1247: Absurdism // Citizenship 17 (Eric Ludy + Nathan Johnson) 46:21

5d ago46:21

46:21

Biblical thinking has gone the way of the Dodo, and now common sense has followed suit. What is left if "absurdism"—where we all stare at a naked emperor and claim he is fully dressed. In this episode, Eric and Nathan talk about the craziness of our culture and how we call evil "good" and what is wrong we call "right." But it is more than just the …

1249: Four Five and Under // Thirty Years 15 (Eric + Leslie Ludy) 24:09

16h ago24:09

24:09

According to Scripture, children are like arrows in the hand of the warrior. Any one who has kids may wish to question such a notion. Arrows? Strength? Weakness, liability, and inconvenience would appear to be better descriptions. But the Bible is correct. As Eric and Leslie attest in this episode, when children are embraced as God designed, they c…

1248: Deception, Disobedience, and Destruction (Ephesians 5:6) // Building Up the Body 17 (Nathan Johnson) 1:01:50

3d ago1:01:50

1:01:50

Our modern culture celebrates ungodliness and sinful behavior—and it has seeped into the Church where leaders are encouraging Christians to live however they want and indulge in every kind of sin. But Paul warns in Ephesians 5:6 that we are not to be deceived by the “empty words” of people who endorse the things God has called sin. In this study, N…

1246: Baby Dubber // Thirty Years 14 (Eric + Leslie Ludy) 31:40

8d ago31:40

31:40

Adoption is a strange and marvelous experience. And no two adoptions are the same. There is always a unique story that underpins each one, hallmarked by the fingerprints of God. In this heart-warming episode, Eric and Leslie share the powerful and precious story of their son Kipling’s adoption. ------------ » Take these studies deeper and be discip…

1245: Victory in Jesus or Myself? (Ephesians 5:5) // Building Up the Body 16 (Nathan Johnson) 1:03:40

10d ago1:03:40

1:03:40

When we first come to Christ, we are saved by His grace, through faith (Ephesians 2:8–9). Our salvation is not of ourselves, it is the work and gift of God on our behalf. Yet, strangely, for many Christians, once we are saved through faith, we attempt to live the Christian life in our own strength, ability, wisdom, and resource—we try to be godly, …

1244: The Deep State // Citizenship 16 (Eric Ludy + Nathan Johnson) 47:44

12d ago47:44

47:44

The Ancien Regime is the French way of saying, “The Old Regime” (where we get our word "ancient"). This Old Regime has been around since before you were born and it doesn’t like to give up its control. Typically, in the government the Ancien is called the Deep State, but in our lives Paul called it "the flesh" or some call it "The Old Man"—or what …

1243: Start with One // Thirty Years 13 (Eric + Leslie Ludy) 32:42

15d ago32:42

32:42

Staring at the staggering number of orphaned and vulnerable children worldwide, Eric and Leslie felt compelled to do something about the crisis. God encouraged them to start with one. This is the story of them doing exactly that. In July of 2007, Harper Grace Ludy made the trip from Seoul, South Korea to Windsor, Colorado and into the Ludy home—cha…

1242: Freed From Idolatry to Receive an Inheritance (Ephesians 5:5) // Building Up the Body 15 (Nathan Johnson) 56:08

17d ago56:08

56:08

Paul does not back down when it comes to those who want to live a life of sexual immorality and impurity—those who continue to practice such a perverse life of idolatry will not inherit the Kingdom of God. But there is good news! No matter what you have struggled with in the past, no matter what your identity has been, Jesus and His Gospel can set …

1241: The Beauty of a Trade Deficit // Citizenship 15 (Eric Ludy + Nathan Johnson) 38:36

19d ago38:36

38:36

America has a massive trade deficit, and while this may not be a good thing economically, does a "trade deficit" spiritually reveal a problem? In this discussion, Eric and Nathan talk about God's "trade deficit" with humanity and how His pattern actually is how Christianity operates. In short, Jesus is in the business of extravagant generosity—His …

1240: The Language of Heaven (Ephesians 5:4) // Building Up the Body 14 (Nathan Johnson) 47:37

24d ago47:37

47:37

Your mouth is important to God. It will either be characterized by the culture or marked by the language of heaven. Whichever you choose, you will either promote God’s Kingdom or the Kingdom of the World. In this study, we examine Ephesians 5:4 and Paul’s command for a Christian not to talk with foolishness or filthiness, but instead to have a mout…

1239: The Threat of Tariffs // Citizenship 14 (Eric Ludy + Nathan Johnson) 40:48

26d ago40:48

40:48

The Kingdom of God is upside down. If you want to go up, you must go down, if you want to be first, you must be last, and life is found through death. Culturally, there is a struggle with tariffs—people are experiencing pain while the system is reset. Similarly, as Christians, God will allow us to go through momentary pain and difficulty in order t…

1238: The Adventure of Adoption // Thirty Years 12 (Eric + Leslie Ludy) 23:52

29d ago23:52

23:52

One of the most defining aspects of Eric and Leslie’s thirty years together has been their journey of adopting four kids into their family. Adoption is a beautiful portrayal of God’s heart and, at the same time, one of the riskiest and most challenging adventures a family could ever embark upon. ------------ » Take these studies deeper and be disci…

