Becoming a Family on Mission Pt.1

February 26, 2024

Discipleship, in many ways, is a re-parenting of people, a re-parenting of their culture. People need to understand and experience life in our perfect Father’s family and life in the Kingdom before they fully understand the love of God. Do others experience that when they hang out with your family?

In this episode of the Everyday Disciple Podcast, Caesar and his wife, Tina, share exactly how their family (Team K) grew to include many others as they make disciples in community. When living as a family on mission, discipleship can naturally flow out of your normal family rhythms to include and draw more and more people to God’s family!

In This Episode You’ll Learn:

How “Team K” was born as a family on mission and why it’s a big deal!
The ways that discipleship in community mirrors effective parenting.
Why church leaders need to have a family worth imitating as the starting point.
A heartwarming story of how others have been included in this Team K family.

Transitioning small groups or community groups to missional communities is much more than a name change. It’s much more than a weekly meeting (of mostly Christians) and it’s not just a monthly service project added in and called “mission”. (more…)

6 Gospel Keys to Praying Like Jesus

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

January 23, 2020

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…)

Why do we fear rejection and oftentimes feel like weirdos when we try to talk about spiritual topics or even come close to ‘sharing our faith’?
