read by Nathan Johnson
Part 1 of the Ellerslie Live Teaching series
Far too many Christians are sitting on the doorstep of all that is available in Christ Jesus. They may know there is more, but theyve yet to enter the doorway to experience it. When they hear the word Gospel, they either think of salvation or a bunch of information about how we can be forgiven and experience eternal life. But Scripture declares that there is far more to the Gospel!
In this series, Nathan Johnson explores different elements of the Gospel, revealing its depth, beauty, and life-transforming power. This stirring series will help you better understand the Gospel, not as more details to learn, but a reality to be experienced. Join Nathan as we discover the grand and glorious Gospel and why it is truly Good News for your life.

Part 1 of the Ellerslie Live Teaching series
In a previous Daily Thunder series, Nathan began his study of Philippians 4:49 and discussed the first few verses on what Paul calls every Christian to think upon. In this conclusion of that series on the Christian mindset, Nathan examines each of the "whatever" statements of Philippians 4:8. In these perilous times, it is essential we, as Christians, have the correct focus and mindset.

Life in the Word
by Nathan Johnson
read by Nathan Johnson
Part 1 of the Ellerslie Live Teaching series
The grand message of the Gospel is that we not only have new life, but that life is Jesus Christ Himself. We are told that Christ is our life (Colossians 3:34) and we are to live through Him (1 John 4:9). We are reminded that as Christians, we have been crucified with Christ, and it is no longer us who live, but Christ lives in us (Galatians 2:20). In short, our lives are no longer our own, for we were bought with a price, therefore, we should glorify God with our lives (1 Corinthians 6:1920).
In this twelve-part series, Nathan Johnson explores the incredible reality of living in the Wordboth in the Living Word (Jesus) and in His written Word (Scripture). We will examine the essence of Christianity, how to live and abide in His life, and how to study the Bible for the purpose of knowing Christ Jesus more.

Win 'em Like Wilberforce
by Eric Ludy
read by Eric Ludy
Part 1 of the Ellerslie Live Teaching series
William Wilberforce did something in his day which was deemed impossible and still, over two hundred years later, anyone who studies his lifes work is startled and amazed and cant help but mutter to themselves while reading of his accomplishments, but . . . but, that cant be done!
Wilberforce seemingly single-handedly turned an entire governmental system away from selfishness, decadence, and brutality toward honor, respect, and human kindness. He seems to have single-handedly brought Christian values, Christian truth, and Christian practice back to backslidden Great Britain. But, was it single-handedly?
Though we often associate this great reformation of British thinking in the early nineteenth century with Wilberforce, it would be more accurate to say that this wildly impossible transformation was a result of a small band of radical Christian saints that worked alongside Wilberforce and lived together in Clapham, England. History knows them as The Clapham Saints, or spuriously as the Clapham Sect. And their story is one that must be heard to be believed. Their work so marvelously marks our world still to this day, but what is possibly most important to understand is how they changed the world in which they lived. And if we, as the Church of this modern day, were to put into practice these Clapham protocols, what might happen in our day?

Spiritual Lessons From Alfred the Great
by Eric Ludy
read by Eric Ludy
Part 4 of the Ellerslie Live Teaching series
In the year 871, the evil Vikings appeared to be the unstoppable new rulers of the Isle of Britain, but, against all odds, King Alfred of Wessex stood up and faced this encroaching evil head-on. In history, Alfred is considered great not because he was a powerful man, nor because he was a rich man, but because he was a man that stared at dramatic impossibilities and believed that God was able to overcome.
As the powers of darkness sweep across our beloved nation with malevolent intent, it is our hope that the Church regain its ancient swagger and freshly rally to the Cross of Christ, brandishing the ancient spiritual weaponry entrusted to us at Pentecost. May men and women like Alfred once again arise to meet the Viking invasion.

Daring to Do as Stanley Dale
by Eric Ludy
read by Eric Ludy, Leslie Ludy
Part 5 of the Ellerslie Live Teaching series
In 1938 something historic began to unfold on this earth. It was a daring missionary movement of epic proportions. At the very time in history when Hitler was beginning to exert his malevolent power in Europe and evil was conspiring to bring the world under its boot, God was also conspiring. He was conspiring to aggressively go after the souls of the hundreds of thousands of forgotten and unknown peoples of Irian Jaya (Papua New Guinea).
This is that epic tale. A tale of Gods boundless love for those imprisoned in sin, bound in demonic traditions, and, in many ways, repulsive to the natural man people that considered the traitor the hero and the most grotesque cannibal in their midst the greatest among them. God didnt just go after these needy souls He won them to Himself.
Stanley Dale is merely one of the heroic missionaries that gave up everything to share the message of Jesus with these dangerous people. But, Stanley Dale, though very real, is a symbolic character in this series. He symbolizes the very imperfect messenger willingly laying down his life in order to reach the the unreached of this earth by introducing them to the astounding gospel of Jesus Christ.

Soul Drift

read by Nathan Johnson
Part 8 of the Ellerslie Live Teaching series
Idolatry is a central theme in Scripture; yet most of us presume that because we don't bow at the altar of a statue that we are idol-free. The truth is, all of us need God to reveal our heart's greatest longing and for Him to give us clean hands and a pure heart. In this powerful series, Nathan Johnson explores the biblical concepts of idols, altars, and our need to forsake all substitutes to pursue God alone.

