Day 4 of Daily Devotions With Dead People brings us to Charles Haddon Spurgeon — pastor, preacher, theologian, and one of the most influential voices in the modern church.

Today we’re exploring:

✨ The Trinity’s united work in salvation
 ✨ Why the Father sent the Son
✨ Why we must not separate the honour of the Father, Son, or Spirit
✨ The humility of Christ in the incarnation
✨ Spurgeon’s stunning imagery of Christ “disrobing” His glory to take on flesh

This devotional helps us slow down and see Christmas not just as a baby in a manger but as a breathtaking act of triune love — Father, Son, and Holy Spirit working in perfect unity for our redemption.

Welcome to day three of our Advent devotional series! 🎄

In Daily Devotions With Dead People, Her Theology brings church history to life in a fun, meaningful way. Today, we hear from Augustine, one of Christianity’s greatest thinkers, on the humility of the Incarnation.

Augustine reflects on how Jesus—the Son of God—took on human flesh, entering our broken, messy world to redeem us. From hunger and thirst to being tried and scourged, Christ humbled Himself in every way for our salvation. This devotion invites us to pause, reflect, and worship the incredible love and humility of our Savior this Christmas.

Tune in daily this December to explore more saints, theology, and Christmas reflections that point us to Christ.

Welcome to day two of our Advent devotional series! 🎄

In Daily Devotions With Dead People, Her Theology brings the wisdom of church history to life in a fun and meaningful way. Today, we hear from Athanasius, the “chief influencer” of the 4th century, as he guides us through the awe-inspiring mystery of the Incarnation of Christ—God becoming fully human while remaining fully divine.

We reflect on how Jesus, as Creator and Redeemer, took on human flesh yet sustained all creation, showing us humility, love, and the miraculous depth of God’s plan for salvation.

Tune in daily this December to explore more saints, theology, and Christmas reflections that point us to Christ.

What do you do when the church calls you the "black sheep"? How do you process trauma from the very place meant to be your safest haven? And how does grace—real, messy, unfiltered grace—transform both your pain and your purpose?

Duncan Robinson joins Cass for a raw, hilarious, and profoundly honest conversation about his new book Full Phoenix Rising—part memoir, part comedy, part biblical exploration of what it really means to follow Jesus when church has left deep wounds.

In this episode:

• Duncan's journey from being called a "black sheep" in youth group to becoming a Church of Christ pastor
• Why he left radio at 3:50 AM and never looked back
• The three types of prayer (including one most Protestants never practice)
• How to process church trauma while keeping the faith
• Why online church is like "porn for marriage" (Duncan's words, not ours!)
• The difference between being a grace receiver and a grace grower
• Reconciliation vs. honor/shame: What Jesus actually calls us to
• Late-onset charismatic gifts and why we're too scared to exercise them
• The woman at the well and what Jesus didn't do with her sin
• Why Australian banter is actually love (Americans, take note)

Fair warning: This conversation gets real. We're talking church hurt, denominational baggage, spiritual formation, and why the church is beautifully, frustratingly, necessarily messy.

If you've ever felt like you don't fit the Christian mold, if you're wrestling with deconstruction, or if you're just trying to figure out what it means to love Jesus AND his broken bride—this episode is for you.

Find Duncan's book Full Phoenix Rising at all major retailers (it hit #1 in Religious Comedy on Amazon!).

What happens when two Christians from different theological backgrounds sit down to discuss the topics most churches avoid? 

In this engaging conversation, Cass welcomes Matt from Post-PostModern Theology for a deep dive into philosophy, apologetics, and the cultural forces shaping modern Christianity.

Matt shares his journey from skeptical Greek Orthodox roots to apologetics, explaining how postmodernism has become the "cannibalistic" worldview eating itself alive—from transgender ideology contradicting feminism to Richard Dawkins becoming a "cultural Christian." But the conversation goes beyond cultural critique. 

Discover why Christians struggle to share their faith (hint: it's about counting the cost), how to have controversial conversations with grace, and why every single person—atheist or believer—lives by faith. Matt breaks down complex philosophical concepts like epistemology and presuppositional apologetics into practical wisdom for defending your beliefs.

