Bravehearted women in history are those who not only suffered willingly for Christ, but counted it a privilege to do so.  Women who understand the narrow path of the Cross — and that the Christian life is not meant to be easy — will be good soldiers for Christ, no matter what life brings.  Though modern culture tells us to self-protect, Christ invites us to join Him i...

As women, we must surrender our feelings and emotions to the Spirit of God.  Our actions and decisions must be based on His Truth, not based on our feelings, whims, and desires. Unless we bring our emotions and feelings under the authority of God’s Spirit, we will be ineffective in our Christian life and unable to make a significant impact upon this world.  In this session, Les...

Becoming a spiritual athlete is one of the primary qualities of every man or woman in Christian history who truly made an impact for God’s glory.  It is also the example set by the Apostle Paul, and the example of Jesus Christ.  Should we expect less for ourselves?  In this session Leslie explores the Biblical foundation of being a fortified, resilient woman  - not through...

Christ’s amazing work on the Cross did not set us free to “be ourselves” or “follow our hearts.”  Rather, He gave His life to set you free from ourselves, so that we no longer need to be controlled by our selfish, fleshly whims.  Because of His work on the Cross, we are free to be completely and wholly His — and as Leslie explains in this session, this is th...

In this session Leslie shares how the secret to bravehearted womanhood is not found in striving, but  surrender .  It’s not impressing the world with your own strengths - it’s getting out of the way so God’s amazing strength can be seen through your life.

This is the fifth and final installment in Eric Ludy’s five-part mini-series entitled The Immovable Man. In this episode he dives into the role that the Holy Spirit MUST play in a man of God’s life. Apart from the power of God indwelling a man, a man has zero ability in his natural resource to pull off the gargantuan calling of manliness. A man of God can uniquely impact the world, because he is i...

This is the fourth installment in Eric Ludy’s five-part mini-series entitled The Immovable Man. In this episode he talks about the central role that humility plays in a strong man’s life. At first, humility seems like a great weakness, but in actuality humility is the ultimate evidence of inner heavenly strength.  

This is the third installment in Eric Ludy’s five-part mini-series entitled The Immovable Man. In this episode he shows how a man is uniquely designed for dependence. But, it’s not a dependence on this world, money, a job, his parents, his spouse, or his good reputation. A man of God is dependent on God — wholly and completely. And that is his secret source of strength.  

This is the second installment in Eric Ludy’s five-part mini-series entitled The Immovable Man. In this episode he illuminates the reason why a man is given strength. It’s in order that he may spend it on others. God has given a man a special power, but it is only when a man leverages that power to serve the weak around him, that he discovers his awesome purpose. 

This is the first installment in Eric Ludy’s five-part mini-series entitled The Immovable Man. In this episode he unpacks the idea that a man of God is a “second” man. He is one that has parted ways with Adam’s behavior and has chosen to identify with the work of Christ instead.

Tribulations and trials are supposed to be our triumph in the Christian life! As believers, we shouldn’t shy away from difficulties, but as Paul commands, we should embrace them. Why? Because we know how God is using them in our lives. In this expositional study, Nathan examines Ephesians 3:13 and Paul’s reminder that we should not lose heart at his tribulations but rather recognize that...

Believers have access to the throne room of the King of kings and Lord of lords, the Creator of the Universe. In Ephesians 3:12, Paul says that our access unto God is not one of trepidation or fear but one of bold confidence. In this expositional study, Nathan explains our bold, confident access to God and the amazing wonder of such access.

God has an eternal purpose that He is bringing about in Christ Jesus. From eternity past, through all the Old Testament, and continues to today, His divine plan will be brought about. In this expositional message from Ephesians 3:11, Nathan Johnson gives an introduction to God’s eternal purpose and gives three practical ways we can live in His will and plan.

The body of Christ (the Church) has the tremendous privilege to declare the manifold wisdom of God to the heavenly realms. The way we as Christians live here on earth becomes a declaration to the world around us and to the heavenlies that God is still God, He is enthroned on high, and all the promises in Him are still yes and amen. In this expositional study of Ephesians 3:10, Nathan Joh...

God has a “mysterious plan” that He is accomplishing and bringing about in Christ Jesus. This plan, though hidden for ages in God, has come to light and is to be made known to the world. In this expositional study of Ephesians 3:9, Nathan Johnson examines Paul’s declaration and explains not only what the mystery is but how we as Christians are supposed to showcase it everyday of our live...

The Church today is known for all our distinctions and separations (like denominations) rather than the one thing that should distinguish us from the world: Jesus Christ. In this message, Dan McConnaughey discusses the concept of “distinct” and how our distinction as Christians should not be blurry.

Jesus says in Matthew 24:12-13, "Because lawlessness is increased, most people's love will grow cold. But the one who endures to the end, he will be saved." In this message, Sandi McConnaughey talks about love and our calling as believers to love God and those around us. We must endure in love till the end.

In this powerful and practical message, Leslie equips believers with a Biblical strategy for standing against the attacks of the enemy, and explores what it means to be spiritually offensive, rather than defensive, in our Christian walk.

God loves impossibilities. No matter what difficulties you may face, what trials you endure, what temptations that try to distract you—God is able to handle it because He is the “Master of Breakthroughs.” In this message from 2 Samuel 5, Nathan Johnson talks about the crowning of David as king over Israel and the resulting battle with the Philistines. Though an incredible picture from the Old Test...

This is the twenty-first and final episode in Eric Ludy’s epic summer Daily Thunder series drawing on the legendary life of Alfred the Great. In this particular episode he explores the idea of “the æstel” — a kingly gift given to Alfred’s men in order to help them better read and understand the text of the Bible. Alfred himself proved to be an æstel to his nation, to the world, and even...
