A Daily Thunder Series by Eric Ludy

About the Series

Could there possibly be anything redeeming in studying World War I? After all, this cataclysmic event boasts a terrifying storyline that toppled empires, maimed millions, wiped out an entire generation of young men, and was the sponsor of some of the greatest evils this world has ever known. Along with the death camps of WWII, the trenches on the front lines of WWI were probably one of the most terrible places in all history for a human to be. The world we live in today still bears the marks of this struggle. However, buried amid the rubble of this terrible four-year crisis are countless lessons to instruct the soul. There is beauty found in this ash heap if one is willing to dig.

The reason this particular series has been put together is to help better steer the Christian through seasons of suffering and agony, seasons of global advancement and change, and seasons of seeming hopelessness. WWI has an immense treasure store of life-wisdom packaged inside its violent, bloody folds. If we as the Church are to navigate through the 21st century with grace and triumph, then we ought to draw the amazing supply of grace and triumph from the vault of this chief event of the 20th century.

What people are saying about this series:

Spiritual Lessons from WWI is a timely series that has given me powerful insights for my personal battles. My favorite episodes, "The Sinister Unknown" and "Zone Rouge", remind me to trust God with my future and my past, no matter how hopeless or irredeemable they seem!
Lana L.
I listened to Episode 34 (A False Peace) 4x in 3 days, not my normal MO. The Devil lies — all he wants is our destruction. We are not designed for ease but for the glory of God. Episode 27 (Big Tough) is a good reminder to laugh in the middle of the struggle because we have grace for that.
April S.
I kept up with your entire WW1 series and have been deeply inspired and encouraged by the powerful spiritual lessons you bring out in this series. I want to walk by faith and apply these truths to my life ...Thank you for being a tool in God's hands through this series.
Tina F.
From the blustering insecurity of Kaiser Wilhelm II (of Germany) to the stalwart integrity of young King Albert (of Belgium), Eric takes us on a keenly reflective journey through the events in and around The Great War (now known as WWI) and how it relates to the spiritual war we are currently engaged in.

Spiritual Lessons from WW1
Few people know but scant facts about this cataclysmic event, and yet it was this event, more than any other, that shaped the modern world in which we live.
Spiritual Lessons from WW1
In an epoch when weak men led great countries, it should come as no surprise that weak decisions were made to great consequence. WW1 offers those sorts of lessons that can be best learned through struggle, pain, and immense sacrifice.
Spiritual Lessons from WW1
History, when approached with a spiritual eye, is generous to supply ample truth by which to tutor the human soul.
