By now you’re probably figuring out that the Coronavirus pandemic and related social distancing has produced more of a disruption than just a temporary interruption for your Church.
In this episode of the Everyday Disciple Podcast, Caesar talks with church strategist and disciple-maker, Rob Wegner, about some positive (and not-so-positive) trends that are emerging in the new realities of the future church.
The way we gather as the Church has been forever changed by the COVID-19 pandemic. Our once rock-solid pattern of meeting all together on Sundays has been fractured, and statistics show that as much as 30% of people are not returning to our weekend gatherings.
In this episode of the Everyday Disciple Podcast, Caesar talks about the need for the Church to start creating new, outward-focused “predictable patterns” that everyone can start in their own families right at home.
Often we let others’ sin define them and divide us. But our ongoing involvement and relationship with others, especially those we think of as “sinners”, begins with a profound grasp of God’s grace.
In this episode of the Everyday Disciple Podcast, we’ll see why Jesus came to be called a friend of sinners. And I’ll share the journey we’ve been on to earn that same moniker for ourselves as we make disciples where we live.
Our lives are wrapped up in stories; they are the language of our world. Who we believe ourselves to be is shaped by the dominant story in our lives, and what we believe about God and what he is like will ultimately determine what we believe about ourselves and how life works.
In this episode of the Everyday Disciple Podcast, I’ll share why learning, embracing, and teaching the Story of God found throughout the Bible is a key component in discipleship. You’ll learn how we teach the Story in community and the transformation that it brings.
Everything that has happened in the past several months, especially social distancing restrictions, has scattered the Church back out into our neighborhoods and cities like never before. Is this a problem or an opportunity?
In this episode of the Everyday Disciple Podcast, we’ll talk through the “what, why, and how” of leading the scattered church on mission. Perhaps you’ve been placed in your position for such a time as this!
For far too long the primary message of the Church has focused on “How” someone can be saved. But the Gospel also tells us “Why” we’ve been saved. Understanding the Purpose of our salvation is critical for making disciples of Jesus who make more disciples.
In this episode of the Everyday Disciple Podcast, I continue with Part 2 of this short series on the “two lenses” of the Gospel: Power and Purpose. Most Christians have never been taught the Purpose of the Gospel…in other words, “why” God sent his Son to save us. This changes everything!
