Believing this leads us to peace in relationships, peace with ourselves, and peace with God. In This Episode You’ll Learn: The second of four eternal truths about God that transforms us. (The 4 G's) The ways that the "fear of man" may be ruining your life and relationships. How Jesus came to bring peace to all of mankind and the world. How to find the unbelief and actions that are keeping you from having peace. https://everydaydisciple.com/subscribe (Get started here…) https://everydaydisciple.com/subscribe () From this episode: "Think about what your fears and the need for other’s approval have produced in your heart and life… comparisons to others, avoiding any or all confrontations or deeper conversations, susceptibility to peer pressure or the need to always be liked by everyone. Do you enjoy living this way? The answer to the fear of man in our lives is a bigger understanding of the fear of God and his true glory. For those who trust Jesus, the fear of God no longer involves terror, he’s our Father and we come before him with confidence through Christ."

I have to choose between a fantasy in which I am sovereign and the real world in which God is sovereign. I have to choose between my false sovereignty and God’s real sovereignty. And you know what?

Connecting With God in Everyday Life

Guests never do any work or preparation; family members always pitch in. We try and impress guests with our hospitality; family members expect to be “part of the flow” and help themselves to whatever they need. Are you treating people like guests or like family? In this episode of the Everyday Disciple Podcast, we ask the question: do the people coming to your church service each week, and the folks coming to your home, feel more like guests or like part of the family? Caesar is joined by his wife Tina to share how and why we can help everyone feel like true brothers and sisters. In This Episode You’ll Learn: The difference between treating people like guests rather than part of the family. Why treating everyone like family is a picture of the Gospel. What people really need… and it’s NOT your perfectly clean house. How your Sunday church services can help people feel like family rather than visitors or guests. How our language reveals our true heart and intentions in all of this. https://everydaydisciple.com/subscribe (Get started here…) https://everydaydisciple.com/subscribe () From this episode: "Helping others feel like part of a family, rather than guests to a program, is the key to really experiencing the gospel in action. Whether at home or at a church service, it is important to remember: these people are your brothers and sisters. Do they feel like they are at home and are needed?"

Treating Everyone Like Part of the Family

Political talk is everywhere right now — it’s on the news and all over social media, it’s happening between friends and family, and it’s most likely happening at your kitchen table too. I wonder... what are your kids hearing? In this episode of the Everyday Disciple Podcast, Caesar shares insights on how to talk politics with your children, giving them the tools and gospel-perspective to make wise political choices throughout their lives.

For most of us, the idea of our kids switching from blue to red, or vice versa, is pretty scary and maybe unacceptable.

How To Talk About Politics With Your Kids

Outside the Western world, the Church is experiencing its greatest growth in history by gathering and multiplying small groups of people, numbering 10 or less. Is this the way forward for us too? In this episode of the Everyday Disciple Podcast, Caesar talks with author and modern-day apostle, Hugh Halter, about the need to re-envision why and how our church small groups gather together on mission.

The way we gather as the Church has been forever changed by the Covid-19 pandemic. Our once rock-solid pattern of meeting all together on Sundays has been fractured and statistics show that as much as 30% of people are not returning to our weekend gatherings. In this episode of the Everyday Disciple Podcast, Caesar talks about the need for the Church to start creating new, outward-focused "predictable patterns" that everyone can start in their own families right at home. In This Episode You’ll Learn: How the change in our gathering patterns may be a blessing in disguise. Why new predictable patterns can and must start in our homes. How you could double the size of your church this week. Seriously! 5 steps that you can initiate in your family and church-wide right now.

Begin at the beginning in your own lives. Trying to organize others into a series of activities, events or rhythms that you and those closest to you are not already living will produce unnecessary stress and set you up for failure. This is especially important for pastors and leaders. Live as a family worth joining and imitating, and start making space in your schedule (and hearts) for others to join you."