1237: Set Free From Sensuality (Ephesians 5:3) // Building Up the Body 13 (Nathan Johnson) 1:01:38

1M ago1:01:38

1:01:38

In our sensually-saturated culture, even the church has begun to question whether victory in the area of sexuality is possible in a Christian’s life. Yet, Scripture makes it clear that not only is it possible to be set free from all sexual deviancy and live in purity, integrity, and freedom, but we can actually triumph in our sexuality for the glor…

1236: Waste, Fraud, and Abuse (Mercy Edition) // Citizenship 13 (Eric Ludy + Nathan Johnson) 27:32

1M ago27:32

27:32

In this follow-up discussion from last week, Eric and Nathan talk about mercy and how regardless of where we are with sin, mercy is always available. While a difficult subject to discuss, lest we keep on sinning so grace can abound, Eric and Nathan talk about why the concept of mercy is so significant in light of waste, fraud, and abuse found in ou…

1235: Discerning God’s Voice // Thirty Years 11 (Eric + Leslie Ludy) 43:15

1M ago43:15

43:15

How can we learn to recognize the voice of God? Does He still intend to speak to Christians today? In this episode, Eric and Leslie candidly share their journey of learning to discern God’s leading in their lives - from dramatic confirmations to sensing His still small voice. (As an extra bonus, Eric shares a God-experience from their love story th…

1234: Not Even a Hint (Ephesians 5:3) // Building Up the Body 12 (Nathan Johnson) 1:14:04

1M ago1:14:04

1:14:04

There are two kingdoms—the Kingdom of God and the Kingdom of the World—and the contrast between them is great. Paul makes it clear that as Christians, our lives are to be marked and measured by the King of the Kingdom of which we live. As such, Christians (saints, holy ones) are not to live like the world around us, rather our lives are to evidence…

1233: Waste, Fraud, and Abuse // Citizenship 12 (Eric Ludy + Nathan Johnson) 37:49

1M ago37:49

37:49

It appears that the majority of people agree that there is waste, fraud, and abuse in the government. And while it fine to generalize the issue, people start having problems when someone actually starts to do something about it. The same is true in our souls—it is easy to declare that there is possible issues of waste, fraud, and abuse in our lives…

1232: Twenty-Six Lead Soldiers // Thirty Years 10 (Eric + Leslie Ludy) 55:42

1M ago55:42

Eric and Leslie continue their discussion on their writing career. Having combined forces for over thirty books, they mine the many vivid memories associated with the past thirty years of wielding the pen and the unique power it affords. ------------ » Take these studies deeper and be discipled in person by Eric, Leslie, Nathan, and the team at Ell…

1231: The Character of the Kingdom (Ephesians 4–6) // Building Up the Body 11 (Nathan Johnson) 37:40

1M ago37:40

37:40

When we become Christians, everything in our lives is supposed to change. We have been transferred from the Kingdom of Darkness and now made citizens of the Kingdom of Light and Love (i.e., the Kingdom of Jesus Christ). In this study, we step back and look at a broad outline of Ephesians 4–6 which will better help us understand the character of God…

1230: The Alien Enemy’s Act of 1798 // Citizenship 11 (Eric Ludy + Nathan Johnson) 34:07

2M ago34:07

34:07

The current political landscape is in argument over the jurisdiction of who has the ability to deport foreign enemies who have invaded the land. Yet this debate over the “Alien Enemy’s Act of 1798” is a great picture of the spiritual jurisdiction over our person lives, marriages, and families. In this episode, Eric and Nathan discuss how the Alien …

1228: The Growth of the Body (Ephesians 4:15–16) // Building Up the Body 10 (Nathan Johnson) 46:50

2M ago46:50

46:50

There is a beautiful paradox with the body of Christ—Jesus supplies everything we need for life and godliness, yet we as the body are to build each other up in love, causing the growth of the body. Paul reminds us in Ephesians 4:15–16 that Jesus is the head of the Church, but he exhorts the body to be abundantly supplied by Christ to function, grow…

1227: Ceasefire // Citizenship 10 (Eric Ludy + Nathan Johnson) 52:19

2M ago52:19

52:19

The world is witnessing an ever-growing phenomenon of escalating, ever-growing conflict. The earthly model for success is based on the fact that unless your side gets precisely what they demand in the deal then there is no deal—the conflict will continue for perpetuity. But, is this the Christ-model? Christ teaches us to forgive (even seventy-times…

1226: The Public Eye // Thirty Years 08 (Eric + Leslie Ludy) 41:18

2M ago41:18

41:18

Most people wish they could be in the public eye. “I wish to be famous” is always one of the three wishes someone claims from the genie bottle, isn’t it? For some reason the idea of being well known sounds like fun. But, Eric and Leslie believe that a life in the public eye should be surrounded by orange caution cones. They call it 95% trouble and …

1225: The Motives and Manner of the Message (Ephesians 4:15) // Building Up the Body 09 (Nathan Johnson) 39:46

2M ago39:46

39:46

Truth should mark our lives and lips as Christians. We are called to know the truth, be grounded upon the truth, and proclaim the truth. Yet, truth without love is not true truth, just as love without truth is not true love. In Ephesians 4:15, Paul declares that truth is to find its permanent residence in love—and as Christians, our lives and lips …
