For many believers, we have become distracted from what Paul calls the "simplicity and purity of devotion to Christ" (2 Corinthians 11:3). In short, we are too easily preoccupied with everything but Jesus … even if it is good and godly things.As we celebrate our 300th episode, we talk about the single most important thing—the truth that Jesus is all and He is to preeminent and first place in our lives.-----------------» Join the Deeper Christian community and receive the Deeper Digest each Saturday, which includes all the quotes, articles, podcasts, and resources from Nathan and Deeper Christian from the week to help you grow spiritually.-----------------Deeper Christian Podcast • Episode 300View the shownotes for this episode and get other Christ-centered teaching and resources at: deeperChristian.com/300

As Christians, we are called to be image bearers of the Living God — we are to showcase His life to the world. In short, we are to bear His Name well.In Scripture, there are two critical passages concerning what it means to bear God's name—the Ten Commandments and the command to not take God’s Name in vain, and Jesus’ model prayer to “hallow” the Name of God. In this episode, we listen to a portion of the final study in my "Behold Our God" series, looking at the majesty and loveliness of Christ through the Names of God. In the second half of the message, we discuss what it means to bear God’s Name rightly in our lives (and the secret to do so), how to “hallow” (keep His Name holy), and what it actually means to not take His Name in vain (it’s far more than swearing).Listen to the Behold Our God (Names of God) Daily Thunder series on the Ellerslie websiteBook mentioned in episode: Bearing God's Name (by Carmen Joy Imes)-----------------» Join the Deeper Christian community and receive the Deeper Digest each Saturday, which includes all the quotes, articles, podcasts, and resources from Nathan and Deeper Christian from the week to help you grow spiritually.-----------------Deeper Christian Podcast • Episode 299View the shownotes for this episode and get other Christ-centered teaching and resources at: deeperChristian.com/299

Leonard Ravenhill once said, "As long as we are content to live without revival, we will." And Ravenhill was not content to live without it, so he exhorted the Church to prayer. He once said, "The man who can get believers to praying would, under God, usher in the greatest revival that the world has ever known."This same passion and earnestness was seen in J. Edwin Orr, a preacher who was earnest for revival and prayer. In this episode, we listen to a powerful message Orr preached on the role and importance of unity in prayer that brings for revival. This message will give you a vision for the importance of prayer and the necessity of revival in our day.» Subscribe to the Bravehearted Voices Podcast on your favorite app-----------------» Join the Deeper Christian community and receive the Deeper Digest each Saturday, which includes all the quotes, articles, podcasts, and resources from Nathan and Deeper Christian from the week to help you grow spiritually.-----------------Deeper Christian Podcast • Episode 298View the shownotes for this episode and get other Christ-centered teaching and resources at: deeperChristian.com/298

In our day, it is seemingly difficult to risk everything for the glory and Gospel of Jesus Christ. We hold back. We shy away. We desire to live "all out" for Jesus but it tends to be all about ourselves rather than all about Him.Henry Varley once said, “The world has yet to see what God can do through a man who is totally yielded to Him.” Those words captivated D.L. Moody and he declared, “By the Grace of God, I will be that man!”Yet I strongly believe that the world has STILL yet to see what God can do through a man or woman who is fully surrendered and yielded to Christ.In this episode, we talk about what it would mean for us to risk everything for the glory of Jesus.-----------------» Join the Deeper Christian community and receive the Deeper Digest each Saturday, which includes all the quotes, articles, podcasts, and resources from Nathan and Deeper Christian from the week to help you grow spiritually.-----------------Deeper Christian Podcast • Episode 297View the shownotes for this episode and get other Christ-centered teaching and resources at: deeperChristian.com/297

God will lead us into His will—and He knows how to speak in such a way that you "get it" and hear clearly enough to follow His lead. Though He may not tell us where He is leading us, He will always give us light for another step—even if it feels like He is leading us backward.In this episode, we continue to talk about God's calling in our lives, how He leads us into His will, and His desire for us to trust Him as we walk in faith and dependency. -----------------» Join the Deeper Christian community and receive the Deeper Digest each Saturday, which includes all the quotes, articles, podcasts, and resources from Nathan and Deeper Christian from the week to help you grow spiritually.-----------------Deeper Christian Podcast • Episode 296View the shownotes for this episode and get other Christ-centered teaching and resources at: deeperChristian.com/296

Every believer in Christ Jesus has a distinct calling in their life … and Paul says that we are to walk worthy of that calling (Ephesians 4:1).But what is the calling in our lives that we are to walk worthy of?In this episode, Nathan expounds on Paul's words in Ephesians and clarifies our high calling in Christ Jesus.-----------------» Join the Deeper Christian community and receive the Deeper Digest each Saturday, which includes all the quotes, articles, podcasts, and resources from Nathan and Deeper Christian from the week to help you grow spiritually.-----------------Deeper Christian Podcast • Episode 295View the shownotes for this episode and get other Christ-centered teaching and resources at: deeperChristian.com/295

I mentioned in the last episode that I'm preaching through a series called Behold Our God focusing on the Names of God and how they declare the majesty of Jesus Christ.One of our God’s Names is “Jealous”—and while that may sound negative, it is actually an absolutely amazing thing. Though we often see jealousy as a destructive attribute, often motivated by insecurity or anger, Scripture reveals that jealousy is a profound aspect of God’s character. In this episode, we listen to a previous message by Nathan on the Name "Qanna" (Jealous) and discuss why jealousy in relationships is essential and explain why we must understand this attribute biblically. By the end, you will discover the beauty and benefit of this Name of God (Jealous) and learn why God’s jealousy is absolutely amazing.-----------------» Join the Deeper Christian community and receive the Deeper Digest each Saturday, which includes all the quotes, articles, podcasts, and resources from Nathan and Deeper Christian from the week to help you grow spiritually.-----------------Deeper Christian Podcast • Episode 294View the shownotes for this episode and get other Christ-centered teaching and resources at: deeperChristian.com/294

The Names of God showcase His attributes, life, and nature. When God reveals His Names, He invites us to know Him more deeply, grow in our relationship with Him, and to see the wonder and majesty of Christ—the One who fulfills and showcases every Name.In this episode, we are introduced to the concept of "names" in the Bible, and how you can discover the wonder and majesty of Christ through the Names of God.Links mentioned in the episode:Join the new study series Behold Our God – as we examine the Names of God and how they all point to the majesty of ChristListen to the podcast series on the I AM statements of Jesus in the book of JohnListen to the sermon series of the I AM statements of Jesus (scroll to the bottom of the sermons)-----------------» Join the Deeper Christian community and receive the Deeper Digest each Saturday, which includes all the quotes, articles, podcasts, and resources from Nathan and Deeper Christian from the week to help you grow spiritually.-----------------Deeper Christian Podcast • Episode 293View the shownotes for this episode and get other Christ-centered teaching and resources at: deeperChristian.com/293
