Daily Thunder Podcast

Ellerslie is hosting the musical Pilgrim this week on the campus … and not only is it an AMAZING declaration of the Gospel, it is deeply profound and just plain fun (what could be more delightful than the Gospel powerfully presented in musical theatre form?!).

In this special Daily Thunder episode, Eric Ludy talks with Adam Bradt, the actor who plays "Christian" in the musical, and gets his take on what it's like to play such an important character.

This is one episode you don't want to miss.

This is part one in Eric Ludy's series: Deciding Between the Two: A Four Part Series on Biblical Faith

Using Mary of Bethany and her bewildering breaking open of the costly spikenard as the muse, Eric dives into the mechanics and make-up of biblical faith — how it works in concept and how God intends to have it work in us.

Thanksgiving isn't merely important in the Christian life, it is essential – in fact, it is classified as God's will for your life (see 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18).

In this timely and important message, Nathan Johnson discusses:

• the importance of thanksgiving
• the language of thanksgiving
• the communion of thanksgiving
• and the practical living of thanksgiving

It's all things thanksgiving in this message, and no, we aren't talking about the big meal in November. Discover how this simple principle and "God's will" can radically transform your life.

Leslie helps us tackle the common excuses that hold us back from radical devotion to Jesus

We struggled with a title for this one – here are our top three choices:

• What is Heaven's greatest investment principle?
• Why are we so scared of weakness?
• What is the life principle that is hardest for Eric?

Regardless, this discussion between Eric Ludy and Nathan Johnson holds a powerful truth that every Christian needs in their lives (and as you listen, you'll discover why this life principle is the hardest for Eric to live out).

» a study in the God-ness of Jesus Christ

Most Christians agree that Jesus is amazing. But few Christians today realize just HOW amazing He truly is.

For Jesus is more than just a great man, an exemplary prophet, a dazzling healer, and a truly remarkable man of love and kindness. He WAS and IS all those things. But He is something far greater.

He WAS and IS God.

His beginnings were not in the womb of His mother, Mary. No. He is from before that womb. In fact, according to the Scriptures it was Jesus that created all things.

Christianity is in desperate need of a return to the almighty divinity of Jesus Christ. It is our desire that this message will exhort unto that end.

In a culture that applauds fear and foreboding, can a Christian actually live intrepid, fearless, and immoveable?

The Bible says, YES!

In this discussion series on "gritty Christianity," Eric Ludy and Nathan Johnson talk about cowardice and whether it is possible to live without it.

As Christians, we are called to lives of peace, joy, and hope – regardless of the turmoil and trouble that surrounds us. Is it possible for a Christian to be an island of peace amidst the seas of turmoil? Yes!

In this special series, Nathan Johnson examines what it means to walk in peace, joy, and hope in every circumstance and become that "island of peace" in our culture because of the life of Jesus Christ.

If you need hope or a fresh reminder to rise up above your troubles and difficulties and experience the Prince of Peace, this message is for you!
