  • Fanny Crosby
    Welcome back toĀ Heroes of the Faith, a podcast from Free Grace Press where we uncover the incredible lives of believers who shaped history through their unshakable trust in God. In this episode, we dive into the extraordinary life of Fanny Crosby, a woman who, despite losing her sight as a baby, saw the world with a vision far greater than most of us could imagine. Known as one of the greatest hymn writers in Christian history, Fanny authored over 8,000 hymns, including timeless classics like "Blessed Assurance," "To God Be the Glory," "Pass Me Not, O Gentle Savior," and "Rescue the Perishing." We trace her journey from her upbringing in rural New York, where she was raised by her devout mother and grandmother, to her education at the prestigious New York Institute for the Blind. Here, Fanny's gift for poetry and song flourished, leading her to become the first woman ever to speak in the U.S. Senate. Despite facing immense personal loss and hardshipā€”including the early death of her childā€”Fannyā€™s faith only deepened, launching her into a lifelong mission of hymn writing and ministry. We also explore Fannyā€™s incredible memory, her passion for serving the poor in New York Cityā€™s slums, and her collaboration with famous hymn tune composers of the time. A national treasure by the time of her passing in 1915, Fannyā€™s legacy remains alive in the countless hymns sung in churches around the world today. Join us as we celebrate Fanny Crosbyā€™s legacyā€”a life marked by joy, generosity, and an unwavering dedication to Christ. Her story is a powerful reminder that God can use anyone, regardless of circumstances, to bring light to the world. If Fanny could see the face of Jesus through blindness, how much more can we learn to see Him through her hymns? Be encouraged, inspired, and challenged to live with the same courage and conviction that defined her life.

  • Charles Spurgeon: Part 2
    Welcome back to Heroes of the Faith, brought to you by Free Grace Press! In todayā€™s exciting episode, we continue our deep dive into the life and ministry of one of Christianityā€™s most celebrated figuresā€”Charles Spurgeon. In part two of this multi-episode series, we pick up where we left off, exploring Spurgeonā€™s rise from humble beginnings to becoming the ā€œPrince of Preachersā€ by the age of 20. From delivering his first sermon unexpectedly to establishing himself as one of Englandā€™s most renowned voices in the pulpit, Spurgeonā€™s journey is marked by Godā€™s providence and incredible faith. This episode covers key moments that shaped his early ministry, including the challenges Spurgeon faced as a young preacher in a time of revival and spiritual need. Weā€™ll look at his steadfast commitment to gospel-centered preaching, the incredible depth of his theological knowledgeā€”rooted in Puritan writingsā€”and his extraordinary memory that allowed him to recall vast amounts of Scripture and Puritan quotes. Weā€™ll also dive into some lesser-known aspects of his early ministry, such as how Spurgeon was ā€œtrickedā€ into delivering his first sermon at the age of 16, how he began preaching across small villages, and how within five short years he became one of the most sought-after preachers in England. Spurgeonā€™s early years were not without their struggles. He faced fierce criticism, even from fellow ministers, as well as internal battles with self-doubt and depression, all while navigating his role as a young pastor in a struggling church. Despite the challenges, Spurgeonā€™s influence grew rapidly. This episode reveals how he stayed faithful to his calling, how his commitment to holy living set him apart, and how he battled the widespread antinomianism (the belief that Christians are not bound to follow moral law) of his day. Through it all, Spurgeonā€™s deep love for the gospel, his compassionate heart, and his pastoral care shined brightly. As we continue to unpack his legacy, youā€™ll learn more about the foundational principles that drove his ministry, his intense preparation, and the early sermons that set the stage for his rise as one of historyā€™s most impactful Christian leaders. Weā€™ve only just begun to scratch the surface of Spurgeonā€™s life. Stay tuned as we uncover more about his enduring legacy, his eventual move to London, and his establishment as a giant of the Christian faith. There is much more to explore in the life of Charles Spurgeon, and weā€™ll continue our journey in part three, where weā€™ll delve deeper into his ministryā€™s expansion and how he responded to the immense criticism he faced. Thank you for joining us on Heroes of the Faith. Be sure to subscribe, share this episode with others, and visit freegracepress.com for more inspiring resources and materials. Stay tuned for part three as we continue exploring the life of Charles Spurgeon, a man used mightily by God to shape the course of church history. Until next time, keep pressing on in the faith!
