The Role Of Prayer In Spiritual Awakening (with J. Edwin Orr)
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

Risking Everything for the Glory of Jesus
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

Walking Backwards into the Will of God
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

God is Jealous … and why that is absolutely AMAZING
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

In this message, Stephen Manley talks about the "unasked question" that the disciples should have asked Jesus when He rose from the dead.Focused on Acts 1:8, this powerful and stirring sermon is what I lovingly call "The Blue Sermon."-----------------» 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 291View the shownotes for this episode and get other Christ-centered teaching and resources at: deeperChristian.com/291

Majesty Lost (with Eric Ludy)
I'm in the midst of conference season for the next couple of weeks, and as such I thought it would be fun to play a couple messages by two of my good friends and mentors: Eric Ludy and Stephen Manley.In this episode, Eric Ludy shares a vision for Christianity and explains how we in the modern church have lost "majesty." But just as some extinct animals are reportedly sighted, true Christianity is still possible and can be "sighted" in the world today.-----------------» 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 289View the shownotes for this episode and get other Christ-centered teaching and resources at: deeperChristian.com/289
