849: BONUS Listener Insights (Eric Ludy + Ellerslie students) Jul 09, 2022

Show notes

Last Saturday we released a "Bonus Listener Insights" episode on Eric Ludy's current WW1 series that utilized the voices and input of eight regular Daily Thunder listeners from around the world. The episode was a rousing success. So, this week we tried it again, but with a different spin this go-around. This particular installment utilizes sixteen students from Ellerslie's current five-week training-eight of which will give feedback on Nathan Johnson's current Soul Drift series and eight of which will supply feedback on Eric's current WW1 series. If you are a regular listener that is staying current in the unfolding of our series, please let us know if you would like to assist us with your input on a future "listener insight" episode. You can email us at feedback @ellerslie.com.

848: Simply Churchillian // Spiritual Lessons from WW1 12 (Eric Ludy) Jul 08, 2022

Show notes

This is the twelfth installment in Eric Ludy’s epic summer Daily Thunder series entitled Spiritual Lessons from WW1. This episode investigates the uncomfortable atmosphere in Great Britain in 1914 as the Great War was breaking out. It was an atmosphere of sharp division and contrasting viewpoints. In fact, the division was so sharp that a unified national action against the German aggression in Belgium seemed unlikely. But, in the midst of this chaos, a man stepped onto the stage that would speak clarity to the nation amidst the terrible fog of war.

847: With ALL of Your “Soul" // Soul Drift 08 (Nathan Johnson) Jul 07, 2022

Show notes

Our modern culture typically uses the term “soul” to refer to the mind, will, and emotions of a person … or the disembodied part of us that lives forever. But the Hebrew concept is strangely different and more encompassing. In this message, Nathan Johnson explores what a “soul” is, why you don’t have one (you are one), and what it means to love God with all of it.

846: The Red Trouser Dilemma // Spiritual Lessons from WW1 11 (Eric Ludy) Jul 06, 2022

Show notes

This is the eleventh installment in Eric Ludy’s epic summer Daily Thunder series entitled Spiritual Lessons from WW1. This episode explores the Biblical theme of change. Is change a good thing or a bad thing? Well, that depends on what sort of change it is. Using the Russian War Minister, Vladimir Sukhomlinov, as the muse, this message unpacks the importance of change when wielded by the Holy Spirit. Because the lack of change, when change is required, can lead to absolute devastation.

845: With ALL of Your Heart // Soul Drift 07 (Nathan Johnson) Jul 05, 2022

Show notes

We are told the greatest commandment and the summary of the Law is to love God with ALL of our heart, soul, and might. But what does it mean to love God with our heart? Our modern culture equates the heart with emotions and feelings, but in ancient Israelite culture, the heart was so much more. In this message, Nathan Johnson examines the heart, what Moses means by loving God with all your “heart,” and gives three ways we can do so today.

844: The Daring Decisions of Albert // Spiritual Lessons from WW1 10 (Eric Ludy) Jul 04, 2022

Show notes

This is the tenth installment in Eric Ludy’s epic summer Daily Thunder series entitled Spiritual Lessons from WW1. This episode returns to the storyline of our hero, King Albert of Belgium, and follows him as he navigates through the darkest days of Belgium’s war-torn history. Albert magnificently demonstrates the rare decision-making process of heaven (ie. Dish out the “no” in order to preserve all covenantal yesses). With stunning alacrity, Albert makes decisions that harm himself in order to save his beloved homeland.

842: The Other Eric // Spiritual Lessons from WW1 09 (Eric Ludy) Jul 01, 2022

Show notes

This is the ninth installment in Eric Ludy’s epic summer Daily Thunder series entitled Spiritual Lessons from WW1. This episode investigates the life of Erich Ludendorff and his spectacular rise to worldwide fame in and through his exploits at the Battle of Liège in August of 1914. In a general sense, Ludendorff is not a character that Christians should emulate. But when he bangs on the gates of the Citadel in Liège on April 6, 1914, he models something that should cause every Christian to sit up and take notice.

841: You Become What You Love // Soul Drift 06 (Nathan Johnson) Jun 30, 2022

Show notes

Humans are imaging creatures and we will either reflect our Creator or something in His creation. But even more than reflecting, we will slowly drift and become the thing we love most. In this message, Nathan Johnson further explores the command to love God with everything, and how in doing so, we become more Christlike and unlike the world around us.

840: The Old Contemptibles // Spiritual Lessons from WW1 08 (Eric Ludy) Jun 29, 2022

Show notes

This is the eighth installment in Eric Ludy’s epic summer Daily Thunder series entitled Spiritual Lessons from WW1. This episode dives into the daring of the ready soldier. Modern men dread the thought of losing their comforts and letting go of life-as-usual. However, throughout history men have yearned for opportunity to march off to war. The spiritual man must not grow too comfortable in his earthly life —he must be ready and alert and always in position to leap into the fray and play the man.
