The ECC Podcast

Join Matt Swords and Jim Ehrman as they discuss this weekend's message on how we can navigate hardships with joy and the reward of doing so. Hardship is part of life on this earth, and how we respond to it matters to our own growth and to the work of the kingdom. Tune in for Matt and Jim's personal insights and strategies for how we walk this out in our daily lives.

Pastor Jim Ehrman shares how we can navigate hardships with joy--and the reward of doing so.

Join Jim Ehrman and Dan Gulnac as they discuss this weekend's message on the call to read James with Jesus. We need to understand that James called us to live righteously knowing we cannot do it on our own. Rather, James pointed us to the reality that Jesus, through his death and resurrection, has empowered us to live righteously as we depend on him. Tune in for Jim and Dan's personal insights and strategies for how we walk this out in our daily lives.

Pastor Dan Gulnac teaches on the importance of reading the book of James with the understanding of Christ's empowerment in our lives for righteous living.

Join Dan Gulnac and Kevin Eshleman as they discuss this weekend's message on the power of our words. The way we speak can greatly impact others, and it can change the way we think about ourselves. We get to choose whether we will use our tongues for complaint and criticism or for thanksgiving and encouragement. Tune in for Dan and Kevin's personal insights and strategies for how we live out the call to use our words for kingdom purpose.

Pastor Kevin Eshleman reminds us of the power of our words and calls us to think before we speak. 

Join Matt Swords and David Burr as they discuss this weekend's message on the importance of both faith and works to the Christian life. We receive salvation by faith, as a gift from God, not by works, but then we are called to do good works for the kingdom. Thus, as James says, our faith is evident in the works we do. Tune in for Matt and David's personal insights and strategies for how we live out a faith that works.

Pastor Kevin Eshleman reminds us of the importance of both faith and works and shows us what dynamic faith looks like.

Join Matt Swords and David Burr as they discuss this weekend's message on the call to love and unity within the church, even when we don't agree. It's so easy to let our disagreements divide us, but God calls us to put relational connection above agreement, as evidenced in the book of James and the story of the Jerusalem Council in Acts 15. Tune in for Matt and David's personal insights and strategies for how we can walk this out in our daily lives.

Pastor Jim Ehrman teaches on the call to love and unity within the church, even when we don't agree.
