Deeper Christian Podcast

Over the next several episodes, I want to talk about ten ways that will help you grow spiritually, deepen your intimacy with Jesus, and practically live the authentic Christian life.

The word "evangelism" often causes fear and trembling in many Christians … yet, evangelism (sharing the good news—the Gospel—of Jesus) can be a simple and powerful outlet to declare the hope of Christ that we have.

In this episode, we explore two stories from Scripture that remind us that we don't have to be talented or qualified to evangelize, rather, we need to be willing and surrendered.

Is it possible that you can be so full of truth that you can't help yourself from sharing the beauty, majesty, and power of Jesus and the Gospel? Yes!

The modern church is passive, weak, and impure; yet, how much of that is a result of our lack of expectancy at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ?

If you want to grow spiritually, you need to have "eternity stamped on your eyeballs" and live in light of the Lord's return.

In this episode, we explore nine ways Scripture says we are to prepare for the second coming of Jesus Christ … and as such, what that means for how we live day-to-day.

Most Christians know that prayer is important and that they should pray more … but how?

One of the best ways to grow in our spiritual lives as believers is to spend intentional time with God in prayer.

If we desire to grow spiritually, we must learn to walk in obedience to God and His Word.

It has been said that God will not lead us further than the last thing He has asked us to obey.

In this episode, we explore the concept of obedience, how even Jesus was obedient to the Father, and how God enables us to obey Him and His Word.

In this first study of the series, we examine worship.

Many of us immediately think of "singing" when we hear the word "worship." But worship is far more than hymns and praises—worship is a lifestyle that is based on beholding our God.

Throughout the episode, we examine how beholding and the idea of kissing create a foundation for our understanding of worship, and then talk about three aspects of worship if we want to grow spiritually: the lifestyle, the sacrifice, and the totality of worship.

Join Nathan in this exciting study as we explore how true worship can radically change our lives and press us all the deeper into Christ Jesus.

The little book of Ruth is one of my favorite books in the Old Testament. Though small, it packs a punch as it shares not only a beautiful romance, but more importantly, points to the ultimate romance of Christ and the Church.

Over the next eight weeks, I am teaching through Ruth—giving insights into its historical and cultural context … but also showing how it applies to our lives and points us to Jesus Christ and the Cross. I invite you to join me by listening to the Daily Thunder Podcast where the teachings will be released (or watch the videos here).

• Join me in this new study in the book of Ruth – watch the videos or listen via the Daily Thunder Podcast
• Listen to my past series on the Grand and Glorious Gospel

As a way to show tribute to Stephen Manley, a good friend and mentor of mine, I am playing a few of my all-time favorite sermons of his that have deeply impacted my life.

In this message, Stephen preaches from Acts 1:8 and discusses Jesus' answer to the disciple's unasked question. We have often called this "the blue sermon"—what does it mean for you to be "blue all over."

Stephen Manley is a dear friend, mentor, and someone who has had a profound impact on my life and spiritual growth.

I first met Stephen as a teenager when he came and preached at my church, later traveling with him as an intern for a summer, and then worked alongside him in ministry.

Stephen has recently been diagnosed with a severe brain cancer, and as I’ve reflected on his impact on my life over the past twenty years since I interned with him, I wanted to talk about three key things Stephen has taught me that has radically changed my life.
