This is episode two in Eric’s powerful new series entitled, Legendary. In this series, Eric is showcasing the world-altering impact of a simple life lived well. Each of the episodes in this series unpacks a dimension of his father’s life and beautifully illustrates the importance of doing the small things as if they were truly big things. 


In this brand new series, Eric Ludy and Nathan Johnson discuss the importance of words and why it’s so important for us to think biblically about words we use in the Church. In this first episode, they talk about how the enemy loves to hijack and redefine terms, perverting and twisting their meanings, and what we need to do about it. They also give the example of “Father” and why it’s necessary to consider it in light of Scripture rather than our experience. If you want a fresh biblical understanding of a Christian’s vocabulary and how it practically changes your life, you’ll love this new round table discussion series.

Jesus is to have first place (be preeminent) in every area of our lives. He is not an add-on to our lives, He is to be our lives—which should radically transform every area of life. In this new series, Nathan Johnson dives back into Ephesians and examines Paul’s practical examples of what it means to be a Christian (Ephesians 4:25–5:18).

A child often doesn’t see the great sacrifice of a parent. In fact, they more often than not, take their parent's care and attentions for granted and even grumble and whine with complaint when the parent falls short of perfection. It’s unfortunate, but few wake up from this childish slumber and actually see the magnificence of parental sacrifice. Of course, in a much bigger and eternal sense, most never wake up to see the magnificence of their Heavenly Father’s sacrifice on their behalf either. And that is why this episode, and this entire series, is of great value. It’s a fresh reminder to never take for granted the breath in our lungs and the precious people God has placed along the pathway of our lives. 

In this week between series, Eric and Nathan sit down at their new round table to discuss the three new series that launch next week. Hear them talk about the series, the new round table, and how Eric is excited to kick Nathan under the table.

God is always the same … and that is a very good thing. In this final episode of the Life Lessons series, Eric and Nathan discuss God’s primary attribute: His constancy and “always” nature. Because God never changes, we can put our full trust, hope, and faith in Him—this truth becomes a bedrock for the soul and radically changes how we live.

The goal of discipleship and spiritual growth is full maturity and conformity to Christ—to be Christlike and walk in godliness and holiness in everything we think, say, and do. While this is an impossible standard to live in our own abilities, it IS possible through the empowerment of God’s Spirit within us. As believers, we are called to continually and intentionally live in the Living Word (Jesus) and the Written Word (Scripture). As we conclude this series on “Life in the Word,” Nathan exhorts us to do just that: live (abide) in the Word.

In this twelfth and final episode in Eric’s series on Teddy Roosevelt, he unpacks the moving story of Roosevelt’s and Taft’s providential encounter in the Blackstone Hotel in 1918. There is a Blackstone Hotel in each of our lives—the question is whether or not we choose to capitalize upon it.

Christians never graduate from the basic foundations of the faith … and as such, we need to exhort our souls and preach truth to ourselves. In this life lesson, Eric and Nathan discuss why preaching to your own soul is important for the days in which we live, and give a couple of examples for how to do so.

Christians are called to abide and abound in Christ … but what does it mean to practically abide in Christ and how do we do it? In this study, Nathan not only examines what Scripture says about abiding and the evidence that you are abiding in Christ, but he also gives three practical ways to deepen your abiding relationship with Jesus right now.
