Everyday Disciple Podcast

One of today’s biggest and most vigorously debated issues is gun control. Statistics show Americans of all persuasions and political affiliations have become increasingly opposed to more gun control laws, despite the growing number of mass shootings. Yet clearly, some cry out for greater gun control. This week on the Everyday Disciple Podcast, we talk with Caesar’s son, a former Marine and now an attorney, to gain a better understanding of the issue of gun control from a legal, Christian, and Gospel perspective. The issue of gun control from a Christian perspective is not black and white. All of this is fueled by past and present history, personal pain, and plenty of emotion. In This Episode You’ll Learn:

• What the Second Amendment actually says and the context in which it was originally written.
• Why new gun control laws are so hard to get passed in America and abroad.
• If the Bible and Jesus ever advocate for either lethal self-defense or passivity.
• How the gospel speaks into this issue and how we can help today.

We all let false “gods” gain such controlling positions in our hearts that we will spend large amounts of passion, energy, and emotional and financial resources on them without a second thought. This week on the Everyday Disciple Podcast, we'll teach you how to identify and then smash idols and phoney gods in your life. In This Episode You’ll Learn:

• What idolatry is and how to recognize it in your own life.
• Why we're quick to defend our idols and counterfeit gods.
• How to uncover “the thing behind the thing” that exposes the real idol.
• 20 Idol-Crushing Questions that will help root out your idols.

From this episode: “An idol is whatever you look at and say, in your heart of hearts, ‘If I have that, then I’ll feel my life has meaning, then I’ll know I have value, then I’ll feel significant and secure.’ There are many ways to describe that kind of relationship to something, but perhaps the best one is worship.” Each week the Big 3 will give you immediate action steps to get you started.

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 Part 1 of seven simple steps to help you lead your people toward a “faith in practice,” where family life naturally extends outward to include others in mission.

These steps may seem simple or even obvious, but they work—and they’re just the beginning. Apply them, and there’s no limit to how far they can take you.

In This Episode You’ll Learn:

• What keeps a lot of churches and small groups stuck in a “me-focused” mode.
• The difference between a weekly small group and a true “family on mission”.
• Why understanding and embracing a bigger gospel is at the center of a missional life.
• The first three of seven proven steps to make family discipleship and mission simple.
• How to get help to start on all of this right away.

Get started here... From this episode: "Discipleship is a lifestyle—not a series of classes and then you’re finished. Every Christian is truly a missionary right where they live. These are the first important steps that a family, group, or church needs to embrace and grow in, or they’ll never really have a healthy missional life or community with others."
