Send us a textWhat happens when we pray?Today, Octavius Winslow reminds us that we do not approach a throne of condemnation, fear, or shame — but the throne of grace.Drawing from Hebrews 4, this devotion explores what it means to come before a sovereign God who reigns — and yet welcomes the weak, the weary, the guilty, and the burdened.Winslow's words are a gentle but firm correction to how we often misunderstand prayer. We don't come with worthiness. We don't earn an audience. We come because grace is already extended.This is an invitation to pray honestly, confidently, and without fear — because of Christ.Advent Daily Devotions with Dead People – Day 15

Send us a textThis Christmas, many of us feel the weight of being the only Christian in the room — the pushback, the awkward silences, the pressure to stay quiet about Jesus. Today's episode of Daily Devotions With Dead People — Christmas Edition shares the incredible story of Perpetua & Felicity, two courageous Christian women in 200 AD who refused to deny Christ… even when it cost them everything.Their story is raw, challenging, and unbelievably encouraging. You'll hear excerpts from Perpetua's own diary, her visions before her martyrdom, and the fierce faith these women displayed under extreme pressure.Wherever you're celebrating Christmas this year — whether surrounded by unbelieving family or facing subtle (or not-so-subtle) hostility — this episode will anchor your courage and lift your eyes to Christ.If this series has blessed you, please share it.

Ryle, one of my absolute favourites. ⁓ A pastor, writer, Anglican bishop, and a man who knew suffering closely — which honestly makes his pastoral tone feel so real and grounded.We walk through the back half of his tract Christmas Thoughts, where he lists the kinds of thoughts true Christians should have of Christ: • high thoughts • trustful thoughts • experiential thoughts • loving and reverent thoughts • hopeful thoughts…and then he lands the whole thing with the simple but confronting question: “What do YOU think of Christ?”This one is rich, comforting, convicting, and honestly one of my favourites of the month.https://www.jcryle.info/p/home_21.htmlFollow @hertheology on Instagram & YouTube.

Ocean fishing brings its own thrill—strong fish, steady currents, and the satisfying moment when a line is cast out over the water. That same imagery reminds us of the invitation God gives His people: to release every burden, fear, and worry into His care. In this episode, the act of casting becomes a picture of letting go—trusting the Savior who willingly carries the weight we were never meant to hold. Join us as we reflect on the peace and freedom found when we cast our cares on Christ.-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------DONATE: https://evidence4faith.org/give/ WEBSITE: https://evidence4faith.org/NEWSLETTER: http://eepurl.com/hpazV5BOOKINGS: https://evidence4faith.org/bookings/CONTACT: Evidence 4 Faith, 349 Knights Ave Kewaskum WI 53040 , info@evidence4faith.orgMy goal is that their hearts, having been knit together in love, may be encouraged, and that they may have all the riches that assurance brings in their understanding of the knowledge of the mystery of God, namely, Christ, in whom are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge. - Colossians 2:2-3REDITS: Developed & Hosted by Michael Lane.

Send us a text** CORRECTION - I say Poem in the recording, I meant to say  hymn!Day 9 of our Advent series is here! Today, we reflect on what it truly means to give God our all. Inspired by the words of Hannah Moore, a remarkable 18th-century Christian writer and social reformer, we're challenged to serve God with excellence, to steward our time, energy, and resources well, and to glorify Him in everything we do.Hannah Moore's wisdom reminds us that even in the busyness of Christmas—wrapping gifts, attending events, and navigating daily life—we can choose to act with intention, love, and devotion. It's a call to not give 50%, but to give everything God deserves.Wherever you find yourself this season—single or married, mourning or rejoicing, rich or poor—this devotional is an invitation to pause, reflect, and give God your all.Resources & Links:Download your free Advent PDF at hertheology.com/resourcesOriginal writings referenced in the episode available https://hymnary.org/text/around_a_table_not_a_tombFollow & Subscribe: Stay updated with Her Theology on YouTube, Instagram, and your favorite podcast platforms.Follow @hertheology on Instagram & YouTube.

Send us a textWelcome to Day 8 of our Advent series! Today we're digging into a deeply challenging, deeply needed word from 1600s Puritan preacher Thomas Watson — a man of conviction, imagery, and clarity.Watson argues that Christians should be marked by cheerfulness. Not forced positivity. Not fake smiles. But a settled, Spirit-anchored joy that springs from the eternal hope Christ has secured.In this episode we explore: ✨ Why Christians throughout history urged one another toward cheerfulness ✨ The tension between real mental health struggles and biblical joy ✨ How modern culture often normalizes staying stuck in discouragement ✨ The powerful imagery Watson uses to call believers higher ✨ What it looks like to “serve the Lord with gladness” in this seasonThis devotional is honest, challenging, and ultimately full of hope. And if you missed yesterday's episode from Matthew Henry — go back! His 42 promises of God make today's reflection even richer.

