In part five of this series on the Ask Eric Podcast, Eric Ludy discusses one of the most important spiritual truths he has learned thus far—the exchanged life and being IN Christ.

Paul declares that our hope of glory is Christ within us—the idea is that we need to live IN Christ. Position in the Christian life is very important; and your position defines your outcome. If you are in Adam, then we share in his rebellion. But when we repent, put off the “old man” and put on the “new man” (Jesus), then His work on the cross becomes ours. Romans 6 says that His death becomes our death, His burial becomes our burial, His resurrection becomes our resurrection, and His ascension becomes our ascension.

If you desire to live a victorious, triumphant, and joy-filled Christian life, then the secret is actually being in Christ. The only way to gain the merit, benefit, protection, and strength of clothing, a tower, or Jesus Christ is to actually find ourselves within them.

The exchanged life is how Christianity functions.

What’s your position? IN CHRIST!

Throughout upcoming episodes, we are going to look at some of the books that have most impacted Eric’s life. In this episode, Eric gives the backstory to a book that his sister gave him for Christmas, and as a result radically changed his life when he read it. The book was the life story of Keith Green called “No Compromise”—Keith was seeking for truth everywhere, and eventually found Jesus. His response to the truth of the Gospel was “if Jesus gave everything to me, then the least I could do is to give everything to Him.”

In part four of this series on the Ask Eric Podcast, Eric Ludy discusses one of the most important spiritual truths he has learned thus far—the Spirit-filled life.

It may sound like a crazy thought, but God Himself—through the indwelling of the Holy Spirit—actually intends and desires to dwell inside of us. Yet while we may know this truth intellectually, most of us fail to realize what this actually means.

When the Spirit of God actually comes to live inside of us, His grand purpose is to resource and supply all we need for life and godliness (2 Peter 1:3). He desires to give us His heart, His mind, His eyes. He desires to remove the impurities from our lives and make us holy as He is holy (the work of sanctification).

The Christian life is meant to showcase the glory of God. And no human life, outside of the indwelt life, can do it. The best we can showcase is ourselves. But when we yield our lives and allow God to live within us via His Spirit, we become the workshop of the Holy Spirit and we find our lives (for the first time) able to live out the impossible calling of the Christian life.

Is your life His?

In part three of this series on the Ask Eric Podcast, Eric Ludy discusses one of the most important spiritual truths he has learned thus far—the endless frontier.

After a powerful conversation with his vocal coach, Eric Ludy discovered a key principle that has helped him live an extraordinary life—the secret is the concept of the endless frontier. In this episode, Eric talks about the endless frontier and how you can apply this principle to every area of your life: marriage, family, singing, masculinity/femininity, and perhaps more importantly, our spiritual lives.

As Christians we are not to pitch our tents in the land of “good enough,” rather we are to have the mindset of an endless frontier—always progressing, advancing, and not pitching tents. In every area of our lives, let us not settle for mediocrity but rather pick up our tent stakes and declare “onward march!” within every area of our lives.

In part two of this series on the Ask Eric Podcast, Eric Ludy discusses one of the most important spiritual truths he has learned thus far: grace. In our culture today, we misunderstand grace and assume it is merely the hug of God in the midst of our sin—but in truth, the grace of God is the power that removes us from the sin and lifts us out of the mud and muck. The enabling power of God (ie: grace) helps a man or woman live out the Christian life. A great transformation took place in Eric’s life when he understood what grace was and how it enables believers to live the victorious and triumphant Christian life daily. Grace is simply God’s work which is able to accomplish in and through us what we, in and of ourselves, are unable to do. Discover this empowering grace in today’s podcast.
