Everyday Disciple Podcast

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, Caesar gets honest about the startling gap between what we call discipleship and what Jesus actually meant. What's blocking it, why it's so rare, and what it really looks like to live as a disciple who makes disciples. Not just a better church member. An actual disciple.

In This Episode You’ll Learn:

Why we're probably not even talking about the same thing when we say "discipleship"

A practical definition of discipleship that finally makes sense

Why discipleship matters just as much for not-yet believers as for Christians

7 roadblocks keeping you, your pastor, and your church from true discipleship

From this episode:

"The way many leaders approach maturity is to assume that knowledge produces maturity. But knowledge in and of itself is not a hallmark of Christian maturity. As Paul says, knowledge puffs up. Love builds up."

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 Disciple Podcast, we're going to get honest about what a life of comfortable faith actually costs — and what it's costing the people around you. This isn't guilt. It's an invitation. Jesus called us to a mission, and that mission was never guaranteed to be easy.

In This Episode You’ll Learn: 

7 signs your faith has slipped into comfortable and complacent

The areas of life where comfort quietly crowds out mission

What the Gospel actually says about comfort and risk

How to take your next honest step toward a missional life



Get started here...



From this episode:

"If we want a comfortable faith, we best not give ourselves to Jesus Christ. Seeking a life of comfort is missing the point. Seeking Jesus and his glory in all of life — that's the goal."

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 episode of the Everyday Disciple Podcast, we're going to dig into how to discover your God-given strengths — and honestly face the blind spots that could trip you up. This isn't a personality quiz detour. It's an invitation to know yourself the way God already knows you.

In This Episode You’ll Learn:

Why knowing your strengths is an act of worship, not pride

The dangerous blind spots that quietly take people down

A practical self-assessment process guided by the Holy Spirit

How your superpower is meant for God's glory, not just your resume



Get started here...



From this episode:

"Start with some honest self-assessment. Pray and ask the Holy Spirit to identify any areas of your life and character that he would have you be more aware of. Write these down and pray over them for three days."

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 Everyday Disciple Podcast, Caesar breaks down the startling case for asynchronous and online discipleship — and why some of the most powerful disciple-making happening today is taking place outside the walls of any building. Plus: practical ideas for using hybrid and digital methods to release more people into leadership than ever before.

In This Episode You’ll Learn: 

Why online gatherings are not a "forsaking of the gathering of the saints"

How God has always given us new ways to build relationships and stay connected

The difference between synchronous, asynchronous, and hybrid discipleship — and why all three matter

How digital methods can actually release more people into leadership

From this episode:

"I know there is some fear or pushback from certain people... It turns out that there are actually some pretty startling advantages to all of this."

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 of fine spirits. Some of you will LOVE this… some will be freaked out!

In This Episode You’ll Learn: 

A little about the environment that Jesus discipled in. (Hint: it was never a classroom.)

Why it’s vital to disciple and model the gospel in normal rhythms of life.

Caesar and Heath’s personal experience and model for doing “Cigars & Theology” as a part of their community life and discipleship.

Alternatives that may work better in your church and context.



Get started here...



From this episode:

“The Good News is just as good (and sometimes better) experienced with a cold beverage and friends. Don’t think that God somehow looks down on your efforts of discipleship if they are not done in a church building. Your old school board members may, but God does not. Jesus went into all the places participating in the customs that the people he loved did. You can too... it’s okay.”
