Fighting Our Preoccupation With Self

How you feel, pretty much in every moment, is connected to how you believe things are going relative to your sense of self. It is out of our identity, and perception of self, that our motives and actions flow. The Gospel answers our fallen self-obsession with a great work of grace in Christ. 

In this episode of the Everyday Disciple Podcast, we’ll examine what drives our pride and continual self-focus, and how the Gospel leads us to freedom and relational peace.

In This Episode You’ll Learn:

  • How your understanding of God’s stance against pride may be wrong.
  • Why we spend so much time focused on self and what others think.
  • Why thinking less of yourself is not the answer to pride.
  • How the Gospel leads us to focus more on Jesus and less on ourselves.

Ask Caesar #2

A few weeks ago I tried something new here, and it seemed that you all liked it and benefitted from it, so today I thought I’d try it again and answer a couple more of your questions in another segment of “Ask Caesar”.

Let’s get started… our friend Terry asks, “How do you lead complacent Christians to actually want to live on mission and make disciples? I struggle with that!”

No kidding, right Terry?!

They’re Ready for Mission… Are You Ready to Lead Them?

So often, conversations about becoming a ‘missional church’ focus on the pushback or resistance we might face. But what if the people in your church are already convinced? What if they believe that discipleship really can become a way of life—and they just need some help getting started? 

This week on the Everyday Disciple Podcast, I’ll walk you through the very first steps I’d take to lead a church toward missional living. These are things you can absolutely begin doing right now—and your people will love them.

If you’ve got buy-in… even from just a few… this is your moment.

In This Episode You’ll Learn:

  • Why leading motivated people requires a different kind of leadership.
  • How uncovering fear and preferences opens the door to lasting change.
  • The very first step I’d take to move your church toward mission.
  • 3 more practical ideas to help you lead with confidence and clarity.

Stop Wasting Your Most Valuable Opportunity For Discipleship With Your Kids

Everyone I know feels maxed out on their schedules and with the commitments they already have. Yet we are all living with a rhythm that provides one of the most valuable and reoccurring opportunities for discipleship in our families: Family dinner.

Let me show you some things that Team K (my family) and I have learned. [Click Here to get my Leading Your Family & Community on Mission eGuide to help you get started.]

Sharing Your Faith Doesn’t Have to Be Awkward

Let’s be honest—most of us don’t share our faith all that often. It can feel awkward… or even a little cringy. Maybe you’re afraid of rejection or just not sure how to bring it up without sounding weird or preachy.

In this episode, we’ll show you a way to share your faith that actually sounds like good news—and feels like good news to others too. This doesn’t require a script or special training… just a shift in how you see people and what you believe about God’s love for them (and for you).

You’ll see how talking about spiritual things can become a natural part of your everyday conversations.

In This Episode You’ll Learn:

  • The one thing we all share that makes this easier than you think
  • Why resting in God’s love for you is the best starting place
  • How to flip the script on religious conversations
  • A simple way to show people the Gospel without “preaching”
