How Do Introverted People Stay Engaged in a Missional Life?
Welcome to this 4th installment of Ask Caesar. Here’s this week’s question:
“Caesar, this missional lifestyle you write and speak about sounds so awesome, but I’m not an extrovert like you and your wife both seem to be. How do introverts like me fit into this whole missional thing?”
I’m glad you asked that Meg because I hear this a lot and I think it’s an important issue.
First, a little history about these personality types and how they differ.
Extraversion and Introversion are the preferences originally used in a personality inventory created by psychologist Carl Jung in the 1920s. Most people today may be more familiar with these terms in connection with the Myers-Briggs Type Inventory. These terms are unfortunately a bit outmoded, misunderstood and misused in that extraversion is not about being loud or the life of the party and introversion is not about being shy or anti-social.

Advent Week 4: We Can Experience Love Because God is Gracious
When a recent survey asked, “If you could say in one word what you want more of in life, what would that be?” very surprisingly, LOVE didn’t even make the top 10. Could it be that money and false happiness have replaced the need for love in our lives today?
In this episode of the Everyday Disciple Podcast, Caesar concludes the Advent Series as he talks about the truth that because God is gracious, we can experience love in the deepest ways.
In This Episode You’ll Learn:
- The final look at 4 eternal truths about God that transform us. (The 4 G’s)
- Why we don’t know or understand true love in our lives and relationships.
- How we no longer have to perform for God, and why we don’t get to.
- Why it’s important to understand what we actually deserve from God.

Are You Really a Friend of Sinners?
Far too often I’ve heard Christians say, somewhat sheepishly, but with a hint of self-righteousness, that they really have nothing in common with non-Christians. That’s why they don’t have many (or any) not-yet believing friends.
Or they tell me that they don’t hang out with lost people, or allow their kids to, because they are trying to remain “holy” and don’t want to become polluted by the world. And to those objections I almost want to laugh and ask them if they have ever really read their Bibles or have you looked in a mirror recently?
Scripture and virtually all of history have shown us that if there is one thing we have most in common with every other human being, it’s our own sinful nature. Yet usually we let other’s sins define them and divide us, when in fact we are all sinners in need of a savior. We’re all dying, literally, and in need of rescue. We’re just alike. (more…)
