24:03

Life moves fast, and our kids grow up before we know it. As parents, we often wonder if we’re connecting with their hearts in ways that will last a lifetime. For me, one of the most valuable things I ever did with my daughters was taking them out on regular Daddy-daughter dates. In this episode of the Everyday Disciple Podcast, I share why these on…

Love him or hate him, Donald Trump has become one of the most polarizing figures of our time. And a big issue for pastors and church leaders is this: how much are our people being discipled by politics instead of Jesus? In this episode of the Everyday Disciple Podcast, we’ll step back from the headlines and look at what Scripture says about authori…

The Missionary Life You Were Created to Live 24:55

24:55

Living as a missionary is more about being than doing. Too often, we think of missionaries only as people who pack up and move overseas. But the truth is, if you are a Christian, you already are a missionary—it’s part of your identity in Christ. In this episode of the Everyday Disciple Podcast, I share what it looks like to live every day as a miss…

Real Church Growth Starts With Real Discipleship 35:00

1M ago35:00

35:00

Let’s be honest: much of the Church today operates with what could be called a “functional Great Commission.” It sounds more like, “Go into all the world and make worship attenders, baptizing them in the name of small groups, and teaching them to volunteer twice a month.” This week on the Everyday Disciple Podcast, we talk with our friend Will Manc…

41:39

When we talk about how mature our church is, we often think about its age, programs, or leadership structures. But the Church is none of those things—it’s people. And every person is a gift Jesus has given to his Church. The real question is… are your people mature? In this episode of the Everyday Disciple Podcast, I’m joined by my good friend Alan…

Fighting Our Preoccupation With Self 23:47

2M ago23:47

23:47

How you feel, pretty much in every moment, is connected to how you believe things are going relative to your sense of self. It is out of our identity, and perception of self, that our motives and actions flow. The Gospel answers our fallen self-obsession with a great work of grace in Christ. In this episode of the Everyday Disciple Podcast, we'll e…

What if they believe that discipleship really can become a way of life—and they just need some help getting started? This week on the Everyday Disciple Podcast, I’ll walk you thr…

Sharing Your Faith Doesn’t Have to Be Awkward 28:00

2M ago28:00

Let’s be honest—most of us don’t share our faith all that often. It can feel awkward… or even a little cringy. Maybe you’re afraid of rejection or just not sure how to bring it up without sounding weird or preachy. In this episode, we’ll show you a way to share your faith that actually sounds like good news—and feels like good news to others too. T…

Why Treating Others Like Family Is Good News 29:37

29:37

Who’s in... who’s out... Are we really supposed to treat everyone like family? Or is that just something we do with other Christians? This week on the Everyday Disciple Podcast, we look at what Scripture actually says—and why I believe God is calling us to treat everyone like they’re part of the family. It’s more than kindness. It’s gospel. When we…

The Journey to True Patience 23:48

3M ago23:48

23:48

Patience is one of the fruits of the Spirit… but let’s be honest, it doesn’t come naturally to most of us. Would the people closest to you describe you as a patient person? Probably not. And the reasons why might go deeper than you think. This week on the Everyday Disciple Podcast, we’re talking about the spiritual roots of impatience—what’s really…

Does the Gospel Influence Your Everyday Life? 28:59

28:59

Many of us live with a form of 'spiritual schizophrenia'—there’s our “Christian life” we experience on Sundays… and then there’s everything else. But Jesus didn’t come to give us a faith that fits into a box. He came to give us his whole life—right here, right now. This week on the Everyday Disciple Podcast, we’ll talk about how to close the gap be…

Discipleship Is Spiritually Re-Parenting People 24:37

4M ago24:37

24:37

So many people were never taught the basic skills needed for everyday life—let alone how to see it all through the lens of the gospel. Discipleship isn’t just a transfer of biblical knowledge or theology; it’s about helping people actually live as part of God’s family. And in many ways, it’s like reparenting others in light of what our Father now s…

Jesus Didn’t Speak Christianese—Why Do We? 32:27

But what if the words we use are actually confusing and off-putting to those outside the Church? In this episode of the Everyday Disciple Podcast, we explore how the language we use can either draw people in or push th…

I grew up going to church Sunday after Sunday. Discipleship, if and when it happened, was a series of classes or a 9-week curriculum that we went through. The problem with that was… it didn’t really work. In this episode of the Everyday Disciple Podcast, we’ll share Part 2 of seven simple yet important steps to living a lifestyle of discipleship wh…

Family Discipleship and Mission Made Simple (Part 1) 28:14

Our Christian faith was always meant to be lived vibrantly, like a family—not just a once-a-week event. 'Missional Communities' are a proven (biblical) way to engage people in everyday rhythms of family discipleship and mission, reaching both believers and those not yet following Jesus. In this episode of the Everyday Disciple Podcast, we dive into…
