1079: Shooting a Bull Moose // Life and Leadership Lessons from Teddy Roosevelt 07 (Eric Ludy) Jan 22, 2024

Show notes

In this seventh episode in Eric’s series on Teddy Roosevelt, he discusses one of the most amazing events in this man’s extraordinary life. It was the time Teddy was shot in the chest. If you have never heard this story, it is worth a listen. And even if you have heard this story before, a fresh listen would probably do you good. Teddy’s response to being shot is an incredible picture of the Christian’s response to any and all things barking at our souls to, “Shut up! Give up! And don’t you dare take another step forward!”

1078: The Principle of the Puddle // Eric and Nathan’s Life Lessons 10 Jan 19, 2024

Show notes

As we talked about in the last life lesson, God is Jehovah Jireh, the God of provision. In this life lesson, Eric and Nathan take the concept even further and talk about the puddle principle and how we can trust and depend upon God’s supply even if all we see is a tiny puddle. As they remind us, God has an endless aquifer of grace available to every believer. Eric and Nathan also talk about Ellerslie Online and invite you to join them in a go-at-your-own-pace online discipleship program, available for a limited time.

1077: God is Speaking // Life in the Word 06 (Nathan Johnson) Jan 18, 2024

Show notes

God is speaking! He is not silent. The question throughout Scripture is not “does God speak?” but rather, “am I listening and obeying?” If we desire to have life in Christ, we must know, hear, and obey His voice. In this study, we examine the voice of God throughout Scripture, discover God’s primary means of communicating to us, and discuss what it means to stand naked before the Word so we can receive His grace and mercy.

1076: McKinley’s Down // Life and Leadership Lessons from Teddy Roosevelt 06 Jan 15, 2024

Show notes

In this sixth episode in Eric’s series on Teddy Roosevelt, he explores the necessity of calm and confidence in the toolbox of the great leader. When all is falling to pieces, it is essential that the leader holds it together. Teddy Roosevelt is one of history’s great pictures of composure amidst the bomb blasts. Teddy seemed to inexplicably grow ten feet taller in the day of crisis.

1075: Discovering God's Provision // Eric and Nathan’s Life Lessons 09 Jan 12, 2024

Show notes

There is a stunning story from the pilgrims as they came to America that shows the providence and provision of our God. In this life lesson, Eric and Nathan use this story to illustrate a profound truth they have discovered in their lives—God is Jehovah Jireh, the God who provides.

1074: Dancing Beyond WWJD // Life in the Word 05 (Nathan Johnson) Jan 11, 2024

Show notes

In ballroom dance, the woman responds to the lead of the man. In the Christian life, the believer depends upon and responds to the lead of Christ. Jesus used the analogy of a vine and branch—and as Christians, we are called to a life of absolute surrender, total dependence, and continual abiding in the Vine, Jesus. In this study, we examine a life that is beyond “WWJD” and discover what it means to rely, depend, abide, and surrender minute-by-minute to our precious Savior.

1073: Craving the Crowded Hour // Life and Leadership Lessons from Teddy Roosevelt 05 (Eric Ludy) Jan 08, 2024

Show notes

In this fifth episode in Eric’s series on Teddy Roosevelt, he takes a plunge into the inner thoughts, motivations, and outlook of the man. Teddy craved his “crowded hour”. He was always on the lookout for the big moment in his life when he would be called upon to sacrifice everything in order to save many. This burning yearning that Teddy carried throughout his life compels us to keep our eyes wide open to the opportunities for heroism that come to each of us—if we will only reach out and grasp them.

1072: The Benefit of Manure // Eric and Nathan’s Life Lessons 08 Jan 05, 2024

Show notes

While most people get as far from manure as possible, there is a great benefit that comes from it when we allow God to use it in our lives. In this life lesson, Eric and Nathan talk about manure, it’s benefits, and how we can leverage difficulty and problems in our lives for the glory of God.

1071: The Poetry of Christ // Life in the Word 04 (Nathan Johnson) Jan 03, 2024

Show notes

If we are going to live in and through Christ, the question becomes how do we do it? Scripture makes it clear that it is not through mental toughness and physical talent, but through allowing God to live His live in and through us. In this message, we examine the concept of practical living, “work,” and “doing things for God”—but in the biblical context of being filled with God’s life and Spirit.

1070: Fearless Four-Eyes // Life and Leadership Lessons from Teddy Roosevelt 04 (Eric Ludy) Jan 01, 2024

Show notes

In this fourth episode in Eric’s new series on Teddy Roosevelt, he unpacks the formative season of this great man. It wasn't in the comfortable shade of an easy life, but in the open air arena of great challenge and adversity. The greatest men and women never emerge out of ease--they always emerge from the soil of extreme challenge and from overcoming impossible odds.
