810: Boldness Through Dependency // Becoming Brave 07.5 (Leslie Ludy)
In this episode Leslie discusses the extraordinary life of Hudson Taylor. Taylor is known as the “father of modern missions”. He faced incredible danger and hardship in his lifetime of pioneer missionary work to bring the Gospel to China, and yet he was able to handle tremendous pressure because of his constant and total dependence upon Jesus Christ. In today’s uncertain world we can glean invaluable spiritual truths from Hudson’s example of gaining courage and boldness through implicit trust in His faithful God.For more information about Daily Thunder and the ministry of Ellerslie Mission Society, please visit: https://ellerslie.com/.

In this study from Ephesians 4:2-3, we examine humility—the first of Paul’s five initial tests that our lives must reflect if we hope to walk worthy of the calling with which we have been called.For more information about Daily Thunder and the ministry of Ellerslie Mission Society, please visit: https://ellerslie.com/.
