Send us a textWhat is the greatest gift we receive at Christmas?In this Day 20 Advent devotional, Cass explores the joy of the gospel through the words of William Tyndale (1494–1536) — the man who translated the Bible into English so that everyone, from ploughboy to king, could read God’s Word.Tyndale describes the gospel using the Greek word Evangelion — good, merry, glad, and joyful tidings — news so wonderful it makes the heart leap for joy. This episode reflects on why the gospel is not merely information, tradition, or religion, but the good news of freedom, forgiveness, and life in Christ.Tyndale reminds us that Christ has fought and conquered sin, death, and the devil, and that all who believe are given His righteousness, His life, and His salvation — not by merit, but by grace.As we approach Christmas, this devotional calls us to refocus our hearts on what truly brings joy, and to boldly share this good news with our families, friends, neighbours, and communities.In this episode, you’ll hear:Why the gospel is called “joyful tidings”How Christ’s victory brings true freedom and happinessWhy the gospel alone satisfies the human heartA powerful reminder of the cost paid to give us Scripture in our own languageA call to live — and share — the joy of salvation this Christmas📖 Full text source https://archive.org/details/doctrinaltreatis0000tynd/page/20/mode/2up 🌿 Part of the Her Theology Advent series: Daily Devotions with Dead PeopleFollow @hertheology on Instagram & YouTube.

Send us a textDay 19 of Daily Devotions With Dead People — Her Theology’s Christmas Advent SeriesWhat does it actually mean to be happy as a Christian?In this episode, we hear from J.C. Ryle, one of the most pastorally wise voices of church history, as he tackles a question the world still asks today: Who is the truly happy person?Having endured immense personal grief — including the loss of three wives — Ryle does not speak from theory, but from lived experience. In this devotional, he dismantles the world’s shallow definitions of happiness and presents a far richer, deeper vision: a joy rooted in Christ that survives suffering, grief, sickness, loss, and uncertainty.You’ll hear Ryle explain:Why the true Christian is the only truly happy personHow peace of conscience changes everythingWhy happiness is not the absence of sorrowHow joy in Christ remains even when life is hardPractical ways believers can grow in joy, gratitude, and usefulnessThis is not sentimental optimism. It is grounded, biblical, hard-won joy — the kind that can carry you through Christmas pressures, family tensions, exhaustion, and sorrow.If you’re feeling weary, distracted, discouraged, or joyless this season, this episode is for you.📖 Featured author: J.C.

Send us a textWhat does it actually mean to love as Christ loved?In Day 18 of Daily Devotions with Dead People – Christmas Advent, Cass from Her Theology shares a deeply confronting and searching devotional from Amy Carmichael, an Irish missionary who served in India for 55 years and rescued countless young girls from temple exploitation.Amy Carmichael’s reflection, Calvary Love, is not sentimental or soft. It is a heart-examining series of statements that expose how easily our love falls short of the love displayed at the cross. Again and again she presses the question: “If this is true of me, do I really know Calvary love?”This episode invites listeners to slow down, examine their hearts, and measure their lives not by intention, emotion, or comfort — but by the self-giving, sacrificial love of Christ shown at Calvary.You’ll hear:Who Amy Carmichael was and why her life still speaks powerfully todayWhat “Calvary love” truly looks like in everyday relationshipsWhy conviction is not condemnation, but an invitation to transformationHow fixing our eyes on the cross reshapes how we love, serve, forgive, and sufferThis is a challenging episode — intentionally so. But it is also deeply hopeful. Calvary love is not something we manufacture. It is something we return to again and again, allowing Christ’s love to form us.If you’ve ever felt uncomfortable reading devotionals that feel too gentle, this one may be exactly what your soul needs.📖 Full text of Calvary Love is link https://womenofchristianity.com/if-part-2-calvary-love-by-amy-carmichael/ 🎄 Part of the Daily Devotions with Dead People – Christmas Advent Series 🎧 New episodes released daily throughout AdventFollow @hertheology on Instagram & YouTube.

Send us a textWhere does the soul find true satisfaction? How can we know we are truly saved? And what does lasting joy in Christ actually look like?In this Christmas Advent devotional, Cass from Her Theology introduces us to Anne Dutton — one of the most prolific and courageous female theologians of the 18th century. Born in 1692, Dutton wrote extensively to encourage believers struggling with doubt, fear, and assurance of faith.In this episode, Cass reads from a powerful letter Anne Dutton wrote to a brother in the faith who was wrestling with whether he truly belonged to Christ. With remarkable warmth and theological depth, Dutton explains how a changed heart, new desires, and growing dissatisfaction with worldly pleasures point to the regenerating work of God.More than that, she lifts our eyes to the beauty of Christ Himself — the One who alone can satisfy the soul, fill it with joy, and assure believers of His unfailing love.This devotional is part of Daily Devotions with Dead People – Christmas Edition, a series designed to help believers slow down, reflect deeply, and rejoice in Christ during Advent.Topics covered:Assurance of salvationRegeneration and new spiritual desiresJoy found only in ChristChristian hope in dark timesEncouragement for weary believers✨ Subscribe for daily Advent devotionals 📖 Learn more at hertheology.com 📩 Share this episode with someone needing encouragementFollow @hertheology on Instagram & YouTube.