Spiritual Lessons From Wwi

Part 9 of the Ellerslie Live Teaching series
Could there possibly be anything redeeming in studying World War I? After all, this cataclysmic event boasts a terrifying storyline that toppled empires, maimed millions, wiped out an entire generation of young men, and was the sponsor of some of the greatest evils this world has ever known. Along with the death camps of WWII, the trenches on the front lines of WWI were probably one of the most terrible places in all history for a human to be. The world we live in today still bears the marks of this struggle. However, buried amid the rubble of this terrible four-year crisis are countless lessons to instruct the soul. There is beauty found in this ash heap if one is willing to dig.
The reason this particular series has been put together is to help better steer the Christian through seasons of suffering and agony, seasons of global advancement and change, and seasons of seeming hopelessness. WWI has an immense treasure store of life-wisdom packaged inside its violent, bloody folds. If we as the Church are to navigate through the 21st century with grace and triumph, then we ought to draw the amazing supply of grace and triumph from the vault of this chief event of the 20th century.

The Muscular Christian
by Eric Ludy
read by Eric Ludy
Part 10 of the Ellerslie Live Teaching series
The Church today is in desperate need of an infusion of strength, courage, boldness, daring, and unction. The Bible calls it grace. And we need it. The Church is weak, back on its haunches, mealy-mouthed, and vulnerable to caving into social correctness. This series is a vision statement for what the Church ought to be, should be, could be, and will be when Jesus regains His rightful position in our midst. Long and short, its a very impressive rendition of Christianity that is certain to change the world. In this seven-part series, Eric Ludy unpacks the pithiest of the pithy ingredients that make Christianity an unstoppable force in any generation when it truly gets its game on.

Part 11 of the Ellerslie Live Teaching series
Oftentimes the greatest movements of grace follow close on the heels of the greatest movements of evil. Such is the case of 1939 Great Britaindecadent, self-absorbed and wholly unprepared to stand up against the growing threat of Adolf Hitler on the other side of the Channel. A great evil had cast its shadow upon the sleepy British Isles, and now it appeared that the countdown toward their final days had officially begun.1939 GreatBritain is a stunning reminder to all of us, that no matter how dark it gets, Godsgraceis sufficient to meet the task and to turn everything around. Something happened inside that decaying, dying nation that is one for the storybooks. And, though it is nearly impossible to believethat decadent, self-absorbed, unpreparedlittlenationbecame seemingly overnighta nation full of lionhearted men and womenready to sacrificeeverything to see Hitler stopped. Out of the ashes of 1939 grows the beauty and profundity of 1940 Great Britain. And what is mostthrilling is that God desires to work this very same miracle in each of us.

Spiritual Lessons From Black & White America
by Eric Ludy
read by Eric Ludy, Leslie Ludy
Part 16 of the Ellerslie Live Teaching series
This series covers a period of 60 years in Americas wild history from WW1 to Watergate. Its a period remembered by every American in monochromatic black and white. Its the period when black-and-white movies and black-and-whitetelevision emerged. Every news photo from this period was black and white. The social issues of the day were matters of black and white with skin color ranking as the chief cultural division point of the hour. Being a season of intense politicaldivision and dogmatism, its no surprise that the opinions of men and women were also decidedly black and white.And, ironically, even the professional police force built by the government to attempt to tame the wildness of this period wore blackand white and toted FBI badges upon their lapel. The world we live in today was defined by this strange and convulsive time. Much of how the Church now functions in the West was defined by these 60 years of black and white. Some of thisimpact was good. Much of it was not.
If we are going to be the Church of Jesus Christ in this hour and effectively change the world in which we live, we need to know how to not be just right or left, black or white, pro or anti we need to berepresentatives of Jesus Christ.

Part 19 of the Ellerslie Live Teaching series
While the character of the American nation is currently being tested and the direction of our great land is being freshly defined, it seems a good time to examine the life and leadership of the man that most Americans believe embodies the grit, growl, and gusto that made our nation great in the first place.
Teddy Roosevelt is considered by many to be the consummate Americanmanly, fearless, chock full of courage, ready to shout louder than everyone else at the enemy, and ready to laugh louder than everyone else in the room when the going gets tough. God broke the mold when he made this man, but, that doesnt mean that his life cant supply us with some extraordinary practicalspirituallessons. A study of Teddy Roosevelt is sure to inspire you if not totally alter your life.

Legendary
by Eric Ludy
read by Eric Ludy
Part 20 of the Ellerslie Live Teaching series
This series discusses the profound notion of legendary living by using Erics father as a muse. He was not an extraordinary man in any earthly sense of the word, but his impact upon Erics life was extraordinary. His everyday actions of love, care, patience, and self-sacrifice have been immortalized. Why? Partly because of how he chose to live his life, which was marked by exceptional decisions amidst a self-fogged generation. And partly because, as a son, Eric has chosen to remember it, cherish it, and pay tribute to it.
Each of us wants to to live a life that matters, generating an impact that is felt long after we are gone. Its a deeply human thing. But, most of us when it comes to living lives that really count, are unwilling to do what it takes. If we want to live a life that will alter and impact the world, we must be willing to go against the grain of culture. We must be willing to sacrifice human comforts. And we must be willing to forgo human applause. The truly legendary life is one that maximizes the value and importance of every action performed and every word spoken. It recognizes the desperate need for the power of Jesus Christ to be the enabling and equipping vigor behind every movement and deed.
