858: A History of Idolatry // Soul Drift 12 (Nathan Johnson) Jul 21, 2022

Show notes

The people of God have always been surrounded by a culture of idolatry. Though the gods and their worship were called different things over the generations, God’s people have always had to stand against the tide. Today is no different. We too are surrounded by an idolatrous culture and we are called to come out from among them and be separate. In this episode, Nathan Johnson discusses the idolatry problem the Early Church faced and their simple solution to it.

857: The Honor of England // Spiritual Lessons from WW1 17 (Eric Ludy) Jul 20, 2022

Show notes

This is the seventeenth installment in Eric Ludy’s epic summer Daily Thunder series entitled Spiritual Lessons from WW1. This episode zooms in on one of the most extraordinary moments in the war—when Joseph Joffre confronted Sir John French on September 5, 1914 and begged him to join the offensive against Germany at the First Battle of the Marne. The participation of the BEF (French’s forces) in this epic battle is the key factor in the ultimate outcome of WW1. However, at the time, it didn’t even seen possible that the British would side with the French in this occasion. If French had succumbed to his panic rather than risen to fulfill his role, the outcome of the Great War would have been wholly different.

856: Why God Stands Against Idolatry in Your Life // Soul Drift 11 (Nathan Johnson) Jul 19, 2022

Show notes

We, as Christians, are called to serve God alone and remove the idols from our lives. But what is idolatry and why are we called to remove them? In this episode, Nathan Johnson dives into God’s command against idolatry, explains what idolatry is, and why it is absolutely essential to remove them from our lives.

855: The French Counterpunch // Spiritual Lessons from WW1 16 (Eric Ludy) Jul 18, 2022

Show notes

This is the sixteenth installment in Eric Ludy’s epic summer Daily Thunder series entitled Spiritual Lessons from WW1. This episode exposes the strange phenomenon of Sin’s inability to slow itself and put on the brakes. This fatal flaw in Sin’s make-up is leveraged by God as one of His chief means by which he awakens the soul to His glorious salvation. This idea is demonstrated in a powerful way through the German aggression of WW1 and their attack on Paris in early September 1914. Paris was vulnerable, the Germans were powerful, and then . . . the strangest thing happened.

854: The Motive of the Monsters // Spiritual Lessons from WW1 15 (Eric Ludy) Jul 15, 2022

Show notes

This is the fifteenth installment in Eric Ludy’s epic summer Daily Thunder series entitled Spiritual Lessons from WW1. This episode explores the feigned motives of Germany and France in WW1 and then contrasts them with their actual motives when the bullets started flying. As Christians, like Germany and France, we often have ulterior motives, too. We can say our life is about the Glory of Christ when in actuality it is about our own glory. God desires to purify the motivational center of our life so that we might actually live for His Glory.

853: A Simple But Radical Devotion // Soul Drift 10 (Nathan Johnson) Jul 14, 2022

Show notes

We are called to a simple but radical devotion to Jesus Christ. He is to be Lord of our lives and we are to love Him with all we are and all we have. In this episode, Nathan Johnson talks about our ever expanding and exclusive devotion to God and how He must have first place in our daily activities, thoughts, words, emotions, relationships, future goals, and every other area of our lives.

852: The Nicholas Swizzle // Spiritual Lessons from WW1 14 (Eric Ludy) Jul 13, 2022

Show notes

This is the fourteenth installment in Eric Ludy’s epic summer Daily Thunder series entitled Spiritual Lessons from WW1. This episode takes us to St. Petersburg, Russia in 1914 and some strange goings on in the royal palace. It involves an insecure King, a fretful Queen, a sickly boy, and a Mad Monk. It is a story that is both bizarre and powerfully convicting. For like Nicholas and Alexandra, many of us have allowed the “Mad Monk” into our own living rooms under the auspices of crazy justification.

851: With ALL of Your Might // Soul Drift 09 (Nathan Johnson) Jul 12, 2022

Show notes

Many think that the final statement of Moses in the Shema—to love the Lord with all your might—refers to loving God with our muscles and physical strength. Yet, while Moses is concerned that you love God with the physical aspect of your life, the Hebrew idea of “might” or “strength” of your life again goes beyond what we presume—it includes everything you have like your possessions, money, time, and talent. In this message, Nathan Johnson discusses what it means to love God with all our might and gives ourselves to a total devotion to Jesus Christ.

850: The Meddling of William // Spiritual Lessons from WW1 13 (Eric Ludy) Jul 11, 2022

Show notes

This is the thirteenth installment in Eric Ludy’s epic summer Daily Thunder series entitled Spiritual Lessons from WW1. This episode takes us to an unexpected war theater in the Wild West. The story of surging conflict in 1914 is going to take us all the way to Mexico. And the intrigue runs deep as Germany labors to stir up animosity between the United States and Mexico in order to keep the U.S. distracted from assisting in a European war.
