Missional Community: Have You Really Tried It?
Many churches think they’ve tried starting “missional communities” before, but they failed. Or they've given 'micro-church' a try, and that didn't take off either. But actually… maybe they just exported religious activities!
This week on the Everyday Disciple Podcast, we look at the difference between talking a good missional game and truly living in a community that is radically focused on discipleship as a lifestyle.
In This Episode You’ll Learn:
One of the most common reasons that missional communities fail.
Why our best intentions at living on mission often turn into new “law”.
The difference between religion and the gospel of grace.
How to get the help to make authentic missional living a reality.
Get started here…
From this episode:
“Often folks that say they’ve tried to start missional communities actually only tried decentralized religious activities. They lay out a list of what folks are supposed to DO when they get together (all of this quickly becomes and feels like LAW), and they wonder why no one is that into it… and especially their not-yet believing friends who really want very little to do with these supposed new religious activities.”

Why Our Advice Rarely Helps
Christians can often get into a mindset where we think everything that is wrong or untrue needs to be addressed NOW! And so with the banner of “speaking the truth in love” flying high over our heads, we dive in with our unsolicited advice.
In this episode of the Everyday Disciple Podcast, Caesar explains why most people really don't want to hear our advice. We'll look at what motivates a lot of our advice-giving, and learn some best practices for when we do need to offer help and insights to others.
In This Episode You’ll Learn:
The 4 types of advice that we give to people.
Why we feel the need to quickly offer our advice to others.
How the gospel speaks into our motivations when giving advice.
Best practices so people will want to hear your advice.
Get started here…
From this episode:
“Do you give advice because you want to see a person’s pain stop and their situation improve? (Sounds good…) Or so that God will be more glorified in their life? Which, in turn, produces life in the Kingdom of God which is the best life we could ever live. Who and what is our focus makes all the difference in how we give advice and how it is perceived and received."

Tithing: Law, Grace, and Generosity
Christians are taught that we should be giving 10% of everything we earn to the church. Is the practice of tithing still in effect for us today, or is it time to reconsider this practice?
This week on the Everyday Disciple Podcast, we’ll look at the truth about tithing. Is it biblical? Are we under-giving or over-giving if we are tithing, and how might we give in light of the gospel?
In This Episode You’ll Learn:
The 3 types of tithes God mandated Israel to give in the Law.
How tithes and offerings were used in the Old Testament.
What Jesus taught about giving and how it reflects our hearts.
How the Gospel informs our giving and support of the Church today.
From this episode:
“Empowered by God working within us, we’re now called, like our Lord Jesus, to lay down our lives for others. This includes sacrificially giving of ourselves—our time, possessions, talents… our plans—out of love for God and for others.”

Discipleship Beyond the Topical Checklist
Wouldn’t it be great if Jesus had just left us his “5 Big Steps” or “3 Important Ingredients” for disciple-making? It would be so much simpler if discipleship in the real world was a little more spelled out and outlined into a few basics.
In this episode of the Everyday Disciple Podcast, we’re going to show you how discipleship looks less like one big thing or series of classes... and more like a million little things.
In This Episode You’ll Learn:
Why there will never be a perfect set of classes or “one big thing” that adds up to maturity in our churches.
How Romans 8:28 helps clarify what God is up to when it comes to our sanctification.
Why dependence on the works of the Holy Spirit is crucial in discipleship.
Why disciple-making was never meant to be the job of a few professionals.
Get started here...
From this episode:
“I think we’ve overcomplicated discipleship... and sort of dumbed it down to a set of learnings and head knowledge instead of an experience with others of how the gospel of Jesus speaks into and shapes a million little things that all add up to the life we were created to live: His life.”
