Mission for God and intimacy with God can often become disconnected and seem like competing priorities and passions. But what if you could cultivate a vibrant and authentic spirituality that doesn’t draw you away from your neighbors, but propels you into the lives of others and the needs of your city? 

In this episode of the Everyday Disciple Podcast, Caesar is joined by church planters Jeremy and Monica Chambers as they break down this divide in a way that helps you discover fresh joy in living as a Jesus-follower, and become more fruitful in your everyday mission. 

In This Episode You’ll Learn: 

• Why there seems to be a divide between deep spirituality and mission.

Is discipleship about gaining knowledge, or is it about a transformed life? Is it a series of classes or, like with Jesus and his pals, was it an all-of-life kind of a deal?

In this episode of the Everyday Disciple Podcast, we’re talking about true discipleship and looking at what a lifestyle of discipleship looks like when it is all woven into the normal rhythms of your everyday life in community.

In This Episode You’ll Learn:

• A working definition of discipleship that will reshape your thinking on this immediately
• How Jesus lived life with his disciples and what he then hoped/commanded them to do
• Why a series of 8-10 classes done in a classroom will never produce mature disciples
• Why an integrated lifestyle “apprenticeship” was Jesus’ model for us

The life of Jesus was and will always be counter-cultural. But often, it seems, we’re not ridiculed or rejected because we’re living such radically loving and selfless lives, it’s because we actually live so little like Jesus.

In this episode, Caesar looks at 5 dumb things that Christians need to stop doing that are affecting our witness and our discipleship efforts. And he gives a little of the gospel “thing behind the thing” with each of these issues.

In This Episode You’ll Learn:

• Why we need to be careful with what we say online.
• How even our most loving actions can be misunderstood.
• The things that Jesus got angry about (are you?).
• How the way we handle conflict reflects our faith.

Ministry and discipleship cannot merely be a series of events on the calendar. If all we have are organized events, then what we offer people is a program. But, if all we do in our disciple-making is organic and rarely organized or predictable, it is hard for people to know what it is we’re asking them to commit to.

This week on the Everyday Disciple Podcast, Caesar speaks with master disciple-maker, Gino Curcuruto, on how the rhythms of a community on mission very much mirror life as a family. We need both organized and organic rhythms. We’ll show you how to find and create a balance between them.

In This Episode You’ll Learn:

• Discipleship should not be a program we offer others.
• How to help people understand what we are asking them to commit to.
• The need for both organized and organic rhythms in community.
• How predictable patterns naturally lead to life-on-life together.

In This Episode You’ll Learn: 

• Diversity is not just about skin color or race.
• God has a diverse family–and not just on Sunday!
• Why the restoration of relationships is key to diversity in the Church.
• Steps to living a more diverse cultural experience together.
