Most of us think of baptism as a one-time event — something that happened to us, not something we actually live from. But there’s another baptism happening constantly, one almost none of us notice. The culture around us is forming our identity every single day — shaping what we believe about our worth, our value, and what we’re for.

In this episode of the Everyday Disciple Podcast, we’re going to talk with author and pastor Eric Peterson about the staggering power of Christian baptism — what it was really declaring over your life, and how living from that identity changes everything about how you show up every single day.

In This Episode You’ll Learn: 

• How culture is constantly “baptizing” us into a DO=BE identity – exhausting us
• Why Christian baptism is a declaration about who you already are
• How the Church has lost the full power and significance of what baptism is about
• A simple daily practice to help you live from your trinitarian identity

Most of us want our families to matter. We want our kids to grow up with faith that actually sticks, and we want our home to be the kind of place people want to be. But somewhere between good intentions and real life, it never quite comes together the way we hoped.

In this episode of the Everyday Disciple Podcast, we’re going to show you how your family’s everyday rhythms — meals, walks, projects, conversations — can become the most natural discipleship environment you’ve ever seen. Not a program. Not a project. Just a family living in a way that others actually want to join.

In This Episode You’ll Learn:

• Why gospel identity is the only foundation for a family on mission
• How to know if your family is living a life others would genuinely want to join
• Simple rhythms you can start this week that open your home to real discipleship
• Why the goal isn’t to do MORE — it’s to invite people into what you’re already doing

Some people just drain you. You’ve tried avoiding them, reasoning with them, even killing them with kindness—nothing sticks. If you’re being honest, you’re either walking on eggshells or keeping your distance. There’s a better way, and it starts with understanding what’s actually going on.

In this episode of the Everyday Disciple Podcast, we’re going to break down the four types of difficult people, the “thing behind the thing” driving each one, and how the gospel gives you something better than tolerance or avoidance—a path toward real connection, even with the hardest people in your life.

In This Episode You’ll Learn: 

• The four types of difficult people and what’s actually driving their behavior
• Why difficult people present one of the clearest gospel opportunities in your life
• How to understand “the thing behind the thing” so you stop reacting and start responding
• Why you might be on someone else’s “difficult person” list — and what to do about it
