Courage, Compassion, and Difficult People

Intense but thoughtful conversation between three adults, highlighting empathy and wisdom in dealing with difficult situations.

Some people just drain you. You’ve tried avoiding them, reasoning with them, even killing them with kindness—nothing sticks. If you’re being honest, you’re either walking on eggshells or keeping your distance. There’s a better way, and it starts with understanding what’s actually going on. In this episode of the Everyday Disciple Podcast, we’re going to…

Sowing & Reaping the “Harvest” Jesus Talked About

Friends talking over drinks at a patio table, representing natural conversations that lead to spiritual growth and impact.

Unless seeds are planted, watered, and given enough time for growth, there is little expectation of a harvest. That’s how farming works. And it turns out — it works similarly with people and their faith. But what if most of us have been measuring the harvest by the wrong metric this whole time? In this…

The Fearless Truth About Spiritual Conversations

Two men engaged in conversation on a sunny day, symbolizing approachable and authentic spiritual dialogue.

Most of us have been taught that sharing our faith means finding the right moment to slip in a little “Jesus talk.” We’ve got techniques, bridge illustrations, transition phrases. But honestly? They feel like a sales pitch. And if it feels like a sales pitch to you, imagine how it feels to the person on…

Reclaim the Passion in Your Marriage

After years of marriage, the passion in a relationship can quietly fade into the routine of everyday life. Not because love is gone — but because pursuit has stopped. Romance doesn’t disappear all at once. It just gets squeezed out by schedules, fatigue, and the assumption that she knows you love her. In this episode…

Surrender the Busyness. Reclaim Your Mission.

A man places plastic chairs in a row on dry land near a riverbank, symbolizing preparation and purpose.

The church has been run in much the same way for decades — programs, services, buildings, conferences. And yet most of us who lead in these systems know something is off. The busyness is real, the exhaustion is real, and quietly underneath all of it is the nagging question: is any of this actually working?…

The Startling Truth About Disciple-Making

Four adults share conversation over coffee at a café table with a Bible present, representing community and discipleship.

Discipleship remains one of the most talked-about topics in the church — and one of the least practiced. We hold conferences, preach sermon series, launch programs. But most followers of Jesus still have no idea how to make a disciple. Something is deeply wrong with that picture. In this episode of the Everyday Disciple Podcast,…

Is Your Comfort Zone Costing Your Soul?

A man rests in a bed with soft pillows and closed eyes, representing physical comfort.

Most of us have arranged our lives to be as comfortable as possible. And it makes sense — we’re tired, we’re busy, and comfort feels like wisdom. But somewhere under all that comfort is a nagging feeling that Jesus might have had something very different in mind for us. In this episode of the Everyday…

Blind Spots, Superpowers, and What God Sees

A woman studies her reflection while taking notes in a journal, suggesting self-reflection and awareness.

Most of us have a vague sense that we’re good at some things and bad at others — but we never slow down long enough to figure out what that actually means. We either ignore our strengths out of false humility, or we get blindsided by weaknesses we never saw coming. Sound familiar? In this…

Asynchronous Discipleship: The Future Is Already Here

Most of us grew up with one assumption baked into discipleship: real community means being in the same room. Online connection was a backup plan — a compromise when you couldn’t do it the right way. But what if that assumption is costing us the very relationships we’re supposed to be building?  In this episode of the…

Cigars, Theology & Discipleship

Men gathered around a backyard fire pit smoking cigars and talking about faith.

To disciple someone in all aspects of life requires a deliberate level of intentionality. It is essential to engage in everyday activities together and integrate discipleship and training into these ordinary moments. This week on the Everyday Disciple Podcast, we talk about a form of discipleship that includes cigars, fireplaces, and maybe an occasional glass…
