Are we hearing impaired when it comes to the voice of God? Could it be that what we believe and have labeled as relational, emotional, and spiritual problems are actually 'hearing' problems? In this episode, Caesar shows us how to turn down the negative voices in our heads, dial in the authentic divine Voice, and listen intently. The voices you believe will determine the life you experience! In This Episode You’ll Learn:

Ways to sort out all of the chatter coming your way each day.
Why the voices you listen to shape your own voice in the world.

7 Evangelism Mistakes You’re Probably Making

Evangelism has almost become a dirty word in our culture. Sadly, it’s not all that different in many churches. We either go all-in with enthusiasm only to find that most people aren’t interested, or we’ve quietly given up on it altogether. But what if we’re missing the heart of evangelism? In this episode of the Everyday Disciple Podcast, we’ll define what true biblical evangelism is (and what it’s not) while uncovering the 7 worst evangelism mistakes Christians make today. Even when we’re confident in our faith and what the Bible teaches, how we communicate and carry ourselves speaks volumes about who God is. God isn’t pushy—he’s patient. He’s gentle, loving, and always available. Our approach to evangelism should reflect that same heart. In This Episode You’ll Learn:

What the Bible actually teaches about evangelism.
Are all Christians called to be evangelists?
Why so many believers are looking for ways to “opt out” of evangelizing.
The 7 biggest evangelism mistakes today—and a better way forward.

Get started here... From this episode: “Believe it or not, most people are very open to having spiritual conversations. But it must be in the right context, at the right time, and we must have the right heart posture in order for it to truly be a conversation that others want to participate in... and maybe revisit over time. Asking more questions and listening well–especially at the beginning of a relationship–is a lot more important than trying to “win” the conversation on the spot.” Each week the Big 3 will give you immediate action steps to get you started.

How Introverts and Extroverts Shape a Family on Mission

The difference between introverts and extroverts is one of the most misunderstood aspects of personality. So many people get it wrong, leading to myths and assumptions that just don’t hold up.

In this episode of the Everyday Disciple Podcast, we’re setting the record straight. We’ll break down the biggest misconceptions and uncover how both introverts and extroverts play a vital role in living together as a family on mission.

The truth is, we all have moments when we crave solitude and quiet—Jesus certainly did. And at times, even the most introverted among us step into social settings and engage with others—just like Jesus often did. Understanding this balance is key to thriving together.

In This Episode You'll Learn:

How introversion has nothing to do with “being shy”
Why extroverts don’t always have to be the life of the party
How spouses that are on opposite ends of this can better understand each other
Ways culture has taught us to hide our self-love behind these distinctions
Why we need each other to be more fully like Jesus and make disciples

Get started here... From this episode: "Remember, whether introverted or extroverted God has gifted you differently than others AND he knows who will be a good fit for you relationally. Let God lead you to those “people of peace” who will love you for who you are. Extroverts are great for drawing a crowd, and introverts are more naturally drawn to fewer folks but go deeper into relationship. We need both in our missional communities."

And then to act out of that, out of what we're hearing there from God's voice. But I found it's a little bit like. The chicken and the egg. When it comes to listening, does your hearing shape your reality or does your reality