The discussion takes controversial turns: Is Christian Zionism hurting the church? What did Jesus really mean in the Olivet Discourse? Why isn't communion mentioned in John's Last Supper account? Should Christians observe the Sabbath?

Throughout, both hosts model what they preach: respectful disagreement, intellectual humility, and a commitment to testing everything against Scripture. Whether you're reformed, Pentecostal, or somewhere in between, this conversation will challenge you to examine what you believe and why.

Key Topics:

• Postmodernism's impact on church and culture
• Apologetics methods (evidential vs presuppositional)
• Israel, eschatology, and end times theology
• The problem of Christian echo chambers
• Why the laws of logic prove immaterial reality exists
• Communion, Sabbath, and denominational differences

Perfect for: Christians seeking intellectual depth, anyone interested in apologetics, and believers ready to step outside their theological comfort zone.

Have you ever felt exhausted by the pressure to evangelise? Like you're failing because you haven't invited enough people to church or gotten enough "conversions for Jesus"? You're not alone—and you might be experiencing what I call "evangelism fatigue."

In this episode, I sit down with Pastor Rob Ventura, author of "Equipped to Evangelize," to strip away the clutter and rediscover what evangelism actually is according to Scripture. Rob brings refreshing clarity: evangelism isn't about numbers, events, or techniques—it's simply sharing the good news of Jesus Christ.

In this conversation, we explore:

• What the Bible actually says evangelism is (hint: it's simpler than you think)
• Why success in evangelism isn't about conversions, but faithfulness
• How Reformed theology actually motivates evangelism rather than hindering it
• The four essential components of the gospel message
• Why we need to talk about hell (and how love demands it)
• Practical wisdom on when to speak and when to wait
• The power of the Holy Spirit in evangelism
• How to overcome evangelism fatigue and guilt

About Rob Ventura: Rob Ventura is the pastor of Grace Community Baptist Church in Rhode Island and has been in full-time pastoral ministry for 18 years. He's been actively evangelizing for over 30 years, including open-air preaching in New York City. Rob is the author of several books including "Equipped to Evangelize: A biblical foundation' (Christian Focus Publications) and a commentary on Romans.

Resources mentioned:

• "Equipped to Evangelize" by Rob Ventura (Christian Focus Publications)
• Grace Community Baptist Church sermons (available on Sermon Audio)

If you're tired of feeling guilty about evangelism or wondering if you're doing it wrong, this conversation will encourage and equip you to share the gospel with fresh joy and biblical clarity.

In this crucial conversation, Cass sits down with Professor Patrick Parkinson, one of Australia's leading experts on family law and religious freedom, to discuss the rapidly changing legal landscape facing Christians in Australia.

Patrick, author of "Unshaken Allegiance," breaks down complex legal issues into practical wisdom every believer needs to understand. From anti-discrimination laws to hate speech legislation, from Christian schools' hiring rights to workplace challenges—this episode covers it all.

Key Topics Discussed:

• How Australia introduces 140+ laws per year (and why you need to pay attention)
• The real state of religious freedom in Australia vs. other countries like the UK
• What Christians can and cannot say publicly without legal consequences
• The OnlyFans teacher dilemma and anti-discrimination law expansion
• Victoria's controversial conversion therapy laws and prayer regulation
• When civil disobedience is biblically justified
• Practical wisdom: when to speak up, when to stay silent, and when to resist
• The power of "settling quickly" and avoiding unnecessary legal battles
• Why Australia's multicultural future requires protecting religious freedom NOW

Patrick shares eye-opening stories from his time in communist Czechoslovakia, his work with Freedom for Faith, and decades of experience navigating the intersection of faith and law. He offers hope, practical strategies, and biblical wisdom for living faithfully in an increasingly secular society.

Whether you're a church leader, Christian school administrator, business owner, or everyday believer, this episode will equip you to navigate these complex issues with wisdom, grace, and courage.
