Deeper Christian Podcast • Episode 124

We know that God takes care of the big issues and problems of life … but what about the small stuff?

Does God provide for every need? What about for every trial and difficulty?

In this episode, Nathan Johnson discusses the concept of God being Jehovah-Jireh and how He sees before the need is there and makes necessary provision and supply for the need.

As Moses declared, "…it is no better than madness, at this time to despair of the providence of God.”

If we were honest, all of our prayer lives can deepen, increase, or go to another level—whether it be time, focus, or givenness.

In this short exhortation, Nathan shares the stories of a few men from Christian history who lived lives of prayer—lives given over to intercession and prayer.

If you want to be encouraged to take your prayer life to another level, these stories will encourage (and no doubt convict you).

Deeper Christian Podcast • Episode 122

Paul tells us in Galatians 5 that Christians are marked by self-control. But what is self-control and how can a Christian live such a life?

Is it more than gritting one's teeth and taking cold showers? Yes!

In this episode, we discuss what self-control is Biblically and how you, as a Christian, can live a life that is controlled by the Holy Spirit.

Deeper Christian Podcast • Episode 121

As we in America celebrate the 4th of July and all the freedoms it provides, we mustn't forget where TRUE FREEDOM is found – only in Christ Jesus.

In this celebratory episode, we discuss how political freedoms can be taken away but the freedom found in Jesus Christ can be experienced no matter where you are at and despite any circumstance or environment you find yourself in (even a prison cell).

So this 4th of July, let's celebrate all our freedoms, especially the freedom and victory we have in Jesus.

Deeper Christian Podcast • Episode 120

God is holy … and we are commanded to be holy as He is holy.

But we are also told in Isaiah 64:6 that our best attempt to produce righteousness is but filthy rags. We can't live out holiness or righteousness or purity on our own.

So what then is the secret for us to live out a holy life?

In this episode, we look at how we can walk in holiness and live out the Christian life as it was intended … in holiness, righteousness, and purity.

Deeper Christian Podcast • Episode 119

As summer begins, we tend to take one of two approaches – either we rush through this season and Jesus takes a backseat, or we grow passive and disconnect. 

Rather than take those two approaches, we need to be intentional.

After having emergency surgery this past week, which I talk a bit about in this episode, I have been pondering Psalm 23 and want to share a few thoughts concerning finding rest and righteousness in our Great Shepherd, Jesus Christ … as He leads us to lie down in green pastures.

Deeper Christian Podcast • Episode 118

Jonathan Edwards is famous for praying, "O God, stamp eternity upon my eyeballs." 

The plea was one for an eternal perspective. When we live with eternity in sight, it completely changes how we live in the moment (no matter the difficulty, challenge, temptation, or joy).

In this stirring message, and perhaps one his most popular sermons, Leonard Ravenhill talks about standing before the Judgment Seat of Christ giving an account for our lives – and he therefore challenges us to live each day for eternity.

Over 285 times throughout Scripture, God gives His Name as "Jehovah Sabaoth" (The Lord of Hosts). The Name bespeaks of God's strength, power, and ability.

In this powerful and stirring message, my friend Philip Hartman explains the depth and profundity of this attribute and Name of God, and in so doing, exhorts believers to live in the reality that God is indeed the Lord of Hosts. Surveying the entirety of Scripture, this message will encourage you to place your trust and faith in the strength, power, and ability of our God.

We are in a spiritual battle … which means this is war.

Rather than live passively upon the sidelines, we are called, as Christians, to advance the Kingdom of God. 

In this classic Bravehearted Thot, Paul Washer encourages us to fight the good fight of faith.
