439: Being Presidential // Spiritual Lessons from WW2 65 (Eric Ludy)
Speaker: Eric Ludy
Series: Spiritual Lessons from WW2
Study: 65: Being Presidential
This is the sixty-fifth installment in Eric’s series entitled Spiritual Lessons from WW2. In this episode he zooms in on the crisis of January 4th, 1944. It’s a crisis that demands a man to rise up and make one of the most difficult decisions any man has ever had to make. It’s tough being a leader. And, if we really understood the crushing weight that comes with the job, none of us would crave to be the one chosen to lead the troops on D-Day. But, if we are the one given the assignment, we can know that God will supply all that is needed to be decisive in the moment of decision.

D-Day is just up ahed. So, for the American and British troops it is practice, practice, practice. The troops are repeating their movements time and again to ready themselves for the greatest battle in history. As Christians, we are quickly approaching days of testing. How can we, as the Church, learn from Eisenhower’s war preparations in order to better station ourselves for victory in the upcoming weeks, months, and years?

430: An Aggressive Gentleness (Philippians 4:5) // The Christian Mindset 4 (Nathan Johnson)
430: An Aggressive Gentleness (Philippians 4:5) // The Christian Mindset 4 (Nathan Johnson)Speaker: Nathan JohnsonSeries: The Christian MindsetStudy: 4 – An Aggressive Gentleness (Philippians 4:5)
When you hear the word “gentleness” you think of kindness, someone being nice, perhaps a bit quiet. But biblically, there are two words for gentleness in Scripture and the word Paul uses in Philippians 4:5 is not at all what you may think of when you hear the term. In this study of the Christian mindset, Nathan Johnson explores Philippians 4:5 and talks about what true gentleness is and how to demonstrate it to the world around us.
