This is the thirty-first installment in Eric's epic summer series covering the contentious and war-torn season of American history from 1914 to 1974. In this episode, he dives into the meteoric rise of Bobby Kennedy to the position of Attorney General of the United States in late 1960. As a thirty-five year old, Bobby became the boss of the most legendary and intimidating man in Washington--The seventy-year-old J. Edgar Hoover--Director of the FBI. Sparks flew when Bobby stepped into this position, and the comical relationship that unfolded between these two men supplies us as Christians today with an amazing peek into the inner workings of our own relationship with spiritual change and growth. ------------For more information about Daily Thunder and the ministry of Ellerslie Mission Society, please visit: https://ellerslie.com/.

Leslie Ludy is the special guest for this twenty-ninth installment in Eric Ludy’s epic summer series covering the contentious and war-torn season of American history from 1914 to 1974. In this episode, Leslie revisits two amazing stories from Christian history in the 1950’s—the five missionaries killed in Ecuador and David Wilkerson’s impact upon the gangs in inner-city New York. Through these reflections on God’s world-changing work through ordinary men and women, Leslie reminds us that there are no “special Christians”, only faithful Christians. We don’t need special qualifications to bear eternal fruit through our lives. We only need a heart fully surrendered to Jesus Christ, and faith in a mighty, faithful God.------------For more information about Daily Thunder and the ministry of Ellerslie Mission Society, please visit: https://ellerslie.com/.

God sits in the position of “most high” above all else. There is none like Him and He is exalted above all creation. The name El Elyon (God Most High) bespeaks of God’s “highness” and the fact there is none like Him. In this study, Nathan examines the beauty of El Elyon and how we—like Satan—attempt to put ourselves in God’s “most high” position. He also gives three practical ways that affect our daily lives when we allow Jesus Christ to be our Most High God.------------For more information about Daily Thunder and the ministry of Ellerslie Mission Society, please visit: https://ellerslie.com/.

Whittaker Chambers, witness behind the key event that sparked the liberal/conservative philosophical divide in America, discusses the impact of his book 'Witness' on Ronald Reagan.

It also examines the impossibility of returning to a life without communism and the consequences of betraying one's country and rejecting God.

God’s faithfulness truly is great—He is constant, steadfast, and trustworthy. Yet, this incredible attribute of God is more than an aspect of His nature, it is one of His names—He is the Faithful God. In this study, we examine three names of God (The Amen, The Faithful God, and The Faithful and True Witness) and look at two ways in which we behold God’s faithfulness. Let us stand in awe and declare “Great is Your faithfulness!”------------For more information about Daily Thunder and the ministry of Ellerslie Mission Society, please visit: https://ellerslie.com/.

Leslie Ludy, speaker on the history of Women Airforce Service Pilots in WW2, discusses their experiences, the temptation to grow weary in a bold Christian life, the contrast between earthly and heavenly rewards, and the guaranteed reward awaiting those who serve the Lord. She also explores Stephen's unwavering desire for Jesus Christ in the face of persecution.

God doesn’t merely see all things … He sees me personally. This profound truth becomes clear in Hagar’s encounter with the Living God in Genesis 16, giving Him the name El Ro’i (The God Who Sees Me). While insignificant and mistreated, this name reminds us that God sees even the lowest and insignificant individual. In this study, Nathan examines this incredible name of God in light of Hebrews 4 and Psalm 139 and suggests that the question is not so much “does God see me?” as much as “do I want Him to see me?”------------For more information about Daily Thunder and the ministry of Ellerslie Mission Society, please visit: https://ellerslie.com/.
