In part one of this series on the Ask Eric Podcast, Eric Ludy discusses one of the most important spiritual truths he has learned thus far—that Christianity can only be lived out in the grace and empowerment of Jesus Christ in our lives. The truth is, Christianity, as God designed it, is impossible to live—we cannot live a grand and godly life in our own strength or resource. Jesus calls and commissions us to be holy and perfect as He is—yet even in our best attempt, we find ourselves flat on our faces. Yet the power of the Gospel, as revealed through the Bible, is that God wants to train us how to live the Christian life. Though impossible to live, the Christian life is possible to live in Jesus Christ.

In this episode of the Ask Eric Podcast, Eric Ludy discusses his greatest concern for the Church today. In a simple phrase his answer is we are taking sin lightly. It is difficult in the modern church to bring a strong message of conviction. We are confused about the difference between conviction and condemnation and as a result we shoo away the working of the Holy Spirit in our lives under the banner of condemnation. The reality is, when the Holy Spirit is working in our lives, He brings about conviction—desiring for us to repent and be shaped in the image and character of Jesus Christ. When we repel conviction, it often leads to what Eric calls “open door sins” that grow and cause great destruction within our lives. If we don’t handle the small things, we tend to struggle with big things. The Church today hasn’t tended to the small things and as a result we are suffering from enemies within our midst. The Church must once again cherish conviction and regain a sensitivity to sin—refusing to even trifle with it.

If you could give a listener a starting tool to jumpstart their spiritual life, what would you give them?

In this episode of the Ask Eric Podcast, Eric Ludy discusses wrestling prayer and its necessity within every believer’s life. Just as Jacob wrestled with God at Peniel, so too you must wrestle with God in your life. In the end, you will gain a big vision for your life and truly learn how to pray. The secret to the Christian life is realizing that you cannot make it through even one day in your own strength—you need God’s strength, day in and day out. We must cling to God—He must be our substance and our strength. He desires to enable us to live triumphant amidst life’s biggest challenges and longs to meet the greatest needs of our lives—and we must learn how to wrestle in prayer.
