Deeper Christian Podcast • Episode 126As Christians, we can quickly default to the mindset that we are doing all things unto the glory of Jesus Christ and that our lives are in the "steward position" – when in reality we are the ones trying to control, manipulate, and dictate our lives and circumstances.True Christians, however, are not sovereigns but stewards of all God has entrusted to them.In this episode of the Deeper Christian Podcast, Nathan Johnson asks the question if you are living your life as a sovereign or a steward, and gives several practical areas of our lives we must allow the Holy Spirit to examine and bring conviction to if necessary.Download the shownotes for this episode and get other Christ-centered teaching and resources at: deeperChristian.com/126/

Deeper Christian Podcast • Episode 124We know that God takes care of the big issues and problems of life … but what about the small stuff?Does God provide for every need? What about for every trial and difficulty?In this episode, Nathan Johnson discusses the concept of God being Jehovah-Jireh and how He sees before the need is there and makes necessary provision and supply for the need.As Moses declared, "…it is no better than madness, at this time to despair of the providence of God.”Download the shownotes for this episode and get other Christ-centered teaching and resources at: deeperChristian.com/124/

Deeper Christian Podcast • Episode 120God is holy … and we are commanded to be holy as He is holy.But we are also told in Isaiah 64:6 that our best attempt to produce righteousness is but filthy rags. We can't live out holiness or righteousness or purity on our own.So what then is the secret for us to live out a holy life?In this episode, we look at how we can walk in holiness and live out the Christian life as it was intended … in holiness, righteousness, and purity.Download the shownotes for this episode and get other Christ-centered teaching and resources at: deeperChristian.com/120/

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/