How to Start Shifting Your Church Outward

There was a time when Christians and the Church pioneered much of the future, shaping culture in profound ways, from business to art to justice reform. But along the way, that redemptive, adaptive movement began to institutionalize, leaving us change-averse and frozen in time. In this episode of the Everyday Disciple Podcast, Caesar welcomes innovation strategist and author, Doug Paul, who uses surprising stories and cultural analysis to help explain five phases of Kingdom innovation and how leaders in the Church today can start leading change and innovation. In This Episode You’ll Learn: What true innovation is and who are the best innovators. Why most leaders haven't really innovated their churches during the pandemic. 5 (easy to grasp) phases of innovation. How to get the training and tools you need to begin to lead change. (https://everydaydisciple.com/subscribe) (https://everydaydisciple.com/subscribe) From this episode: "Innovation is a skill and it’s a muscle you can grow. You can learn how to do innovation. You weren’t born to have it or not have it, and even people who think they're naturally good at it have a lot to learn. Fundamentally, in the world in which we now live, the Christian leader missing the skill of innovation is like a carpenter missing a hammer. It’s not the only skill in the toolbelt, but not having it moving into the future, will be indefensible."

Our Need For Innovation in the Church Today

Often we let others' sin define them and divide us. But our ongoing involvement and relationship with others, especially those we think of as "sinners", begins with a profound grasp of God’s grace. In this episode of the Everyday Disciple Podcast, we'll see why Jesus came to be called a friend of sinners. And I'll share the journey we've been on to earn that same moniker for ourselves as we make disciples where we live. In This Episode You’ll Learn: The #1 thing we have in common with everyone else in life. How to know if you're a "clean" sinner or a "dirty" sinner. Why Jesus' hung out with the outsiders and why we want to as well. How I came to be known as the Pub Pastor. (https://everydaydisciple.com/subscribe) (https://everydaydisciple.com/subscribe) From this episode: "Christians will cite John 15:14 ('You are my friends if you do what I command.') as their justification for not wanting to hang out with those they see as "sinners". What a horrible example of proof-texting! The entire passage there has Jesus explaining how he loved his disciples and chose them while they were still jacked up and far from God. Can you imagine a parent saying that to their kids? 'You are only my child when you obey me. Otherwise I don’t love you.' What? That would be crazy. That is the exact opposite of the heart of our Father and his son Jesus."

Living As a Friend Of Sinners

How you feel, pretty much in every moment, is connected to how you believe things are going relative to your sense of self. It is out of our identity, and perception of self, that our motives and actions flow. The Gospel answers our fallen self-obsession with a great work of grace in Christ. In this episode of the Everyday Disciple Podcast, we'll examine what drives our pride and continual self-focus, and how the Gospel leads us to freedom and relational peace. In This Episode You’ll Learn: How your understanding of God's stance against pride may be wrong. Why we spend so much time focused on self and what others think. Why thinking less of yourself is not the answer to pride. How the Gospel leads us to focus more on Jesus and less on ourselves. (https://everydaydisciple.com/subscribe) (https://everydaydisciple.com/subscribe) From this episode: "The remedy for our preoccupation with self is a greater and growing focus and preoccupation with Jesus and his perfection. Not our DO to BE list of accomplishments, not focusing on our failures, not working hard to see others as 'more' and ourselves as less. And not just trying harder to be a good person or a good Christian. No… it’s rightly seeing God for who he is, in connection to ourselves."

Fighting Our Preoccupation With Self

Our lives are wrapped up in stories; they are the language of our world. Who we believe ourselves to be is shaped by the dominant story in our lives, and what we believe about God and what he is like will ultimately determine what we believe about ourselves and how life works. In this episode of the Everyday Disciple Podcast, I share why learning, embracing, and teaching the Story of God found throughout the Bible is a key component in discipleship. You'll learn how we teach the Story in community and the transformation that it brings. In This Episode You’ll Learn: How stories powerfully shape our lives and worldview. Why the Bible stories you may have been taught as a kid were wrong. Ways we've used narrative and dialogical story-telling in our discipleship. Where to get free Story of God resources and training. (https://everydaydisciple.com/subscribe) (https://everydaydisciple.com/subscribe) From this episode: "It is one thing to know a lot about God and the Bible; it is another to understand and experience his loving pursuit as seen throughout all of Scripture. Sharing the good news about Jesus and his kingdom through the lens of facts and topics can become cold and clinical. But there is nothing more moving than having the ability to easily and naturally share the Story of God. It is the most transforming thing we can give ourselves to, and it is the one thing that I have seen consistently move people from unbelief to belief and grow their trust in God."

