Deeper Christian Podcast • Episode 119As summer begins, we tend to take one of two approaches – either we rush through this season and Jesus takes a backseat, or we grow passive and disconnect. Rather than take those two approaches, we need to be intentional.After having emergency surgery this past week, which I talk a bit about in this episode, I have been pondering Psalm 23 and want to share a few thoughts concerning finding rest and righteousness in our Great Shepherd, Jesus Christ … as He leads us to lie down in green pastures.Download the shownotes for this episode and get other Christ-centered teaching and resources at: deeperChristian.com/119/

Deeper Christian Podcast • Episode 118Jonathan Edwards is famous for praying, "O God, stamp eternity upon my eyeballs." The plea was one for an eternal perspective. When we live with eternity in sight, it completely changes how we live in the moment (no matter the difficulty, challenge, temptation, or joy).In this stirring message, and perhaps one his most popular sermons, Leonard Ravenhill talks about standing before the Judgment Seat of Christ giving an account for our lives – and he therefore challenges us to live each day for eternity.Download the shownotes for this episode and get other Christ-centered teaching and resources at: deeperChristian.com/118/
