Everyday Disciple Podcast

You'll never lead anyone further, faster, or deeper into the gospel and discipleship than you’re leading your own family. Never.

And I'll share the journey we've been on to earn that same moniker for ourselves as we make d...

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!

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.

We all seem to put people into a box–labeling them in ways that we can either easily dismiss, or categorically aspire to, without really getting into the messiness of really knowing them. Most are likely to say that stereotypes are not true, yet they still exist and influence our perceptions in profound ways. This week on the Everyday Disciple Podcast, we look at the reality that not only have we...
