Everyday Disciple Podcast

Most of us carry a definition of justice we picked up somewhere along the way — and it usually looks like payback. Someone wrongs you, someone wrongs others, and justice means they get what's coming to them. But what if that version of justice has almost nothing to do with what God actually means by the word? In this episode of the Everyday Disciple Podcast, we're going to dig into what the Bible actually means by mercy and justice — and why they're not opposites. You'll discover how God's justice is really about restoration, and what it looks like to participate in that restorative work in the lives of people around you. In This Episode You’ll Learn: The biblical definitions of mercy and justice that will change how you see both
What actually produces a love of mercy in your own heart
How God's restorative justice is bigger than any weekend service project
Where to start engaging real injustice — locally and globally

Get started here... From this episode: "Justice is really about restoration. Getting even or punishing people for their screw-ups is going in the wrong direction. It's working against God's purposes. God is not interested in getting even; he wants people to see who they really are — who they were meant to be. How they should live. For things to be made right, restored."Each week the Big 3 will give you immediate action steps to get you started.Download today’s BIG 3 right now. Read and think over them again later.

Gossip is everywhere — in our friendships, our workplaces, even our churches. We've all been on both ends of it. And most of us have drifted into it without realizing until after. It's so normal it barely registers anymore. But it's doing real damage to the people around us and to us. In this episode of the Everyday Disciple Podcast, we're going to unpack what gossip actually is — and the definition will probably surprise you. You'll discover why it's genuinely dangerous, how to recognize it in the moment, and three ways to crush it before it spreads. This one could change how you listen to every conversation. In This Episode You’ll Learn:A definition of gossip that instantly changes how you hear conversations
Seven real reasons gossip is more destructive than you've been told
Three practical moves to crush gossip before it takes hold
How sticking up for the absent person builds surprising, lasting trust

Get started here... From this episode: "Gossip is speaking to someone who is neither directly part of the problem or the solution in a situation, concerning another person who is not present.

Most of us grew up with a gospel that was mainly about the afterlife. Avoid hell. Get to heaven. Manage sin in the meantime. But quietly, you start to wonder — is this it? Is this all Jesus came to give us? It's a fair question, and the answer might surprise you. In this episode of the Everyday Disciple Podcast, we're going to unpack what it looks like to live with a bigger gospel — one that has something real to say about your marriage, your money, your identity, and your Tuesday afternoon. We call this Gospel Fluency. And it changes everything. In This Episode You’ll Learn: Why the gospel is good news for right now — not just the afterlife
A simple 4-question process for applying the gospel to any situation
How what you believe about God shapes how you see yourself
What it looks like when discipleship becomes naturally good news

Get started here... From this episode: "When you have a bigger gospel you'll develop the confidence and grace to speak the truth in love — first to yourself — and then with others in a way that is truly good news. Evangelism will no longer be a weird or stressful sales pitch and your discipleship with others will be supercharged with good news."Each week the Big 3 will give you immediate action steps to get you started.Download today’s BIG 3 right now.

Most of us hit a point where life got full and learning got quiet. We stopped reading, stopped asking questions, stopped sitting across from people who could actually sharpen us. We tell ourselves we're too busy — but the truth is, we just haven't made the decision to keep growing. In this episode of the Everyday Disciple Podcast, we're going to talk about what it actually looks like to build a lifelong learning practice — and why this one posture changes everything: your marriage, your parenting, your faith, your work, and the kind of person people see you becoming. In This Episode You’ll Learn:Why the posture of a learner changes everything else in your life
How to find and meet with people who are ahead of you in the areas that matter
A simple system for building a year-round reading list that actually gets read
The one decision that puts all of this in motion — and how to make it stick

Get started here... From this episode: "Becoming or maintaining the posture of a lifelong learner definitely takes intentionality. But now you have a process for getting started and keeping this going year-to-year. The benefits to your marriage, ministry, family, and overall character will be powerful — and noticed by those around you."Each week the Big 3 will give you immediate action steps to get you started.Download today’s BIG 3 right now.

Most of us in the church have heard the message, even if no one said it out loud: get married, have a family, and you'll be complete. We've built so many of our rhythms and language around marriage as the destination that singleness has quietly become a waiting room. In this episode of the Everyday Disciple Podcast, we're going to look at how the church's narratives about marriage and singleness have limited us — and what it looks like to find real wholeness and identity in Christ, whether you have a ring on your finger or not. In This Episode You’ll Learn: What the Bible actually says about marriage — and what it doesn't
Why singleness in the church gets treated like a problem to fix
How our language about marriage unintentionally excludes and diminishes
What it means to be complete in Christ regardless of relationship status

Get started here... From this episode: "Many of the church's narratives have limited our understanding of marriage and obscured our view of the life-giving and kingdom-serving roles of single people. Jesus was single his entire life and is the most whole, complete picture of both human-ness and who God is."Each week the Big 3 will give you immediate action steps to get you started.Download today’s BIG 3 right now.
