   God in Everyday Life

   In this episode, I discuss the reality of God being present in our everyday lives. I look at Paul David Tripp's four primary ways that people respond to the existence of God, and how those responses shape our outlook on the everyday decisions we make. I unpack what it really means to believe in God by faith, and encourage daily tuning our hearts to the Lord in a very practical way. Give it a listen and share the podcast with others.

   The Doctrine of God: Why Your View of Him Changes Everything

   What if your view of God is too small to shape your life? Eric Croft takes a Scripture-saturated look at the doctrine of God and shows why everything depends on getting this right - from how you worship to how you handle sin, suffering, and daily obedience. Drawing from Paul David Tripp’s framework, Eric grounds the conversation in the Bible’s most essential claims: God is one, eternal, holy, just, merciful, sovereign, and completely unhidden from His creation. He walks through key passages from Exodus, Psalms, Isaiah, John, Romans, and Hebrews to show how God reveals His character, why the Trinity matters, and how the glory of God reshapes the way we understand ourselves. You’ll hear: Why the Christian faith collapses if you remove its core doctrines How Exodus 34 reveals both God’s compassion and His judgment Why “the God of the Old Testament” and “the God of the New Testament” are not two different beings What it means that God does whatever He pleases How the holiness of God exposes our sin and our need for grace Why Jesus is the clearest display of God’s glory and mercy Eric also confronts the dangerous temptation to shrink God into a more comfortable image - a “heavenly Santa Claus” who never judges sin - and explains why that distorted view leaves us unprepared for accountability, repentance, and worship. Instead, he points to the hope of the gospel: the God who is holy and just is also gracious enough to provide forgiveness through Jesus’ sacrifice on the cross. Essential listening if you want a bigger, truer view of God and a firmer foundation for faith. This episode will challenge your assumptions, deepen your reverence, and call you back to the kind of truth that changes how you live.
