Today, we explore John Owen’s “Communion with God” (1657). This work profoundly reflects the believer’s privilege of fellowship with the Triune God—Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Owen writes of all believers' joy of approaching the Father with reverence, the peace in the Son’s atonement, and the love stirred in our hearts by the Spirit. Discover how this communion transforms prayer, Scripture, and worship into a foretaste of heaven, drawing us deeper into God’s love and grace.

In this episode, we explore John Bunyan’s “The Pilgrim’s Progress” (1678), and the powerful allegory of Christian’s journey to salvation. From the burden of sin falling off of his back at the cross of Christ to the joy of being clothed in the righteousness of Christ, Bunyan powerfully illustrates the transforming power of grace. Today, reflect on what it means to leave behind the old self and walk in the newness of life in Christ that He offers to all who follow Him.  

In this episode, we explore the beauty and worth of Christ through the words of Thomas Watson’s “The Godly Man’s Picture” (1666). Watson portrays Christ as the joy of the saints, the wonder of angels, and the treasure of every believer's heart.  Join us as we reflect on what it means to treasure Christ above all—finding in Him our ultimate satisfaction, delight, and love. Be encouraged and challenged by Watson’s depiction of Christ’s grace and the call to value Him above the fleeting treasures of this world. Is Christ truly precious to you?
