Deeper Christian Podcast

It's been a season of silence on the podcast — but not an empty one. In this episode, I explain why episodes have been paused (a full, rich season of ministry and a studio that became a guest room) and talk about a growing sense that it is time to change direction rather than just pick back up where I left off. I don't have the new vision fully formed yet — and I'm not pretending I do. What I do have is a conviction that seasons of quiet, patience, and formation matter to God as much as seasons of producing. This isn't the relaunch. It's the "I'm still here" episode as we anticipate the relaunch (God willing) in October.

Ruth is one of my favorite Old Testament books in the Bible. Though small and unassuming, it not only parallels our own Christian journey from darkness and sin to light and salvation, but it also has incredible depth that helps our spiritual growth as believers. While many think of the book of Ruth as merely a love story (between Ruth and Boaz), the book actually is an incredible foreshadowing of Jesus Christ, the gospel, and His redemptive work on the cross. In this episode, we briefly look at how the book of Ruth parallels the Christian life, foreshadows Jesus Christ, enriches and deepens our spiritual growth, and highlights Nathan's new Christ-centered study/commentary on the Book of Ruth.

Many Christians read the Bible slowly, one chapter or a few verses at a time—but there are tremendous benefits to reading Scripture through quickly. In this video, Nathan Johnson explains three important reasons every believer should consider reading through the Bible in 60, 90, or 120 days. Reading the Bible at a faster pace can help you see the grand storyline of Scripture, understand how the whole Bible points to Jesus Christ, and develop a deeper hunger for God’s Word. If you have ever struggled to stay consistent in your Bible reading or wanted to better understand the overall message of Scripture, this teaching will help to inspire you with a fresh approach to reading God's Word.

Many Christians say Jesus is the center of their lives, but what if He's not actually at the center of the center? In this episode, we examine what it truly means for Christ to be all and have first place in everything according to Colossians 1:18 and Colossians 3:4-11, and why so many believers unknowingly substitute legalism, religious duty, or fear for genuine Christ-centered living. Drawing from Oswald Chambers' challenge about what we're truly obsessed with, this episode will help you honestly evaluate whether Jesus is your life or merely a part of it—and what to do if you've been turning Him on and off without realizing it. If you're serious about authentic Christian discipleship and want to move beyond surface-level faith to making Jesus truly preeminent, this teaching will challenge you to examine what's really at the core of your spiritual life.