Why You Need More Storytelling In Your Discipleship

Many people who avoid the Church have not rejected Jesus and the Good News of the Gospel; they've actually, rightfully so, shunned religion. And they've dismissed a transactional way of relating to God and an effort to somehow balance out the cosmic scales of his justice. In this episode of the Everyday Disciple Podcast, we look at the beautiful and liberating difference between the Gospel vs. religion. Christianity and the true Gospel tells us that God himself, in the person of Jesus, has already done for us all the things we never could have done for ourselves. And that is Good News! In This Episode You’ll Learn: How the New Testament warns us about religion. Why the Gospel is not advice telling you what you should or shouldn’t do in life. The difference between the Gospel and Religion in several key areas of our lives. How to spot where you might be living under the heavy yoke of religion. (https://everydaydisciple.com/subscribe) (https://everydaydisciple.com/subscribe) From this episode: "If you still feel that you have to work hard to please God and get things from him, you are laboring under religion, which is not Good News. There is no grand, cosmic scale that God uses to keep track of your good deeds and church attendance. In Christ, you are a beloved son or daughter of the King of Kings and have full authority and privilege within God’s perfect love. Nothing to earn or prove, the pressure is off!"

The Beauty of the Gospel vs. Religion

You've heard about it, and it's not going away anytime soon. The "cancel culture" can hit anyone at any time–even you–if you've ever said or done something that a very vocal group of people disagree with. Unfortunately, the Church is not immune to this type of "canceling" of our own. In this episode of the Everyday Disciple Podcast, we'll take a look at how God deals with messed up people and disagreements. Did he cancel the reputation and livelihood of some of history’s most famous sinners? We'll hear some Good News for all of this, and I'll give you 5 Rules for combating the cancel culture in your life today. In This Episode You’ll Learn: What the 'cancel culture' is, and how to know if you've been "canceled". Ways you may have canceled people in your life and not known it. How the Good News of the Gospel speaks to and cancels the 'cancel culture'. 5 Rules for combating the cancel culture in your life today. (https://everydaydisciple.com/subscribe) (https://everydaydisciple.com/subscribe) From this episode: "Some Christians are quick to point to Matthew 18 and the words found here about dealing with a brother or sister who sins and refuses to listen. We are told to treat them as an outsider, an unbeliever… a pagan. Ok. How are we to treat unbelievers? With grace and compassion and patience, showing them perfect love and kindness that casts out fear and control and leads to repentance... Which is a renewing of the mind, a new belief."

Good News For the Cancel Culture

Have you found it hard–really hard–to move people toward embracing change lately? Are you finding it frustrating to motivate folks to reorient their lives around discipleship, serving others, and missional living... versus a consumeristic experience of the church? In this episode of the Everyday Disciple Podcast, we'll tell you why the way you've learned to motivate people produces polarizing results. And we'll give you ways to initiate lasting change through more gospel-centered motivations. In This Episode You’ll Learn: Why the old ways of "carrot and stick" ultimately fail to motivate people. How the “DO=BE” distortion is in full effect in all of this. The difference between the Legalist and the Gospel when motivating others. How what we believe, love, and fear changes everything. (https://everydaydisciple.com/subscribe) (https://everydaydisciple.com/subscribe) From this episode: "All of these ways of trying to motivate others to do something new or accept a new way of being and living, all appeal to the same thing: Self. What’s in it for me? In other words, the person you are trying to motivate is internally, subconsciously, asking themselves, with each of these types of 'motivators', what’s in it for me? Will I gain authority or popularity, wealth, will I be seen as 'more'... how will this add to my sense of value and self-worth... in my own eyes, and the perception that others have of me." Each week the Big 3 will give you immediate action steps to get you started.Facebook (http://everydaydisciple.com/facebook) and take part in the discussion!
