Deeper Christian Podcast

Every believer in Christ Jesus has a distinct calling in their life … and Paul says that we are to walk worthy of that calling (Ephesians 4:1).

But what is the calling in our lives that we are to walk worthy of?

In this episode, Nathan expounds on Paul's words in Ephesians and clarifies our high calling in Christ Jesus.

I mentioned in the last episode that I'm preaching through a series called Behold Our God focusing on the Names of God and how they declare the majesty of Jesus Christ.

One of our God’s Names is “Jealous”—and while that may sound negative, it is actually an absolutely amazing thing. Though we often see jealousy as a destructive attribute, often motivated by insecurity or anger, Scripture reveals that jealousy is a profound aspect of God’s character.

In this episode, we listen to a previous message by Nathan on the Name "Qanna" (Jealous) and discuss why jealousy in relationships is essential and explain why we must understand this attribute biblically.

By the end, you will discover the beauty and benefit of this Name of God (Jealous) and learn why God’s jealousy is absolutely amazing.

We all go through busy (and/or crazy) seasons at some point in our lives.

When we face such seasons, how do we survive, and better yet thrive, in Jesus during those times?

In this episode, we discuss five important reminders that we all need during those busy or crazy seasons of life …

1. Beware of Barrenness
2. God's mercies are new every morning
3. God IS our peace
4. Let everything push you to Jesus
5. Guard your intimacy with Jesus

As I wrap up a season of conferences and travel, I reach back into some of my favorite messages by my two mentors: Eric Ludy and Stephen Manley.

In this message, Stephen Manley talks about the "unasked question" that the disciples should have asked Jesus when He rose from the dead.

Focused on Acts 1:8, this powerful and stirring sermon is what I lovingly call "The Blue Sermon."

Stephen Manley is a good friend and spiritual mentor.

In what may be my favorite sermon of his, Stephen talks about what it means to be obsessed with Jesus … and gives some tremendous illustrations to show that we were made to be obsessed, the real question is "what are we going to be obsessed with?"

I'm in the midst of conference season for the next couple of weeks, and as such I thought it would be fun to play a couple messages by two of my good friends and mentors: Eric Ludy and Stephen Manley.

In this episode, Eric Ludy shares a vision for Christianity and explains how we in the modern church have lost "majesty." But just as some extinct animals are reportedly sighted, true Christianity is still possible and can be "sighted" in the world today.

In the last episode, we talked about 11 ways to grow spiritually strong this summer, and I mention reading great Christian biographies.

I often talk about the importance of reading Christian biographies as a way to see God's faithfulness and movement in His people throughout history.

And over the years, I've given a variety of lists of my favorite Christian biographies, but in this episode, I want to suggest nine titles for you to consider reading this summer. While there is some overlap, I think these nine Christian biographies are important to read for the days in which we live.

• Brother Andrew: God’s Smuggler
• Corrie ten Boom: Tramp for the Lord
• Hudson Taylor: Hudson Taylor’s Spiritual Secret (by Dr. and Mrs. Howard Taylor)
• C.T. Studd: C.T. Studd: Cricketer and Pioneer (by Norman Grubb)
• George Müller: Autobiography of George Müller
• Richard Wurmbrand: Tortured for Christ
• John Hyde: Praying Hyde (by EG Carre)
• Christopher Yuan: Out of a Far Country
• They Found the Secret (by V. Raymond Edman)

• Darlene Deibler Rose: Evidence Not Seen
• Jackie Pullinger: Chasing the Dragon
• Brother Yun: Heavenly Man
• Leonard Ravenhill: In Light of Eternity
• Oswald Chambers: Abandoned to God
• David Wilkerson: Cross and the Switchblade

Also, consider downloading a list of recommended reading (classic Christian books and other great biographies). While the list needs to be updated, it will give you a great starting point.

You can also check out the seven-part series of "Greatest Biographies" that I did with Eric Ludy on the Daily Thunder Podcast.

Christians are to have a unique set of "clothes" (a lifestyle) which entirely different than the world around them.

In this episode, we listen to a recent sermon by Nathan Johnson on the clothing of a Christian (from Ephesians 4:17-24) and discover what it means to put off our former way of living (like the world) and to put on the Lord Jesus Christ.

NOTE: in the sermon, there are a couple of spots where the audio cuts out … but we still felt the message was understandable and important. We apologize for the distraction.

» Watch/listen to Nathan's Daily Thunder series Clothing of a Christian for a deeper dive into these concepts.
