    Christ’s Commands in Action: Robert Chapman | Commands of Christ Podcast | S2 E8

    Are we living Christ, not just preaching Him? Robert Chapman, called “the saintliest man” by Charles Spurgeon, lived a quiet yet powerful life marked by humility, love, and a deep commitment to live for Christ. He gave up personal rights, pursued unity without compromise, and served the poor and the lost with Christlike love. His life reminds us that true gospel witness flows not from fame, but from faithfully living Christ before others.

    Christ’s Commands in Action: Eric Liddell | Commands of Christ Podcast | S2 E7

    How do we run our race with full surrender to Christ? Eric Liddell’s life answers this question and many more with quiet strength and unwavering faith. Known for refusing to run on a Sunday at the 1924 Olympics, Eric honored God’s law above worldly praise, trusting Christ by his obedience. His gold medal in the 400m became a testimony to God’s faithfulness. But Eric’s race didn’t end on the track—he gave his life as a missionary in China, serving others with humility and joy until his final breath. His last words, “It’s full surrender,” remind us that true greatness is found in yielding wholly to Jesus. Let us run our race likewise—looking unto Him (Hebrews 12:1–2).

    Christ’s Commands in Action: Amy Carmichael | Commands of Christ Podcast | S2 E6

    Are we willing to let our light shine wherever God places us? In Amy Carmichael’s life, we see the radiant fulfillment of Christ’s command: “Let your light so shine before men…” (Matthew 5:16). From the streets of Belfast to the orphanages of India, she lived with an eternal focus, burning with a holy love that served, rescued, and sacrificed. Whether walking in open fields or confined to a sickbed, she never ceased to shine, trusting God to use every trial for His glory. May we, too, be faithful to shine for Christ to the very end.

    Christ’s Commands in Action: Richard Wurmbrand | Commands of Christ Podcast | S2 E5

    How can we rejoice when suffering for Christ? Richard Wurmbrand’s life answers that question with powerful clarity. Tortured and imprisoned for his faith under Communist rule, he chose to obey Christ’s command: “Rejoice and be exceedingly glad” (Matthew 5:12). His example calls us to turn toward Jesus in our trials, not away. Like Wurmbrand, may we find strength to rejoice not just in ease, but in the presence of the living Savior who gives joy amid tribulation.

    Christ’s Commands in Action: David Brainerd | Commands of Christ Podcast | S2 E4

    How can God use a weak and broken life for His glory? What does it mean to truly follow Christ? In this episode, we reflect on the life of David Brainerd, a frail and often melancholy man who wholeheartedly obeyed Jesus’ call: “Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men” (Matthew 4:19). Despite sickness, loss, and rejection, Brainerd chose hardship over ease, taking the gospel to unreached Native American tribes. Through deep prayer and dependence on Christ, he witnessed powerful revival and lasting fruit. His legacy, preserved in his journals, has inspired generations. Like Brainerd, may we follow Christ with our whole hearts and pray to be used beyond what we are.

    Christ’s Commands in Action: John Newton | Commands of Christ Podcast | S2 E3

    What does daily repentance look like for the believer? From slave trader to pastor and hymn writer, John Newton’s life shows us that repentance isn’t just for salvation, but for sanctification. After his dramatic conversion, Newton continued turning from sin and growing in Christ being transformed by grace. His life of ongoing repentance reminds us that we are great sinners but Christ is a greater Savior.

    Christ’s Commands in Action: Hudson Taylor | Commands of Christ Podcast | S2 E2

    What does it mean to truly abide in Christ? Hudson Taylor’s life answers this through his deep reliance on Jesus. Once striving in his own strength, Taylor came to realize that fruitfulness flows only from resting in Christ. His life bore lasting impact as he founded the China Inland Mission and helped bring the gospel to thousands. His story reminds us that the Christian life is not about what we do for Christ, but what He does through us as we abide in Him.

    Christ’s Commands in Action: Faith Lived Out Through History | Commands of Christ Podcast | S2 E1

    In this stirring new season of the Commands of Christ Podcast, we move from principle to practice—tracing the commands of Jesus through the lives of men and women who lived them out with passion, humility, and dependence on Him. Christ’s Commands in Action invites us into the stories of ordinary individuals throughout church history who, by God's grace, lived extraordinary lives marked by obedience to the Word of Christ. From well-known names like Hudson Taylor and George Müller to lesser-known saints whose quiet faith shaped generations, each biographical sketch highlights a specific command of Jesus, showing what it looks like to put His Word into action. More than historical recollection, this season is a call to follow Christ as others have before us—not by exalting people, but by glorifying the power and presence of God working through flawed, but faithful vessels. These testimonies build our faith, exalt the risen Christ, and offer practical encouragement for how we too can walk as His disciples today. As we explore a new life each week, we’ll be reminded that the same Christ who empowered them is alive in us—and that His commands are not just to be studied, but lived.
