Deeper Christian Podcast • Episode 194

While nearly all Christians esteem prayer and do it at some level, we forget that all of our prayer lives can grow in depth, intimacy, and travail.

Leonard Ravenhill was a man of prayer who not only talked about the importance of intercession, he was a man given to it.

We are beginning a mini-series on prayer and I wanted Leonard Ravenhill to give us a short exhortation on one of his own key life prayers.

Taken from one of his sermons decades ago, this reminder is that we should ask the Lord to teach us to pray.

Deeper Christian Podcast • Episode 193

The Ravi Zacharias situation is a sober reminder to the body of Christ – we must not hide sin nor take sin and darkness lightly.

In this episode, I talk about the sober warning God gave my soul this week as I heard the report of Ravi – but rather than focus on what he did, I want us to be reminded of what the Word of God says about living upright and holy lives.

It is possible in the authority and grace of Jesus to walk in obedience and live holy, blameless lives – we are to walk in light as He is in the light – so let this be a sober warning and reminder to us all not to hide sin, but to expose it, repent, and to seek His face.

Deeper Christian Podcast • Episode 192

Love is in the air this month … but rather than keep our focus on romance and ourselves – we need to gain God's heart and purpose for love.

Love is more than an emotion or feeling … love is an action.

In this episode, we listen to a classic sermon by Darrell Champlin who talks about missions and taking God's love to the world. God desires that we share His burden and heart for the lost souls of this world. God is asking us, like He asked Champlin, "Do you love me with shoes on?"

Deeper Christian Podcast • Episode 190

Paul commands us in 2 Corinthians 13:5 to examine and test ourselves to see if we are in the faith.

He wasn't talking to unbelievers but to those sitting in the Church at Corinth.

Likewise, we too in the modern church must examine and test ourselves to see whether we are truly Christians or whether we merely attend church and know some information about God.

In this episode, Nathan Johnson talks about Paul's command to test and examine ourselves and questions whether we have a cruise ship mentality or a battleship one.

Deeper Christian Podcast • Episode 189

In the turbulent seas in which we live, how does a Christian experience peace regardless of the pressure, circumstance, or difficulty we may find ourselves in?

Christians are called to the most peace-laden, joy-filled, and hopeful people in the world – which means we are not to be fearful, fretting, anxious, or live with worry. Is this wishful thinking or can this be the reality of the Christian life?

In this episode, Nathan Johnson talks about how to experience the peace of God in any and every pressure and difficulty you face.

For it is only the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, which will guard and protect our hearts and minds in Christ Jesus.
