Far too many Christians casually pursue Christ—making Him an “add-on” to their lives, rather than the center of it. Scripture is clear that as believers, we must diligently seek after and pursue the Lord. The heart of Christianity is to love the Lord with ALL (our heart, mind, soul, and strength). The call is for all. In this episode, we explore the concept of seeking the Lord—not as a casual obse...

In our modern-day, it is easy to get wrapped up in the hype and fervor of worship, study, podcasts, and other means of understanding and approaching God … forgetting that it is not about joining the hype of a moment or crowd but rather about placing our hope in Him. There is only one thing that is unshakable, immovable, and sure—the hope we have in Christ. While originally given in reference to th...

There is a certain look of boldness and fearlessness. It's not a swagger or strut, it's a gaze of the soul at the Almighty God. The book of Proverbs is full of wisdom and truth—and commands us to seek wisdom and guard it in our lives. And there is rich benefit for those who do … the promise is that when you seek sound wisdom then it will be life to your soul and you will not be afraid. In these da...

God is clear—He Himself has said to us, “I will never leave you nor forsake you.” If we took these words to heart, we'd realize that there is absolutely no reason to walk in fear, worry, or anxiety. Join Nathan in this episode as we unpack Hebrews 13:5-6 and explain WHY you don't have to fear any longer. God gives us profound truth and hope regardless of the circumstance or situations we find ours...

Christians are to be marked by peace, joy, and calm. We are to be anxious and worried about nothing. But how? How can we as believers live amidst a chaotic world with a joyful serenity and peace? Paul reminds us in Philippians 4:6 that there is no reason to be anxious and instead commands us to be "anxious for nothing." Likewise, hundreds of passages throughout Scripture exhort us not to fear, wor...

The world is pushing a message of doom and gloom. News, articles, and casual conversations are giving endless bait for fear, worry, and anxiety. What is a Christian to do? In this episode, we discuss four ways to solve your fear and anxiety. You weren’t made to carry the weight of the world or the burdens of life—they will crush you. This is all the more reason we need the strength, peace, and emp...

God doesn’t merely give us peace … He is our peace. In these crazy and dark days in which we live, many people are living in great fear, anxiety, worry, foreboding, and stress. Yet, Jesus promises to be our peace and to guard our hearts and minds—regardless of the circumstance or situation swirling around us. In this episode, we examine the character and Name of God “Jehovah Shalom”—the God of Pea...

Paul commands us to let the Word of Christ dwell in us richly (Colossians 3:16). Yet for too many of us, the Bible is an add-on to our lives, not the center of our hearts, minds, words, and actions. In this episode, we talk about what it means for the Word of God to dwell in us abundantly and how it in turn should bubble forth out of our lives to the world around us. » Join Nathan in an in-depth C...

In the past two episodes, I've shared a burden that's been growing concerning the distracted culture in which we live. But Paul declares that Jesus is to have first place in every area of our lives—He alone is preeminent. This burden built up and spilled forth as a sermon I preached from Colossians 1:18. Since it is in the same vein as the previous two episodes, I thought it would be good to share...

We live in a world full of distraction, information, and a demand for more. Yet too many of us no longer know how to think, let alone know where to go for wisdom. I recently read the book  The Wisdom Pyramid: Feeding Your Soul in a Post-Truth World  by Brett McCracken, and it fits so well with the last episode ( #234: Four Warnings for This Year ) that I decided to do a simple book revie...

As I've reflected over the start of the new year, I've been convicted. It is far too easy these days to be passive and lazy, numbed by distraction, and lackluster in our Christian living. So if you want to grow spiritually, understand God's Word, and thrive in intimacy with Jesus Christ more than ever before, you must heed these four warnings this year. ----------------- Deeper Christian Podcast •...

Psalm 143:9 is a plea unto the Lord for refuge and security because the Psalmist hid himself in God. In the culture and days in which we live, we too need to find our hiding place in the Lord—or as the New Testament commands, we are to find our position "IN Christ." In this special episode, we talk about Psalm 143:9 and listen to a short Bravehearted Thot by David Wilkerson called "I Will Veil Mys...

There are many benefits to studying a book of the Bible, but many people overlook five key things as they begin their studies.

If you are looking to start a book study this year, join Nathan in a study of Colossians. This fourtee...

God delights in new beginnings. As we start a new year, we need to remember our God is the “God of new beginnings” – and allow Him to push a reset button on our lives and make this year one of the best, most intimate, most victorious years of our lives. ----------------- Deeper Christian Podcast • Episode 230 View the shownotes for this episode and get other Christ-centered teaching and resources...
