We’ve all felt it — that restless sense that something’s missing, that maybe a better church would fix it. So we start shopping around. But here’s the thing: when we bring our consumer mindset with us, no new building or better band is going to solve what’s actually going on inside us. In this episode…

Most of us think of faith as something that lives in the spiritual lane. We go to church, read our Bibles, pray — and that’s the Christian life. But what about your mental health? Your physical health? What if God actually cares about all of it, and the gospel was always meant to speak to…

We all know we could be more generous — but for most of us, that just means dropping something in the offering plate or tipping a little extra. Meanwhile, we grip tightly to everything else God’s given us. What if real generosity isn’t really about money at all, but about how loosely we hold everything…

Ever notice how the person you fell in love with starts feeling more like a roommate or business partner? Between work deadlines, kid schedules, and just keeping up with life, the spark that once came so easily can quietly fade into the background. What used to build intimacy and connection gets buried under busyness, tiredness,…

The world tells us to perform our way to value—work harder, serve more, achieve better. We chase approval from family, friends, bosses, even our churches. But this exhausting cycle of performance misses something crucial: who God says you already are. What if your identity isn’t something you earn, but something you’ve already been given? In…

We’ve all seen hollow public apologies. But most of us won’t face public scandal—we’ll face everyday moments when we’ve hurt someone and need to make it right. Sometimes it’s sin, sometimes it’s unintentional. How do you know the difference? And how do you apologize well? In this episode of the Everyday Disciple Podcast, we’re going…

We’ve learned from scripture to use male pronouns when we talk about God. He’s our Father. But what if there’s a richness to God’s nature that we’ve been missing because we’ve only been looking at half the picture? In this episode of the Everyday Disciple Podcast, we’re exploring the feminine aspects of God’s divine nature—something…

Addiction touches millions of families every day, and the heartache and brokenness that comes with it can feel overwhelming. Real, lasting freedom is possible. But it doesn’t come from just stopping the behavior. Healing happens when we uncover and address the pain, lies, and emotions underneath it all. In this episode of the Everyday Disciple…

Most of us feel busy. Our calendars are full, our days feel crowded, and we’re often left wondering where the time went. We’re constantly being told how to get more done and be more efficient, but rarely do we stop to ask a deeper question: What is all this time actually for? And what might…

From living on mission without kids… to dealing with negativity in community… to how we approach the Lord’s Supper (and yes—even whether I was once a rockstar), we’re answering as many of your questions as we can in this special year-end episode. In this episode of the Everyday Disciple Podcast, Heath and Caesar open the…

When a recent survey asked, “If you could say in one word what you want more of in life, what would that be?” very surprisingly, LOVE didn’t even make the top 10. Could it be that money and false happiness have replaced the need for love in our lives today? In this episode of the…

For hundreds of years, the church has anticipated the coming of Jesus during the season of Advent. Into this space, this void, the angels announced to the shepherds the good news of Jesus that would bring great joy to all people.  In this episode of the Everyday Disciple Podcast, Caesar continues the Advent Series as…

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…

The peace Jesus came to bring was not coercive or backed up by military might, and it was not the type of peace that most of the world was looking for. The announcement of the Messiah’s birth heralded something different and transformational. In this episode of the Everyday Disciple Podcast, Caesar continues the Advent Series…

The story of Christ’s birth is a story of promise, hope, and revolutionary love. So, what happened? What was once a time to celebrate the birth of a savior has somehow turned into a season of stress, shopping lists, and debt. In this episode of the Everyday Disciple Podcast, Caesar starts a special Advent Series…
