In this opening episode of our new series, Winter of the Soul, Dr. John Snyder reads from and reflects on this short but deeply revealing letter.

May this coming year be one of rich spiritual blessing to your soul…

Christ is the only human to fully experience the weight of temptation, yet He never yielded.

God, even He, descends. No thunder-bolt is in His hands. No avenging angels follow to sweep the rebels into perdition. The voice which speaks is the voice of mercy. The tidings which are brought, are the tidings of deliverance.

Dr. John Snyder is joined again by Jordan Thomas to slow down, look closely, and recover the awe that Scripture invites us to feel as we consider the eternal Son taking on human flesh.

In this episode, Jordan and John explore the mystery of the incarnation of Christ.

Do not go back to your feelings, or experiences, or evidences, in order to extract from them a renewal of your lost peace. Go straight back to the free love of God.

In this week’s episode, Dr. John Snyder welcomes pastor and author Jeremy Walker to discuss his new devotional, A Word in Season: 50 Days of Hope for Hard Times.

Our only hope is to look away from ourselves to Christ, who has done all. The gospel is not a work for us to perform but a message for us to receive.

This year marks the 1,700th anniversary of the Nicene Creed. In anticipation of that historic milestone, we are returning to one of the most influential works in early church history: Athanasius’s On the Incarnation.

Read books that stretch both your heart and your understanding—balancing the objective truths of God’s Word with the personal experiences of His people.

God’s will and God’s ways are a great mystery, but I know that whatever he wills or permits is of necessity for my good.

n this final episode on John Newton’s Letters to Mrs. —, Dr. John Snyder explores Newton’s tender counsel to a believer walking through prolonged difficulty.

In this letter, written in 1769, Newton encourages a Christian woman facing health difficulties and spiritual isolation.

Though you be never so devout, zealous, earnest, and constant in prayer, yet it is in Christ only that you must be heard and accepted.

God’s love is both merciful and wise, allowing what is necessary to purify, teach, and strengthen His children.

As we draw nearer to God, two things are brought more into focus: his holiness and our sinfulness.

This week, we return to our series on Christian letters from history.
