Daily Thunder Podcast

The time of Nero was an incredibly dark time in history; a time when people suffered under the rule of a madman and sadistic mass murderer. But there is also something that happened in the time of Nero that is absolutely extraordinary—something that can cause a believer’s soul to be stirred with great hope. The time of Nero was not just another oppressive memory on the calendar of antiquity—it was a profound season of punctuation to the work of Christ Jesus on the Cross. It was a time of fulfilled prophecy; a time when the Church of Jesus Christ emerged as an unstoppable force in this world. This is the first episode in this exciting Daily Thunder summer series. Let the adventure begin!

In this special Daily Thunder episode, Eric and Nathan sit down to reflect on the past season of Daily Thunder and discuss their exciting new summer series, which launches mid-June.

You have an aroma. And while it may be a stench to the world, it is a delightful fragrance to God. In this message, Nathan teaches from Ephesians 5:2 and discusses how our lives of love becomes an aroma of God to our world. This profound end to our series is a powerful reminder to clothe ourselves in Christ and allow Him to do in and through us the very thing we cannot do ourselves.

This is the twelfth and final message in Eric’s powerful series entitled Legendary. In this episode Eric finishes off the series with style with a meditation on the hope we all have in Jesus Christ in and through death along with fun bonus correspondences between him and his father.

We love our independence politically, but to live that way spiritually will bring destruction and death. What we need as Christians is a humble declaration of dependence. In this episode, Eric and Nathan sit down to discuss what dependence is, why it is so essential in the Christian life, and what it means practically to live from a place of dependence upon God.

One of the defining attributes of Christians is to be love—but not a love like the world based on emotion, circumstance, or preference. Our lives are to be marked by God’s love—an extravagant, passionate, selfless love that pursues the benefit of another at the risk and cost to one’s self. In this message, Nathan Johnson explores Ephesians 5:2 and Paul’s command to live in and out of the love of God.

This is the eleventh episode in Eric’s powerful series entitled Legendary. This particular episode explores the transformative power of shared experience and kindred fellowship. When Eric was in the midst of his darkest hour, his dad joined him there—forever altering Eric’s life and perspective. 

Many Christians are confused over the difference between conviction and condemnation—but the difference is vast. In this important episode, Eric and Nathan sit down to discuss the beauty of conviction and the need to turn a deaf ear to condemnation. 

We are God’s beloved children! We have been adopted as true heirs and every Christian is His special (number one favorite) child. In this message, Nathan Johnson examines Ephesians 5:1 and Paul’s incredible statement that we are God’s cherished children.

This is the tenth episode in Eric’s powerful series entitled Legendary. This particular episode highlights Eric’s father’s willingness to give up everything in order to help his kids. It’s an amazing picture of the Christ-life in and through the lens of family devotion and sacrifice.
