I grew up going to church Sunday after Sunday. Discipleship, if and when it happened, was a series of classes or a 9-week curriculum that we went through. The problem with that was… it didn’t really work.

In this episode of the Everyday Disciple Podcast, we’ll share Part 2 of seven simple yet important steps to living a lifestyle of discipleship where the gospel speaks good news into and shapes every area of life. Discipleship was always meant to happen with others in community.

What’s keeping you and your people from moving beyond a weekend-to-weekend spirituality into a lifestyle of discipleship and mission with family, friends, and other amazing folks God has brought into your life? Let’s get started.

In This Episode You’ll Learn:

• How to identify who is “leaning in” to relationship and a possible faith journey with you.
• How to begin to have simple, daily conversations with the Holy Spirit connected to your discipleship and leading others to faith.

Our Christian faith was always meant to be lived vibrantly, like a family—not just a once-a-week event. ‘Missional Communities’ are a proven (biblical) way to engage people in everyday rhythms of family discipleship and mission, reaching both believers and those not yet following Jesus.

In this episode of the Everyday Disciple Podcast, we dive into Part 1 of seven simple steps to help you lead your people toward a “faith in practice,” where family life naturally extends outward to include others in mission.

These steps may seem simple or even obvious, but they work—and they’re just the beginning. Apply them, and there’s no limit to how far they can take you.

In This Episode You’ll Learn:

• What keeps a lot of churches and small groups stuck in a “me-focused” mode.
• The difference between a weekly small group and a true “family on mission”.
• Why understanding and embracing a bigger gospel is at the center of a missional life.
• The first three of seven proven steps to make family discipleship and mission simple.
• How to get help to start on all of this right away.

Living as a family on mission in community with others is a big shift—and a big commitment. It gets even trickier when you’re trying to start or transition a small group that originally formed for reasons other than discipleship and mission.

This week on the Everyday Disciple Podcast, we’re asking the honest question: Why is missional living so hard? We’ll unpack some of the common challenges and give you practical tips, hope, and encouragement for when things feel tough.

Sure, it might feel hard at first… (because it is!). But once you’ve experienced the beauty of gospel-centered community—living like a true spiritual family—there’s no going back to simply checking the church box on Sundays.

In This Episode You’ll Learn:

• The key differences between a traditional small group and a true missional community
• How time, schedules, personal preferences, and priorities shape our ability to live this out
• Why it’s crucial for married couples to be aligned in mission
• What a sustainable, healthy pace looks like for long-term community life
