It would be a bill that cuts taxes, funds military strength, builds a strong border, kicks out the dangers in our country. All this in one bill. The work of the Cross was "One Big Beautiful Work." It accomplished everything needed for life and godliness in ONE singular action of ONE singular Man. In this discussion, Eric and Nathan talk about how amazing the cross is, how Jesus accomplished far more than merely forgiveness, and wh...2025-05-1940 minDaily Thunder Podcast1250: Think Big // Citizenship 18 (Eric Ludy + Nathan Johnson)Whether its through distraction, fear, or passivity, we often loose our gumption to think and act big in this world. We prefer to have someone else live big for us. Yet, Jesus wants to live big through us. In this conversation, Eric and Nathan explore the concept of thinking big, what does that mean practically, and how do it relate to the importance of tending to the small areas of our lives. As Eric said, "Watch what God will do if we expect Him to be God Almighty and not God all-tiny."------------» Take these studi...2025-05-1238 minDaily Thunder Podcast1247: Absurdism // Citizenship 17 (Eric Ludy + Nathan Johnson)Biblical thinking has gone the way of the Dodo, and now common sense has followed suit. What is left if "absurdism"—where we all stare at a naked emperor and claim he is fully dressed. In this episode, Eric and Nathan talk about the craziness of our culture and how we call evil "good" and what is wrong we call "right." But it is more than just the culture, because we do the same thing with sin in our souls. Join the discussion and hear Eric and Nathan's insight into the days in which we live and if they th...2025-05-0546 minDaily Thunder Podcast1239: The Threat of Tariffs // Citizenship 14 (Eric Ludy + Nathan Johnson)MONDAY APRIL 141239: The Threat of Tariffs // Citizenship 14 (Eric Ludy + Nathan Johnson)The Kingdom of God is upside down. If you want to go up, you must go down, if you want to be first, you must be last, and life is found through death. Culturally, there is a struggle with tariffs—people are experiencing pain while the system is reset. Similarly, as Christians, God will allow us to go through momentary pain and difficulty in order to bring us victory and freedom (and rescue us from even greater pain). In this discussion, Eric and Nathan ta...2025-04-1440 minDaily Thunder Podcast1236: Waste, Fraud, and Abuse (Mercy Edition) // Citizenship 13 (Eric Ludy + Nathan Johnson)In this follow-up discussion from last week, Eric and Nathan talk about mercy and how regardless of where we are with sin, mercy is always available. While a difficult subject to discuss, lest we keep on sinning so grace can abound, Eric and Nathan talk about why the concept of mercy is so significant in light of waste, fraud, and abuse found in our lives. They remind us that while God's mercy is always available, His desire for His people is that we would walk in holiness, righteousness, purity, and godliness. This is a powerful truth, especially in light...2025-04-0727 minDaily Thunder Podcast1224: Maintaining Decorum // Citizenship 9 (Eric Ludy + Nathan Johnson)While decorum is not a word we typically use today, it is an important concept for how we behave.

In this episode, Eric and Nathan talk about decorum, define what it is and discuss how there has been a lack of decorum in our socio-political world, and why it is so important to have in the life of the Christian.2025-03-1049 minDaily Thunder Podcast1221: Derangement Syndromes // Citizenship 08 (Eric Ludy + Nathan Johnson)Whereas the Fear of God is the beginning of good things—things like wisdom and knowledge. The fear of man is also the beginning of some things. But the things that the fear of man begins are not at all pleasant. For instance, the fear of man fosters a derangement of the human brain. It causes said brain to stop questioning the obvious, to turn off all reasonableness, and forsake all common sense. In our world today we call the fear of man political/social correctness. It’s where someone chooses to act upon what is “correct” in the world’s...2025-03-0347 minDaily Thunder Podcast1218: Virtue Signaling // Citizenship 07 (Eric Ludy + Nathan Johnson)Virtue signaling is “impression management”—it is to subtly boost your reputation through what you say (or don’t say), what you wear, what groups you associate with, etc. Humanity seems to be wired for virtue signaling—to focus on self and how to look better in other’s eyes. Yet, as Eric and Nathan discuss, this is opposite of the Kingdom of Heaven. We should not care for our own reputations, but the reputation of Jesus Christ. In this conversation, Eric and Nathan dive into the topic of virtue signaling, giving many examples from their own lives, and discuss the...2025-02-2451 minDaily Thunder Podcast1203: The Inauguration of Manliness // Citizenship 02 (Eric Ludy + Nathan Johnson)The inauguration of a new president is an important day in a nation … as it can shift the direction of a nation’s culture for better or for worse.
