Daily Thunder Podcast Eric Ludy + Nathan Johnson

Are you a genuine Christian or are you faking it? While Paul tells us we are to imitate Christ (Ephesians 5:1), the reality of his message is that without Christ it is impossible to imitate Christ—or said another way, the secret to imitation is impartation. In this message, Nathan Johnson talks about what it means to be “imitators of God” and gives three important reminders as we imitate.

This is the ninth episode in Eric’s powerful series entitled Legendary. This particular episode puts the spotlight on a very significant juncture of Eric’s life when he was in the early stages of his romantic relationship with Leslie. It is remarkable to behold how big of an impact godly fatherhood can have upon the romantic/relational side of a young person's life, when the door is opened to the possibility of it.

In this special Daily Thunder episode, we share a recent message that our friend Ben Price gave to our students and church this past Sunday.

As Christians, we are to reflect Christ in our words, actions, thoughts, and motives — in short, we are to be always and in all ways a Christian. Jesus should always be seen in and through my life in all I say, think, and do. In this message, Nathan Johnson steps back and gives a big picture view of Ephesians 4 and reminds us that Christ must be the center and focus of our lives.

This is the eighth episode in Eric’s powerful series about his late father. In this particular episode Eric brings us into the moment when his dad gave him a fatherly blessing and declared him to be a man. It is a moment of seismic power in a young Eric Ludy’s life. But this blessing is not reserved only for those privileged to have a father like Winston Ludy—rather, it is available for all those who have a Heavenly Father through faith in Jesus Christ.

Paul is adamant that we throw off the things of this world and live in light of Christ Jesus who indwells us through His Spirit. Anything that is unlike Him must go. In this study of Ephesians 4:31–32, Nathan Johnson walks through Paul’s two lists of what to put off and what put on and reminds us that we need the life of Christ within us if we ever hope to reflect Him in and through our lives.
