Blessed to Be a Blessing: Your Family on Mission
Blessed to be a blessing sounds at once awesome… and a little daunting. Where do we start blessing people when there are SO MANY needs around us? That should make it easier, but honestly, it can kind of shut you down, not knowing WHO to bless or HOW. This week on the Everyday Disciple Podcast,…
Read More and ListenFirst Steps To Becoming a Missional Church
Many conversations about our churches becoming more missional (discipleship-focused) assume there are nothing but objections and arguments against living this way.

These…
Read More and ListenChanging Your Mind About Discipleship
If the Church keeps doing what it has been for decades in connection to disciple-making, we will continue to see a decline in Christianity in our time.

Read More and ListenWhy God Wants Us To Treat Everyone Like Family
Who’s ‘in’… who’s ‘out’… Are we really called to treat everyone like a part of the family? Or is this more of an expression of how we should try to live, primarily with other Christians? This week on the Everyday Disciple Podcast, we’ll show you what scripture teaches and try and convince you that God wants…
Read More and ListenIs Your Language Creating The Culture You Want?
It seems that many Christians are bilingual… We speak in one normal, everyday language most of the time, but when it comes time to talk about religion, spirituality, or God, we break out our special “Christianese” language. In this episode of the Everyday Disciple Podcast, we’ll talk about being more intentional (and careful) with the…
Read More and ListenLife In Community On Mission: The Glorious Mess
There is no such thing as a typical week in the rhythms of a missional community. Healthy communities follow pretty surprisingly simple patterns.

Read More and ListenFamily Discipleship and Mission Made Simple (Part 2)
I grew up going to church Sunday after Sunday. Discipleship, if and when it happened, was a series of classes or a 9-week curriculum that we went through. The problem with that was… it didn’t really work. In this episode of the Everyday Disciple Podcast, we’ll share Part 2 of seven simple yet important steps…
Read More and ListenFamily Discipleship and Mission Made Simple (Part 1)
Our Christian faith was always meant to be vibrant and lived like a family with others—not a once-a-week experience. Missional communities are a proven (biblical) way to engage people in normal rhythms of family discipleship and mission… believers and not-yet-believers alike. In this episode of the Everyday Disciple Podcast, we’ll share Part 1 of seven…

Read More and ListenAre You Believing What God Says About You?
Let’s be honest: the life you lead isn’t what you’ve always dreamt of. And maybe the person you’ve become isn’t who you’ve always imagined. God longs to redeem the story of your life and set you on the path to reclaiming your dreams… His dreams. Are you ready? In this episode of the Everyday Disciple…
Read More and ListenDealing With Limiting Beliefs About Discipleship And Mission
As 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…

Read More and ListenHow to Share Your Faith Without Being Weird
If you’re like most people I know, you probably don’t share your faith all that often. It can feel creepy or just plain awkward, and there’s always that fear of rejection.

Read More and ListenHow to Stop Taking Everything Personally
When you feel like someone has disrespected you, it’s easy to take their behavior personally, blame yourself, and think it reflects on your value.

When we talk about how mature our church is, we often think about age, structures, and programs. But the church is none of those; the Church is people. Are your people mature?
