• Dealing with Shame - Enter the Throne of Grace: Octavius Winslow - Daily Devotions with Dead People

  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📖 Author: Octavius Winslow (1808–1878)https://www.grace-ebooks.com/library/Octavius%20Winslow/OW_Morning%20Thoughts.pdfFollow @hertheology on Instagram & YouTube.

• Facing Family Pushback This Christmas? Meet Perpetua & Felicity - Daily Devotions with Dead People

  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. I'm considering making this its own podcast in 2026, what do you think? I would love to hear from you -   [email protected] @hertheology on Instagram & YouTube.

• True Christians Think Highly of Christ - JC Ryle: Daily Devotions with Dead People

  Send us a textWelcome back to Daily Devotions With Dead People — Her Theology’s Advent series where church history isn’t boring and dead guys aren’t silent.Today we’re hanging out with J.C. 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.
