The Hero WOD 59:02

Play Pause

17d ago59:02

59:02

In the CrossFit world of athletic fitness, a WOD is a “Workout of the Day.” A "Hero WOD" is an amped up version of a WOD. It’s a commemorative workout that honors a fallen hero. Performing a “Hero WOD” is a wonderful way to the describe the daily Christian life. It’s intense, it’s difficult, it’s sweat-inducing, and it is all done to honor the Ulti…

The Impossible Flight of the Golden Plover 55:43

3d ago55:43

55:43

Much like the Christian life, the Golden Plover is created to do something that, apart from God, could never be accomplished. God designed this humble little bird to fly 2,500 miles non-stop from Alaska to Hawaii every year. But, biologically, mathematically, and aeronautically this feat is not just improbable—it’s impossible. As believers, like th…

S5 E17 - Tornado Warnings & Watchmen 11:10

5d ago11:10

11:10

Send us a text We had a tornado go through very close to us this morning, within about 5 miles, but we received no watch or warning notifications. The National Weather Service is having some updates that prevented us from being told - and I'm thankful that we are safe, but others were not so fortunate. Ezekiel is called a watchman for the house of …

13:00

Send us a text In life, we have full circle moments when things you once did are things you find yourself doing again - but as a parent. I had that this week, from t-ball with my son to reading them Calvin & Hobbes together, we had many full circle moments. As I tucked my kids in, my son said, "Dad, I'm just like you." And he will be - he watches m…

12:55

Send us a text Someone kept trying to deliver a package to us that we were supposed to pay for. We had no idea what this package was. After going into the post office, it turns out it was a fraud - a fairly common scam. They post officer workers are trained in what to look for, and therefore we promptly rejected it. There are many fraudulent gospel…

The Short Fat Tall Skinny Latte 1:10:10

1M ago1:10:10

1:10:10

This is a message about seeing the impossible happen—where two completely opposite things like bitter and sweet stop their bickering and backbiting and finally join forces to form something neither on their own ever could. That’s the make-up of a Latte. And, supposedly—for those that like lattes—this unique blend of contrasting flavors is kind of a…

1M ago10:35

10:35

Send us a text I did my leg in, and I've been doing physical therapy as a result. You can't tell I have a problem looking at the surface, but deep underneath I really messed up my hamstring area. A lot of injuries are like that - and if left unchecked, can cause a lot of problems. Internally, we all have things that perhaps others cannot see on the…

12:13

Send us a text Our local pharmacy was robbed at gunpoint yesterday. Thankfully, no one was injured and later on the suspect was aprehended. This kind of thing just doesn't happen that often here in our small town, so it took us all by surpise. It was unexpected, and many were not prepared for it. The Lord likens his return to a thief - because we w…

The Recipe for a Wessex Penny 55:34

1M ago55:34

55:34

The Kingdom of Heaven appears upside down to us here on Earth. For instance, to be great, you must become small. To go high, you must first go low. To get strong, you must embrace weakness. This is not how we naturally think and reason, which is why many of us struggle with adapting to the Kingdom Life of small, low, and weak equating to great, hig…

14:19

Send us a text This week Kylie and I participated in the Passion WOD at CrossFit. 100 double-unders. 800m 95/65# barbell carry. 100 burpees. It was designed to remind us of the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus. It was a hard workout, but moreso because of how emotional it was. Do we really understand just how much Jesus suffered for us? Tod…

Why Not Today? 56:58

2M ago56:58

56:58

Procrastination is not a friend of functional Christianity. Rather, it’s a sworn enemy. Everything that makes Christianity work is based on “doing” and “action”. God goes out of his way to explain to us in the Scriptures that we can’t be tares, we must be wheat. We can’t be virgins without oil, we must be virgins with oil. And we mustn’t be goats t…

18:33

Send us a text A had the most horrid sound coming from my car, and after googling the car's symptoms I began to be worried it was going to be a huge fix. Turns out $40 it was something very small, literally. I guess that's the way it goes, usually the things we worry about don't ever happen. Jesus teaches us not to worry, to not be anxious. Usually…

