The ECC Podcast

Pastor Kevin Eshleman teaches us how to strengthen our hearts in the Lord in the midst of challenging seasons.

How do I pray with authority in order to see situations change?Jesus came not only to save us, but also to invite us into his kingdom work. When we give our lives to him, he gives us authority to advance his kingdom in his name. Yet, many of us feel like we don't know what that means or how to really walk it out. Join Jim Ehrman and Chris Weber as they discuss practical tools for exercising our God-given authority in prayer.

Pastor Jim Ehrman reminds us of the authority we've been given and shows us how to step into it in prayer.

What does it look like to use the Psalms as a prayer tool?

Sometimes, we face seasons so hard or complex that we struggle to find the words to pray. In those moments, what does it look like to use the Bible's book of songs and prayers--the Psalms--to give words to the cry of our hearts? What practical tools can help us engage in prayer when we feel least able to pray? Join Matt Swords and Dan Gulnac as they talk about how to cultivate a practice of prayer in the Psalms that will equip us to pray in life's hardest moments.

Pastor Dan Gulnac shows us how to use the Psalms to help us pray.

How do I transform my Bible reading from duty to delight?We know we should read the Bible, but many of us struggle to do it consistently. Or we do read it, but it feels dry and lifeless. Yet, we know the word of God brings life, so how can we change our stale reading habits into a buffet in his presence? Join Emily Given and David Burr as they talk about how to find life and fulfillment in our Bible reading.

Pastor Kevin Eshleman reminds us why we read the Bible.

Why is relationship with the Holy Spirit so important to the Christian life?

So many Christians try to live a good life on their own strength, but God sent his Spirit so that we wouldn't have to. God doesn't invite us into a life of sin management, but of transformation from the inside out. And the Holy Spirit is an essential part of that. Join Dan Gulnac and Barry Wissler as they discuss why the Holy Spirit is the answer to your problem. 

Barry Wissler shares on the power of receive through the baptism of the Holy Spirit.

How can I step into greater boldness in my Christian life?The Holy Spirit comes to us not just as a comforter and teacher, but also as one who emboldens and empowers us. Many of us want to live with boldness and radical obedience to the Lord, yet we struggle with fear of what others will think--or what God might ask of us. Yet Holy Spirit-led boldness helps us step into our calling. Join Matt Swords and Oliver Denlinger as they discuss how the Holy Spirit empowers us into greater boldness in our walk with Christ and the joy we experience when we say yes to him.
