We are remodeling our studio—and so for the next three weeks, we are heading back to the archives and listening to three important series (throwback episodes from Leslie, Nathan, and Eric). This week Leslie focuses on how to overcome apathy.In this session Leslie unpacks Biblical keys to both personal and corporate revival among modern believers, walking through three key spiritual principles to overcoming personal apathy and cultivating a passionate devotion to Jesus Christ. Spiritual passion is not meant to be an emotional high that comes and goes, but a constant, supernatural outflow of the life of Christ within us. This session shows us not only why spiritual fervor is so critical in the Christian life, but also how to exchange laxness for spiritual fire that doesn’t fade.--------- For more information about Daily Thunder and the ministry of Ellerslie Mission Society, please visit: https://ellerslie.com/.

This week Leslie focuses on how to overcome apathy.Many of us have become disturbed as we see modern Christianity steeped in mediocrity and spiritual apathy. It’s easy to assume that God is so fed up with the Church today that He’s given up on it. But in reality, His love for the Church is as great as it has ever been. He desires repentance, revival, and restoration to Himself. In this session Leslie presents a Biblical understanding of God’s heart and vision for modern Christianity, and how we as believers can become part of His solution for the Church today.--------- For more information about Daily Thunder and the ministry of Ellerslie Mission Society, please visit: https://ellerslie.com/.

This is the forty-second and final installment in Eric Ludy’s epic summer Daily Thunder series entitled Spiritual Lessons from WW1. This concluding episode wraps up the epic drama of WW1 in the Hall of Mirrors in the palace of Versailles. In June of 1919, exactly five years after Gavrilo Princip shot the Archduke of Austria-Hungary, the peace treaty was signed by all the belligerent countries and “peace” ensued. But it was a temporary peace, because it was a peace based upon brute force and revenge and not one derived from genuine agreement. This very misconceived treaty became the seedbed for Adolf Hitler and the Second World War in 1939.

This is the forty-first installment in Eric Ludy’s epic summer Daily Thunder series entitled Spiritual Lessons from WW1. This episode discusses the different approaches and mindsets that Christians have had about war and participating in war throughout the ages. Specifically, Eric focuses on the Conscientious Objector and the trials that WW1 brought to those that felt they could not participate in the war due to matters of conscience. It is imperative that the Church understand the issues of conscience so that they are ready to properly process and Biblically respond to the soul challenges of our day.

We are often blinded by our own problems, sin, and idols. We just can’t see them. Yet David in Psalm 139 cries out for God to search and try his heart to see if there is anything wicked within him. And we, like David, desperately need God to search and point out anything in our lives that needs to be removed or transformed. In this message, Nathan examines Psalm 139:23-24 and explains why being searched and tried by the Lord is not only good, but beautifully essential in our lives. For more information about Daily Thunder and the ministry of Ellerslie Mission Society, please visit: https://ellerslie.com/.

This is the fortieth installment in Eric Ludy’s epic summer Daily Thunder series entitled Spiritual Lessons from WW1. This episode explores the impact of one particular soldier on the landscape of the war. In October of 1918, in the Argonne-Meuse offensive, one soldier stunned, not just the Germans, but the entire world. Under fire of 30 machine guns directly aimed at him, he not only captured all the enemy's machine guns, but captured 132 German soldiers while he was at it—single-handedly. It's a remarkable story and one that has a rich spiritual parallel in our own lives.