S5 E10 - Putting Down Roots 11:39

2M ago11:39

11:39

Send us a text We have had an incredible amount of rain from the storms, which is good considering we just planted 150 trees on the farm. That's quite the process - you have to prepare the soil, firmly ground it, and make sure it's oriented properly - pointed in the right direction. As a matter of fact, this is the exact process we must go through …

Send us a text I recently had a conversation with a friend who helps to run a memory care facility. She told me that while some days are very hard for residents, the blessing of such a difficult disease is that the next day they have no memory of what happened before that made them so miserable or angry. Each day is a reset, a new day. Forgiveness …

The Five Fingers 1:02:46

2M ago1:02:46

1:02:46

This is a message at the very heart of our Ellerslie Training. The Five Fingers is an illustration that is often used in our teaching to explain the most central, salient, and foundational Truths that make up the Christian life. These are the five points that we as believers unite on and separate over. This is what Christianity is all about. Hint: …

Send us a text Spring has sprung. What once was lifeless brown and dead is now starting to team with the signs of life. Trees are blossoming, birds are singing, and my spirit could not be more thrilled about it. Nature teaches us about the nature of God. We serve a God with the power to take dead things and bring them to life. He demonstrated such …

Send us a text My son turned 5 years old today, and it seems like the last five years have just flown by. Life has a funny way of passing us by. A good friend reminded me last night that time is the only currentcy we spend without knowing our remaining balance, so use it wisely. Are we vigilant and intentional with our time? If not, we might end up…

The Romance of Tribulation 57:51

3M ago57:51

57:51

There are things in life that are naturally attractive to us as humans (ie. flowers, sunsets, and poetry). Tribulation is definitely not on that list. In fact, we will go to great lengths to avoid it. But, as believers in Christ, it is essential that we recalibrate our thinking regarding this very important thing known as tribulation. Because accor…

Small and Great 56:30

3M ago56:30

56:30

The average human when given a choice between becoming a small or a great person, without hesitation, would select great. Why not? Isn’t it the goal of life on this earth to become someone special? But, when you contrast that native instinct for the “great” life against the Christ model—there is a stark difference seen. Christ, when He came to this…

Send us a text Our youngest has another double ear infection, and it came on fast. There was no warning, and suddenly she was miserable. As I held her tonight, I sat and watched my ice melt in my glass - it was slow, and it was subtle. What a contrast. We need to remember that spiritual growth and spiritual deterioration are not like an infection -…

Send us a text We got a big snow dump again, and the kids wanted to go outside and play in it. This was the best kind of snow, the kind that packs tight so you can make snowballs and snowmen. The kids asked me to teach them how, and I explained you have to apply pressure and press the snow in your hands - that's what makes it stronger. Life works t…

Potato Country 1:07:27

4M ago1:07:27

1:07:27

Potato farming demands faith. The potato farmer needs to trust that the potato is actually growing though he can’t see it growing underneath all the dirt. Most of us steer clear of this sort of faith. We prefer things we can see, smell, hear, and touch. But, God is in the business of potato farming faith. And it is this sort of faith that Eric is c…

But the longer we've done it, the better we've felt. I've started to realize how poor my diet was before, and it wasn't the way I was designed to eat. Our new way of life is freeing - and I d…

Send us a text Bee's a pretty incredible. The female honeybee is capable of stinging a predator or what she considers dangerous, but not to protect herself - to protect the colony. Her act is self-sacrificing and selfless. She lays down her life for others. That is the nature of love. It puts the needs of others first. That is the kind of love Jesu…

Leveling Up 1:06:56

4M ago1:06:56

1:06:56

The Christian life is impossible to live. But that doesn’t mean we aren't intended by God to live it. The secret is in gaining the supernatural help to pull it off. Baked into the design of the strong Christian life is something that Eric refers to as “leveling up.” It’s when God calls the Christian to a higher degree of difficulty in their walk an…
