Daily Thunder Podcast

The inauguration of a new president is an important day in a nation … as it can shift the direction of a nation’s culture for better or for worse. In light of today’s presidential inauguration, Eric and Nathan discuss the lack of manliness in the modern culture and Church and why we need to inaugurate it back into our world and lives. In this episode, they describe true manliness is, why we need it, and most importantly, where we can find it (hint: it’s not from within ourselves but from THE Man, Jesus Christ). Join Eric and Nathan in this new long form discussion about the inauguration of manliness.

The body of Christ is called to live in unity with one another—a symphony of the saints. As we dive back into Ephesians 4, Nathan uses this study as a review of Ephesians 4:1–6 to set the context for our future studies. As he reminds us, we are not called to uniformity but to true Jesus-focused unity as the Church.

The book of Ruth ends with a genealogy. While many Westerners are quick to jump over such lists, this one should cause us to pause and stand in awe. In this final message in the series, Nathan explores this powerful conclusion to the book of Ruth and gives ten reflections and implications for our lives in light of this little book of Scripture.

William Wilberforce was used by God to change the world. Many historians recognize the impact of his life, but fail to see the real reason why his life was so deeply impacting. They see qualities like perseverance, determination, and extraordinary compassion as the catalyst to his greatness. But though those qualities were essential to the make-up of the man, the true power of William Wilberforce goes much deeper than that. Wilberforce was a godly man and that was his great secret. He was a wholly honest and trustworthy person who genuinely loved all people and desired them to be free to live in liberty. The honorable nature of this man still reverberates in and through history two hundred years later.

As the book of Ruth nears its end, everything appears to be topsy-turvy. Boaz gets the girl, Naomi gets a son, a Moabitess is blessed by Israelites, and the nanny is cared for by the child. Despite the appearance of everything being upside-down and a bit backwards, the mercy, providence, and love of God is front and center. Join Nathan in this study of Ruth 4:11–17 and see how even topsy-turvy circumstances can lead us unto Christ Jesus.

Readiness is a vastly underrated quality of the healthy Christian life. But, readiness doesn’t come about accidentally. A believer needs to practice and train in readiness. And if it isn’t practiced, then the believer will be found unready in the moment where alertness, action, and agreement is desperately needed. The quality of readiness is one of the beautiful hallmarks of William Wilberforce’s life. And it is one of the chief reasons why his life impacted the world.

Throughout the book of Ruth, we encounter the concept of a “kinsman redeemer,” but few of us understand the importance and profundity of this redemption by a relative. In this message, Nathan explains the concepts of kinsman redeemer and the Levirite Marriage—showing how they help us understand Ruth 4:1–11 as well as point to our precious Savior, Jesus Christ—THE Kinsman Redeemer.

What would it be like if we as the Church of Jesus were to put aside our differences and, instead, cherish our common faith in our amazing Savior? This was Christ’s vision, His passion, His great desire. But, for some reason, we, as His Church, have greatly struggled to make this our vision, passion, and desire. William Wilberforce discovered the beauty of this spiritual unity in his work with the Clapham community back in the early 19th century. And the unity they shared sponsored one of the greatest and most transformative works of grace in the past two thousand years.
