Christians are called “believers,” yet most of us separate the concepts of belief and faith in our minds and in how we live. In this episode, Eric and Nathan sit down to talk about the connection between believing and having faith, why faith is critical to our lives, and they give several good (and goofy) illustrations to help us understand that faith (belief) is more than merely a mental activity.------------For more information about Daily Thunder and the ministry of Ellerslie Mission Society, please visit: https://ellerslie.com/.

Anger is a difficult emotion to deal with in the Christian life. Is it okay to be angry, and if so how do I know if what I'm angry over is a righteous or selfish anger? In this study of Ephesians 4:26-27, Paul argues that while righteous anger is permissible, we should seek to put away all anger from our lives as it can easily become sin, cause division within the body, and become a place of opportunity for the devil.For more information about Daily Thunder and the ministry of Ellerslie Mission Society, please visit: https://ellerslie.com/.

This is episode three in Eric’s series entitled, Legendary. In this episode Eric unpacks the impact of his German heritage on his life and how his dad chose to deliberately move away from the strict, disciplined, production-oriented methodology of his background in order to create an atmosphere of laughter, celebration, and affectionate warmth in the Ludy home. 

Within the Church, the Holy Spirit is typically either an exciting subject or something you avoid at all costs. Yet, as Eric and Nathan discuss, the Holy Spirit is the very life of Christ within us-and the only way we can live out the reality of Christianity. In this round table discussion, Eric and Nathan talk about their own past with the topic of the Holy Spirit and why it's important for us to understand the life and role of the Holy Spirit biblically.

As Christians, our lives must be marked by the truth. Because God does not lie and because we are members of one body, we must aggressively throw any lie, hypocrisy, or duplicity from our lives. In this study from Ephesians 4:25, Nathan talks about truth, lying, and how both are far more than merely the words we say but also include how we live our lives.

This is episode two in Eric’s powerful new series entitled, Legendary. In this series, Eric is showcasing the world-altering impact of a simple life lived well. Each of the episodes in this series unpacks a dimension of his father’s life and beautifully illustrates the importance of doing the small things as if they were truly big things. 


In this brand new series, Eric Ludy and Nathan Johnson discuss the importance of words and why it’s so important for us to think biblically about words we use in the Church. In this first episode, they talk about how the enemy loves to hijack and redefine terms, perverting and twisting their meanings, and what we need to do about it. They also give the example of “Father” and why it’s necessary to consider it in light of Scripture rather than our experience. If you want a fresh biblical understanding of a Christian’s vocabulary and how it practically changes your life, you’ll love this new round table discussion series.
