The Startling Truth About Disciple-Making

Discipleship remains one of the most talked-about topics in the church — and one of the least practiced. We hold conferences, preach sermon series, launch programs. But most followers of Jesus still have no idea how to make a disciple. Something is deeply wrong with that picture.

In this episode of the Everyday Disciple Podcast, Caesar gets honest about the startling gap between what we call discipleship and what Jesus actually meant. What’s blocking it, why it’s so rare, and what it really looks like to live as a disciple who makes disciples. Not just a better church member. An actual disciple.

Is Your Comfort Zone Costing Your Soul?

Most of us have arranged our lives to be as comfortable as possible. And it makes sense — we’re tired, we’re busy, and comfort feels like wisdom. But somewhere under all that comfort is a nagging feeling that Jesus might have had something very different in mind for us.

In this episode of the Everyday Disciple Podcast, we’re going to get honest about what a life of comfortable faith actually costs — and what it’s costing the people around you. This isn’t guilt. It’s an invitation. Jesus called us to a mission, and that mission was never guaranteed to be easy.

In This Episode You’ll Learn:

7 signs your faith has slipped into comfortable and complacent
The areas of life where comfort quietly crowds out mission

Blind Spots, Superpowers, and What God Sees

Most of us have a vague sense that we’re good at some things and bad at others — but we never slow down long enough to figure out what that actually means. We either ignore our strengths out of false humility, or we get blindsided by weaknesses we never saw coming. Sound familiar?

In this episode of the Everyday Disciple Podcast, we’re going to dig into how to discover your God-given strengths — and honestly face the blind spots that could trip you up. This isn’t a personality quiz detour. It’s an invitation to know yourself the way God already knows you.