Send us a textJonathan Edwards joins us today — well, his words do — to help us see why Jesus had to take on human flesh. As we wrap up our Incarnation focus for week one, we're looking at the purpose behind Christ becoming fully God and fully man, and why redemption demanded that He obey and suffer as a human in order to fulfill the law.Edwards gives three powerful reasons why Jesus couldn't save us as “only God,” couldn't come as an angel, and why the Incarnation is actually the greatest event in the history of the world.Today we explore: ✨ Why the divine nature alone couldn't suffer or obey ✨ Why the law had to be fulfilled by the same nature that failed ✨ Why the punishment for sin required a human substitute ✨ Why God chose the same world where we fell to be the world where redemption unfoldedThis is such a rich reminder that Christmas is not just about a baby in a manger — it's about the perfect obedience, the perfect sacrifice, and the perfect Savior who fulfilled the law on our behalf.Tomorrow: Matthew Henry's 42 promises that belong to every believer in Christ.

Hiiii GGB!   In today's episode we talk about the incredible love and grace God has for us and how He meets us in every season.

Some Christmas memories arrive wrapped in nostalgia. Others arrive wrapped in ache. Rachel Wojo shares a tender story of opening her parents’ old nativity set—one that carried decades of meaning. As she unwrapped each figurine, the gap between the serene scene in her hands and the messy reality of her life felt impossibly wide. Many of us feel that gap at Christmastime. The nativity scenes we display look peaceful:Mary is calm.Joseph confident.The shepherds composed.Baby Jesus is quiet and glowing. But the real manger wasn’t polished or picturesque: It smelled like livestock. It echoed with labor pains. It held a newborn King in a feeding trough. It was full of fear, sweat, uncertainty, and miracles wrapped in humble cloth. The beauty of the manger is not that it was perfect—it’s that God entered the imperfect. Luke tells us the shepherds’ announcement left people “amazed”—a word meaning wonderstruck, stunned, stopped in their tracks. Not because circumstances were ideal, but because God Himself had stepped into the world through the messy, the ordinary, and the unexpected. We often think God will meet us once our life feels more peaceful, more put-together, more “holiday ready.” But the manger whispers another truth: God does His most breathtaking work in the low places.God shows up in stables.Glory often comes wrapped in straw, fear, and the unplanned. If this season feels far from picture-perfect—if grief, transition, financial strain, illness, or loneliness shadow your December—remember this: The first Christmas was not perfect.But Emmanuel came anyway. And He still does. Bible Reading:“And all who heard it were amazed at what the shepherds said to them.” – Luke 2:18 (NIV) Takeaway Truths The real nativity scene was messy, imperfect, and full of holy wonder. God is present when life is not peaceful or predictable. The manger reminds us that Christ enters the world right into our mess. We rediscover wonder when we stop trying to make life perfect and start looking for God in what’s real. Let’s Pray Heavenly Father, Thank You for being the God who enters stables and brings glory into the lowest places. Thank You that You do not wait for perfection before You draw near. Forgive me for believing You need my life to be tidy before You can work in it. Help me rediscover the wonder of the manger—the miracle of Perfect Love entering an imperfect world. For everyone whose holiday season feels broken, empty, or nothing like the pictures, remind them that You are the God who specializes in the unexpected places. When I’m tempted to hide my mess, remind me that You came through one.Thank You that no situation is too humble, too painful, or too chaotic for You to enter with transforming love. In the name of Jesus, who still comes to us in the low places,Amen.

The SSPX Podcast is produced by Angelus Press, which has as its mission the fortification of traditional Catholics so that they can defend the Faith, and reaching out to those who have not yet found Tradition.  – – – – – – What is the SSPX? The main goal of the Society of Saint Pius X is to preserve the Catholic Faith in its fullness and purity, to teach its truths, and to diffuse its virtues, especially through the Roman Catholic priesthood. Authentic spiritual life, the sacraments, and the traditional liturgy are its primary means of bringing this life of grace to souls. Although the traditional Latin Mass is the most visible and public expression of the work of the Society, we are committed to defending Catholic Tradition in its entirety: all of Catholic doctrine and morals as the Church has always defended them. What people need is the Catholic Faith, without compromise, with all the truth and beauty which accompanies it. https://sspx.org
