for getting started and sustaining movement toward our great task and mission of making disciples of Jesus in community. You'll discover the habit of small daily steps that add up to something big! In This Episode You’ll Learn:
    • The "Daffodil Principle".
    • The power of moving 1% each day toward your goals.
    • How our actions and habits reveal our true motivation.
    • A simple daily process that will add up to big changes!

    Get started here… From this episode: "We all do exactly what we choose to do every day. If your family life on mission, or your church or small group is not living with the spiritual freedom and relational peace you desire, it is within your God-given ability to change that. Your actions reveal how badly you want something. If you keep saying something is a priority but you never act on it, then you don’t really want it."
    Each week the Big 3 will give you immediate action steps to get you started.

    Replacing a Scarcity Mindset With Gospel Truth
    Many in the world today are living with a very real sense of scarcity and lack. And with so much division and political strife, a feeling of scarcity in our relationships may have also set in.    In this episode of the Everyday Disciple Podcast, Caesar shares his own experience of being raised with a scarcity mentality and where the true root of this mindset comes from. He'll also help you find freedom and show you how to experience an abundance mindset. In This Episode You’ll Learn:
    • What causes a scarcity mentality and how to escape it.
    • How living with a scarcity mindset affects all of life–not just money.
    • How the gospel speaks good news and abundance to scarcity.
    • Steps to begin to lose a scarcity mentality and find freedom.

    Get started here… From this episode: “An abundance mentality flows out of a deep inner sense of personal worth and security. Remember, you were created in the image of our perfect Father God who loves you! Out of his endless supply and wealth, we can live in the reality that there is plenty and more than enough to share with others. This is true of money and time, of prestige, of recognition, of resources, of decision making.”

    Rethinking Family as a Team on Mission
    For many in Western civilization, our idea of "family" seems like a failed experiment. We’ve been sold the line that the family exists primarily as a springboard for the individual. But what if our families functioned more like a team–a team on a mission? In this episode of the Everyday Disciple Podcast, Caesar talks with Jeremy Pryor, who has created a multi-generational household that lives together on mission making disciples of Jesus. Their story is powerful! In This Episode You’ll Learn:
    • Why so many families fail to live as a team and do life and mission together.
    • The simple, yet powerful rhythms that Jeremy's family live in.
    • The role that "intentionality" plays in establishing new family rhythms.
    • Ideas to help you start to create a family team right where you're at.

    Get started here… From this episode: “There’s this other bigger story about what God's doing with his bride and the church, which is nested inside an even bigger story. Which is how God desires to recapture all of humanity. It goes from Genesis 1 all the way to the end of Revelation. And so you can fixate on smaller stories, and sometimes, we live our lives kind of from the center out, but man, you need to be careful that you [and your family] don't become part of a smaller story. You have to see the bigger picture.”

    Living On Mission With No Church Support
    You want to live a more missional life—sharing everyday rhythms with others, building community, and making disciples. But what do you do when your pastor or church leadership isn’t on board? This week on the Everyday Disciple Podcast, we’ll start by speaking to your heart. Then, we’ll guide you with practical steps to get started and share ways to inspire your leaders and others to embrace this missional lifestyle with you. In This Episode You’ll Learn:
    • The crucial difference between most traditional churches and missional communities.
    • The real threats and fears that you may be experiencing as opposition.
    • How Jesus was definitely in the “both/and” camp with a single focus.
    • Ways to get started living as an example for others.

    Get started here... From this episode: “Live as an example. Let your good deeds and humility shine the light for all to see. You will never lead a movement of change by being against anything. What are you for? It is better to light a candle than to curse the darkness.”  
    Each week the Big 3 will give you immediate action steps to get you started.

    10 Ideas For Your Christmas on Mission
    Many of us were raised to believe that the Christmas holidays are a time to unplug from outside relationships and our “normal” community rhythms. Even many Christians tend to isolate away from their small groups, missional communities, and neighbors instead of pressing deeper into relationships at this time of year. In this episode of the Everyday Disciple Podcast, we'll give you 10 fun and easy missional ideas that you can do with family and friends to help you stay on mission this holiday season. In This Episode You’ll Learn:
    • Why the Christmas holidays are a perfect time to reach out on mission.
    • How recent social distancing regulations have made certain, favorite, holiday traditions a perfect opportunity for mission in your neighborhood.
    • How to pick one other family to be part of your family this holiday season.
    • 10 ideas you can mix and match that are fun for your family to do together.

    Get started here… From this episode: “Try doing a Christmas Eve 'candlelight' singalong... or you could pump this up by hosting it as a mini candlelight Christmas Eve service, where the Christmas story is read from the Bible or another book. You can pray for each other, for God to bless and prosper everyone in the new year ahead, and express gratitude for God sending Jesus to us as the light of the world!”

    Gratitude, Grace, and the Gospel
    Gratitude is more than delighting in a gift; it is a feeling of happiness directed toward a person for giving you something good. Growing in our ability to consistently be grateful and express gratitude is not only life-changing but is part of becoming a mature disciple of Jesus. This episode of the Everyday Disciple Podcast examines the connection between gratitude, grace, and the Gospel. You’ll discover how expressing gratitude for the giver–not just the good gift–connects our hearts deeper to that person and is a picture of the gospel in and of itself. Think of the godliest people you know, the people you most respect, other mature Believers you want to emulate and imitate. Almost certainly, the people you are thinking of are grateful people. Cynics, complainers, and critics may be popular on social media and late-night television, but they do not make great heroes of the faith. In This Episode You’ll Learn:
    • How expressing gratitude actually changes us physically.
    • What a lack of gratitude and a tendency to focus on the negative leads to.
    • How even spending a few minutes with a truly grateful person changes lives.
    • Immediate, hand-held steps you can take to grow in expressing gratitude.

    Get started here… From this episode: “God, in Christ, has given us all the most amazing and precious gift we will ever receive. Jesus gave us his own life, that we may be forgiven and set free. Let’s not just be grateful for that gift, but remember, we get to express our gratitude for, and to, the GIVER of such grace! How grateful, on a daily basis, are you for Jesus, the giver of such good gifts?”
