Not Just Sunday: Christian Life, Following Jesus, & Daily Discipleship

Patrick Miller and Keith Simon are both pastors who have spent enough time in church ministry to know that Sunday services, however good, do not automatically produce people whose lives look different Monday through Saturday. That gap -- between belief and actual formation -- is what Not Just Sunday exists to address. With 48 episodes, a 4.6-star rating from 907 reviewers, and weekly publishing, the show is still building its catalog but has already established a clear voice. The hosts describe their mission as helping people break up with part-time Christianity, and they pursue that with practical honesty rather than guilt. They offer biblical wisdom and concrete steps for daily discipleship -- the kind of intentional living that actually requires you to structure your time and relationships differently. The conversation format works well because Miller and Simon genuinely challenge each other. Both are thoughtful and direct, and neither defers automatically to the other's take. When they disagree, the disagreement is productive. The show covers everything from spiritual disciplines and biblical literacy to cultural engagement and what it means to build a life around Jesus rather than simply adding him to an already-full schedule. The tone is frank without being harsh. They know their audience has probably heard a lot of sermons and is maybe a little tired of inspiration that does not translate into change. The show is built for people who want the practical over the inspirational, the actionable over the aspirational. If that describes you, this is worth adding to your rotation.
