Commands of Christ Podcast

William Booth's life challenges us to look beyond ourselves, see those in need around us, and allow Christ to have all that we are so that His love and light might flow through us to others.

From caring for thousands of orphans to witnessing remarkable answers to prayer, Mueller’s life testified that God is faithful, hears His children, and delights to provide according to His will.

Through Jesus’ declaration that His house should be “called the house of prayer” and the life of A.W. Tozer, we are reminded that true spiritual influence flows from communion with God.

Through the life of Silas Told we see that true greatness in God’s kingdom is found not in being served, but in becoming a servant.

Through Jesus’ teaching in Matthew 18 and the remarkable testimony of Corrie ten Boom, we see that forgiveness is not merely an emotion but an act of faith and obedience empowered by the Holy Spirit.

Together we are encouraged by the testimony of Charles and Susie Spurgeon, whose life exemplified Christ’s design for marriage. As they faced demanding ministry, physical suffering, personal trials, and public criticism, they chose to draw nearer to Christ rather than drift apart from one another.

In this episode, we explore the life of hymn writer Frances Ridley Havergal through the lens of Jesus' command in Luke 12:15 to "beware of covetousness." Best known for beloved hymns such as “Take My Life and Let It Be” and "Like a River Glorious", Havergal not only wrote about surrender—she lived it.

We are reminded through Spurgeon's life that our hope is found not in human eloquence or ability, but in faithfully looking to Jesus Christ and proclaiming Him to others. From Spurgeon’s dramatic conversion through the simple preaching of Isaiah 45:22, to his lifelong ministry centered on the cross, we see that the power of God rests in His Word and Spirit.

In this episode, we explore the inspiring life of Narcissa Whitman and how she lived out Jesus' command in Matthew 18:10 to "despise not one of these little ones." As one of the first women to cross the Continental Divide, Narcissa left behind the comforts of home to bring the gospel to the Native peoples of the Pacific Northwest.

Through years of sacrifice, suffering, bold witness, and unwavering commitment to biblical truth, he demonstrated the importance of keeping Christ preeminent and resisting the subtle errors that can draw believers away from the gospel.

In this episode, we consider Christ’s command to “honor thy father and mother” through the life of evangelist D.L. Moody. Though God used Moody to reach millions with the gospel, his devotion to Christ was most clearly seen in the ordinary faithfulness of his daily life—his love for his family, his care for his widowed mother, and his commitment to living out the truths he preached.
