The School of Suffering

Hearts Aflame ·

2025/11/20

From Thomas Case’s "A Treatise of Afflictions," this episode explores suffering as the school where God refines His children for glory. Trials are not signs of rejection but proof of divine love. The hand that wounds also heals, and every sanctified tear becomes wisdom. When the believer submits to God in hardship, suffering becomes the very place where grace grows deepest.

A Peaceful Heart

Hearts Aflame ·

2025/11/19

In this episode, we meditate on Samuel Ward’s "A Coal from the Altar to Kindle Holy Fire" and the inward peace that comes not from prosperity but from purity. A quiet conscience is a continual feast. When we surrender outcomes to God and trust His fatherly care, we discover a peace no storm can shake and a rest no circumstance can steal.

Communion with Christ

Hearts Aflame ·

2025/11/18

This episode reflects on Samuel Rutherford’s "Letters" and the unmatchable joy of communion with Christ. His presence is the believer’s paradise — turning suffering into song and loss into gain. To walk closely with Christ is to taste heaven on earth. When we linger in His Word and prayer, His nearness becomes our peace, strength, and delight.

Christ’s Tenderness

Hearts Aflame ·

2025/11/17

In this episode, we draw from William Bridge’s "The Great Gospel Mystery of the Saints’ Comfort and Holiness" to rest in the gentleness of Christ toward weak and wounded believers. When faith feels faint and strength is gone, Jesus does not shame the trembling soul — He comforts, upholds, and carries it. His love stoops low, His compassion runs deep, and His grace shines brightest in our weakness.

Generous Living

Hearts Aflame ·

2025/11/14

From Thomas Gouge’s "The Poor Man’s Friend," this episode calls us to reflect on the mercy of God through generous living. Every act of kindness is a seed sown for eternity. True generosity flows from gratitude, as we remember how freely we have been loved and forgiven. The open hand and open heart preach the gospel more powerfully than words.

The Glory of God in All Things

Hearts Aflame ·

2025/11/13

Stephen Charnock’s "The Existence and Attributes of God" reminds us that the purpose of all creation — and of every believer’s life — is to glorify God. In this episode, we reflect on how every ordinary act can shine with eternal significance when done for His praise. True joy is found not in self-promotion but in living for God’s honor. To live for His glory is both our calling and our greatest happiness.

The Friendship of Christ

Hearts Aflame ·

2025/11/12

In this episode, we draw from Richard Sibbes’s "The Spouse: Her Earnest Desire after Christ" to explore the tender joy of Christ’s friendship. Jesus not only saves His people — He walks with them, comforts them, and calls them His friends. When others forget us, He remembers; when others leave, He stays. This is the sweetest truth of the Christian life: the Savior is also our closest Friend.

The Healing of Repentance

Hearts Aflame ·

2025/11/11

Richard Greenham’s "Treatise of Repentance" reminds us that repentance is not a one-time act but a daily grace, sorrow for sin that ends in the joy of forgiveness. In this episode, we consider how repentance restores fellowship with God and renews the heart. Every tear of contrition is met with the smile of a merciful Father. Repentance isn’t God’s punishment; it’s His invitation to healing.

Loving Christ

Hearts Aflame ·

2025/11/10

In this episode, we reflect on Christopher Love’s "Heaven’s Glory, Hell’s Terror" and the surpassing joy of loving Christ. Love is the soul’s highest grace — the fire that fuels obedience and the bond that holds every virtue together. The world may call it folly, but heaven calls it wisdom. The more we love Christ, the more we become like Him, and the more He fills our hearts with His presence.

An Unrepentant Heart

Hearts Aflame ·

2025/11/07

Robert Bolton’s "General Directions for a Comfortable Walking with God" warns of the great danger of a hardened heart. In this episode, we explore the gift of repentance — the grace that turns sorrow for sin into joy in Christ. True repentance is not mere emotion but transformation: hating what once pleased us and loving what once wearied us. Delay hardens the heart, but repentance restores tenderness and peace.

God Speaks in Affliction

Hearts Aflame ·

2025/11/06

Joseph Caryl’s "Exposition on Job" teaches that God often speaks most clearly through suffering. In this episode, we consider how affliction becomes a divine conversation — the Lord’s way of calling us to deeper faith and clearer vision. The same hand that humbles us also heals us. When God removes comfort, it is to give greater sight of His majesty and mercy. Blessed is the one who listens when God speaks through pain.

