Our Need For Innovation in the Church Today

There was a time when Christians and the Church pioneered much of the future, shaping culture in profound ways, from business to art to justice reform. But along the way, that redemptive, adaptive movement began to institutionalize, leaving us change-averse and frozen in time.

In this episode of the Everyday Disciple Podcast, Caesar welcomes innovation strategist and author, Doug Paul, who uses surprising stories and cultural analysis to help explain the five phases of Kingdom innovation. Doug offers valuable guidance for contemporary leaders looking to make a positive impact in their communities and beyond.

In This Episode You’ll Learn:

  • What true innovation is and who are the best innovators.
  • Why most leaders haven’t really innovated their churches during the pandemic.
  • 5 (easy to grasp) phases of innovation.
  • How to get the training and tools you need to begin to lead change.

The Beauty of the Gospel vs. Religion

Many people who avoid the Church have not rejected Jesus and the Good News of the Gospel; they’ve actually, rightfully so, shunned religion. And they’ve dismissed a transactional way of relating to God and an effort to somehow balance out the cosmic scales of his justice.

In this episode of the Everyday Disciple Podcast, we look at the beautiful and liberating difference between the Gospel vs. religion. Christianity and the true Gospel tells us that God himself, in the person of Jesus, has already done for us all the things we never could have done for ourselves. And that is Good News!

In This Episode You’ll Learn:

  • How the New Testament warns us about religion.
  • Why the Gospel is not advice telling you what you should or shouldn’t do in life.
  • The difference between the Gospel and Religion in several key areas of our lives.
  • How to spot where you might be living under the heavy yoke of religion.
