Discipleship and Mission Made Simple

6 Gospel Keys to Praying Like Jesus

Prayer was always meant to be a conversation with our heavenly Father, our Daddy. If your prayers are cold, formal, self-focused or rare, then seeing prayer as a time you get to talk with Dad will draw you to the source of all life and love.

This week on the Everyday Disciple Podcast, we’ll show you how Jesus’ model for prayer leads us to pray the Good News of the gospel over every area of life. Prayer is all about experiencing the gospel in relationship with our Father!

In This Episode You’ll Learn:

  • Why Jesus always saw prayer with our Father as a relational practice.
  • The 6 movements or “petitions” of the Lord’s Prayer.
  • Specific (HUGE) gospel connections to each of these 6 movements.
  • How to pray the gospel for all of life and in any situation.

Why Missional Community Will Never Work in Your Context

In this installment of “Ask Caesar” I answer the question of why a missional community will fail in your context. It’s a question I get asked A LOT, one that is most often put to me, though, as an objection. It usually sounds something like this…

“I think that missional community life probably works great where you live, but you don’t understand my context. People are different here… they’ll never have you into their homes, or come over to your place. Folks are just too busy or not open to relationship like this in our city.”  (more…)

The Consistency of How God Now Sees You

We all experience hard times, relational strife or loss and fear. And it can lead to deep depression and self-doubt. However, there is always one thing present in those times that we can easily forget: the consistency of God.


I travel a lot for ministry and work, and I have for years. A while ago I was on a flight that scared me a little. Not long after take-off we flew up through a dark layer of storm clouds. The plane rocked and jumped from side to side and seemed to struggle as it climbed through the clouds. It was a pretty turbulent few minutes.

Why Jesus Wants Us to Stop Going to Church

Jesus never told his disciples (us Christians) to go to church. He never commanded us to put on big worship services and lots of programs. Instead, he called us to believe our true identity and be the church.

In this episode of the Everyday Disciple Podcast, Caesar and Heath discuss how language creates culture, and how bad language leads to bad theology and bad practice.

In This Episode You’ll Learn:

  • Why it’s impossible to actually “go to church”.
  • How our American dream world and schedule make it really hard to live the life Jesus wants for us.
  • How many non-Christian friends we have shows us whether we are living like Jesus.
  • Why life lived in community with others is the only way discipleship truly happens.
