The difference between introverts and extroverts is one of the most misunderstood aspects of personality. So many people get it wrong, leading to myths and assumptions that just don’t hold up.

Are we hearing impaired when it comes to the voice of God? Could it be that what we believe and have labeled as relational, emotional, and spiritual problems are actually ‘hearing’ problems?  In this episode, Caesar shows us how to turn down the negative voices in our heads, dial in the authentic divine Voice, and…

Evangelism has almost become a dirty word in our culture. Sadly, it’s not all that different in many churches. We either go all-in with enthusiasm only to find that most people aren’t interested, or we’ve quietly given up on it altogether. But what if we’re missing the heart of evangelism? In this episode of the…

Men’s and women’s ministries have been separated in the church for years. But the church is a family. And when we disciple together, as a family in community, we experience deeper discipleship in every area of life. In this episode of the Everyday Disciple Podcast, Caesar is joined by his wife Tina, and their friend…

We all have hidden idols—big and small. An idol is anything that takes God’s place in your heart, absorbs your imagination, or promises what only He can give. This week on the Everyday Disciple Podcast, we’re tackling the four root idols: control, approval, comfort, and power. You’ll learn how to identify and destroy them in…

One of the biggest reasons Christians hesitate to talk about their faith is the fear of sounding weird or being hit with tough questions they can’t answer. Others feel like they have to “win” people over, and if they don’t, they’ve somehow failed. This week on the Everyday Disciple Podcast, we’ll unpack why treating evangelism…

If you’re a pastor, much of what fills your week may not be bearing the fruit you think. It’s easy to get stuck on a hamster wheel of tasks—some self-imposed, others added by others—that drain your energy and resources over time. This week on the Everyday Disciple Podcast, we’re exploring why most leaders should STOP…

The word “missional” isn’t outdated or irrelevant. It still means living with a radical focus on making disciples of Jesus in everyday life—our unchanging mission as the church. This week on the Everyday Disciple Podcast, we’re tackling the distractions that pull leaders away from a true “missional mindset.” We’ll explore why a consistent discipleship focus…

We often hear the word ‘accountability’ thrown around in Christian circles. For some, it can hold deep meaning and value; for others, it can conjure up feelings of failure, shame, or defeat. In this episode of the Everyday Disciple Podcast, we talk about how accountability relationships are not all good or beneficial… but they can…

Church discipline is a term found nowhere in the Bible. But it is taught and practiced, often rather harshly. And many have been hurt by churches not doing this correctly. It can be difficult to do in ways that show the love of God.  This week on the Everyday Disciple Podcast, we discuss how to…

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…

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…

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…

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…

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…

Staying on track toward accomplishing large goals can seem hard, but all big things come from small beginnings.

In this episode, Caesar shares a simple process for getting started and sustaining movement toward…

Many in the world today are living with a very real sense of scarcity and lack.

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…

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…
