We all know we could be more generous — but for most of us, that just means dropping something in the offering plate or tipping a little extra. Meanwhile, we grip tightly to everything else God’s given us. What if real generosity isn’t really about money at all, but about how loosely we hold everything we’ve been blessed with?

In this episode of the Everyday Disciple Podcast, we’re going to talk with author Marty Duren about living with open hands in every area of life. You’ll discover why the “stuff god,” called mammon, has more grip on us than we realize. And how the gospel frees us to become the most outrageously generous people on the planet.

In This Episode You’ll Learn: 

• Why generosity connected only to money falls way short of the truth
• The “stuff god” that secretly competes for your worship
• How the gospel is actually a picture of radical generosity
• Practical ways to start living less selfishly today

The world tells us to perform our way to value—work harder, serve more, achieve better. We chase approval from family, friends, bosses, even our churches. But this exhausting cycle of performance misses something crucial: who God says you already are. What if your identity isn’t something you earn, but something you’ve already been given?

In this episode of the Everyday Disciple Podcast, we’re going to challenge the lie that you have to earn your worth. The truth is, if you’re a Christian, you’ve been completely transformed and given a new identity—one that comes with shocking authority and privilege as a co-heir with Jesus himself. When you start living from your true identity instead of trying to create one through performance, everything changes.

In This Episode You’ll Learn:

• A surprising truth about you contained in Matthew 28
• What it really means to be created in God’s image
• The authority and privilege you now possess as a Christian
• Why the world’s way of earning value will always leave you empty

• The real reason you’re putting off that apology
• What the gospel teaches us about confession and restoration
• The three essential components of a genuine apology
• Four deadly phrases that undermine your sincerity

We’ve learned from scripture to use male pronouns when we talk about God. He’s our Father. But what if there’s a richness to God’s nature that we’ve been missing because we’ve only been looking at half the picture?

In this episode of the Everyday Disciple Podcast, we’re exploring the feminine aspects of God’s divine nature—something that’s been right there in the Bible all along. We’ll look at how both masculinity and femininity reveal different facets of God’s character, how the Holy Spirit is presented as feminine throughout Scripture, and even how Jesus used mothering language to describe his love for people.

In This Episode You’ll Learn:

• How both masculinity and femininity give us a fuller sense of what God is truly like
• Why God is simultaneously above gender while embracing all of it in his nature
• How the Holy Spirit is presented as feminine in nature throughout Scripture
• How recognizing God’s feminine nature changes the way you pray, worship, and love others