A Praying Spirit

Hearts Aflame ·

2025/11/05

In this episode, we turn to Matthew Henry’s "A Method for Prayer" to rediscover the strength and sweetness of a praying life. Prayer is the breath of the soul — the believer’s constant communion with God. It refreshes faith, brings peace to troubled hearts, and fills ordinary days with heavenly power. The Christian who lives much in secret prayer carries the presence of God wherever he goes.

The Beauty of a Heaven-Fixed Mind

Hearts Aflame ·

2025/11/04

Nathaniel Ranew’s "Solitude Improved by Divine Meditation" reminds us that peace comes when the soul looks heavenward. In this episode, we explore the beauty of a mind fixed on eternal things — a heart that retreats from the world’s noise to commune with God. Meditation on the glory of Christ and the promises of Scripture leaves the fragrance of heaven on our souls. When our minds dwell above, we walk through this world with greater strength, clarity, and joy.

The Reward of a Holy Life

Hearts Aflame ·

2025/11/03

In this episode, we reflect on John Reynolds’s "The Triumph of Godliness" and the joy that holiness brings to the believer. Godliness is not a burden but a blessing — the path of peace in this life and the promise of glory in the next. The world may scorn holiness, but only the godly truly know happiness. Each act of obedience carries its own reward: a clear conscience, a joyful heart, and the smile of God.

A Spiritual War

Hearts Aflame ·

2025/10/31

William Gurnall’s “The Christian in Complete Armour” reminds us that every believer is a soldier in a spiritual war — but one armed with heaven’s own armor. In this episode, we explore the strength and sufficiency of God’s provision for His people: truth, righteousness, faith, salvation, and the Word. Victory belongs not to our power but to our Captain, Christ Jesus. Stand firm, take up your armor, and fight the good fight with courage and grace.

The Sweetness of Submission

Hearts Aflame ·

2025/10/30

In this episode, we meditate on Samuel Rutherford’s “Letters” and his tender reflections on submission to God’s providence. True peace is found not in having our way, but in trusting His. Every disappointment carries a message of love; every cross conceals a crown. To bow beneath the will of God is not defeat but liberty — the liberty of a soul at rest in a Father’s care.

The Crown of Humility

Hearts Aflame ·

2025/10/29

Thomas Brooks’ “The Unsearchable Riches of Christ” teaches that humility is the crown of grace and the fragrance of holiness. In this episode, we consider the beauty of the lowly heart — a heart that gives God all the glory and takes none for itself. The humble believer walks in peace, expects nothing yet rejoices in mercy, and delights to see Christ exalted above all. To lie low before God is not humiliation but honor, for it is the posture of those most near to His heart.

The Pilgrim’s Progress of the Soul

Hearts Aflame ·

2025/10/28

From John Bunyan’s “The Pilgrim’s Progress,” this episode captures the essence of the Christian journey — a pilgrimage from the City of Destruction to the Celestial City. The road is narrow and often steep, yet it leads to glory. Along the way we meet trials, companions, and divine mercies that strengthen our faith. The pilgrim’s hope is not in the ease of the path but in the certainty of the destination, where every weary traveler will be welcomed home by the King.

Communion with God

Hearts Aflame ·

2025/10/27

In this episode, we reflect on John Owen’s “Of Communion with God the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost” — a timeless meditation on the believer’s fellowship with the Triune God. Communion with God is not a momentary experience but a continual exchange of divine love and human devotion. When we walk closely with Him, every duty becomes delight and every moment sacred. This is the heart of the Christian life: to live daily in the joy of God’s presence.

The Faithfulness of God to His People

Hearts Aflame ·

2025/10/24

Obadiah Sedgwick’s "The Bowels of Tender Mercy Sealed in the Everlasting Covenant" reminds us that God’s faithfulness is the believer’s anchor. His covenant love does not waver with our weakness, for it rests on His own unchanging character. In this episode, we rejoice in a God who keeps His promises, perfects His work, and preserves His people. The covenant that began in mercy will end in glory.
