The ECC Podcast

Pastor David Burr teaches us how to share the gospel in small ways that can have a big impact.

Why should I share my story?

We all have stories to share--stories of the way God invaded our hardest moments with his comfort, our weakest moments with his strength, our most desperate moments with his provision. These stories carry great power, both for ourselves and for others. Join Jim Ehrman and David Burr as they discuss the power of story and why sharing our stories matters so much.

Barry Wissler teaches on the need for the generations to value one another and work together in order to reach the world with the gospel. 

Many of us feel intimidated by the idea of sharing our faith, but perhaps that's because we've put too much pressure on ourselves to get results. If we share our faith with no result, we start to feel like we've failed. Join Matt Swords and Chris Weber as they discuss a healthier view of evangelism that removes the pressure so we can see others the way God does.

Pastor Kevin Eshleman teaches on the importance of sowing the seed of the gospel generously.

What happens when we worship? 

Worshipping God is an essential part of our faith. But do we know what we are doing when we worship? Do we ever pause to ask why it matters? Join Jim Ehrman and Kevin Eshleman as they talk about the purpose of worship and what makes some worship songs better than others.

Pastor Jim Ehrman explains God's holiness in an unusual way.

How do I grow in creativity even if I'm not artistic? As humans made in the image of our creator God, creativity is a core part of who we are. This doesn't mean we're all supposed to paint or write poetry, but it does mean we're all wired to think creatively, to come up with new ideas and solutions. Yet it's so easy to go through our days without engaging or developing our innate creativity. Join Emily Given and Oliver Denlinger as they talk about the human mandate to create and practical ways we can engage with and cultivate the gift of creativity that God's put inside each one of us.

Pastor Kevin Eshleman teaches on God's glory displayed in all of creation and especially in us, who are made in his image to be creative.

When we sin, it's easy to get caught in shame. We start to think and feel badly about ourselves. We might even feel like we are a lost cause, like we'll never overcome our struggle, like we'll never live the way God wants us to. But shame is a liar. The enemy wants to catch us in our vulnerability, turning our repentance into condemnation, but God wants to pour his mercy on us so we can be free. Join Matt Swords and Jim Ehrman as they discuss practical tools for stepping out from under shame so we can receive God's mercy and the power to change.
