10d ago33:19

33:19

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 t…

10 Ideas For Your Christmas on Mission 27:05

18d ago27:05

27:05

Many of us were raised to believe that the Christmas holidays are a time to unplug from outside relationships and our “normal” community rhythms.

In this episode of the Everyday …

Advent Week 2: We Live With Peace Because God Is Glorious 25:18

24d ago25:18

The peace Jesus came to bring was not coercive or backed up by military might, and it was not the type of peace that most of the world was looking for.

25:38

We often talk about “the culture” like it’s something out there... something other people shape. But the truth is, we are the culture. God has placed each of us right in the middle of it—on purpose. The question isn’t whether Christians have a role in shaping society, the question is, how intentional will we be about it? In this episode of the Ever…

In this episode of the Everyday Disciple Podcast, I’ll help you rethink how to prepare your community for health…

Why Aren’t Christians Happier? 29:54
