The ECC Podcast

Guest speaker Richie Seltzer delivers a powerful call to give our whole hearts to the Lord and boldly share the gospel.

How does understanding covenant change the way we think and act?

We tend to think in terms of contracts, not covenants, but understanding what a covenant is and what it means that God has made a covenant with us changes everything. Join Matt Swords and David Burr as they discuss the implications of the new covenant and how understanding it changes the way we live.

Pastor Kevin Eshleman outlines the power of covenant and what it means that God had made a covenant with us.

What does it look like, practically, to surrender our need to understand and embrace mystery in our walk with God?

We are wired to seek understanding, yet that can often get in the way of our faith and our ability to trust God when we don't understand. How do we let go of our need to understand and the sense of control that understanding brings in our lives? What does it mean to embrace what we can't comprehend? What do we gain by learning to live in mystery? Join Jim Ehrman and Chris Weber as they discuss practical ways we can embrace the mystery of the gospel.

Pastor Kevin Eshleman reminds us that God and his ways are beyond our intellectual capacity to understand, and to walk with him, we need to learn to embrace mystery.

How should we view and honor singleness within a culture that celebrates marriage?

Those who are single, widowed, or divorced often feel marginalized in a church culture that celebrates marriage and family. But they are essential parts of us, and their voices and purpose should not be defined by their relationship status. How do married people prioritize and hold space for those who aren't currently married? What does it look like for the unmarried to view their singleness through God's eyes? Join Dan Gulnac and Emily Given as they share practical tools toward a better view of singleness in the church.

Pastor Jim Ehrman teaches on what it really means to be the body of Christ and how we hold space for those on the margins.

What intentional practices can help us cultivate mutuality in our marriages?Healthy marriages are guided by the Spirit, focused on Christ, and fully committed to submitting to one another in love. This requires both husbands and wives to address their own dysfunctions and learn to lead their marriages together, for the glory and mission of Christ. Too many of us get stuck in the power struggle of marriage, but if we want healthy marriages, we need to learn to shift from a me-focus to a we-focus. Join Dan Gulnac and Chris Weber as they discuss practical tools for taking our marriages to the next level.

Pastor Dan Gulnac uncovers the heart of a healthy Christian marriage.

How can parents and children break through misunderstanding to build meaningful connection?

When relating to our parents or our children, we can so easily trip over the generational disconnect. We struggle to understand them, and we feel misunderstood by them. But, God created us to live in families because we need intergenerational connections and perspectives. Join Heidi Zimmerman and Jim Ehrman as they talk about how to build bridges, rather than walls, to connect with the generations within our families.
