Her Theology

Send us Fan MailGet your tickets to see Alastair live in Sydney, Wednesday 17th June - https://singleminded.community/?event=cross-relatedOn this episode of Her Theology,  I'm joined by theologian, writer and cultural commentator Alastair Roberts to explore how the Gospel transforms our understanding of relationships, community, identity and the church.We live in a culture marked by loneliness, isolation, fractured families, digital connection without true community, and growing confusion around identity and belonging. So how should Christians think about relationships in a deeply individualistic age?Together we discuss:how modern culture has reshaped relationshipsthe rise of autonomy and radical individualismloneliness and isolation in the digital agehow technology and social media affect communitywhy human beings are relational by designthe church as the household and family of Godthe Gospel’s power to restore broken relationshipsfriendship, marriage and community in Scriptureembodied relationships vs online relationshipsrelationships between men and womengenerational relationships in the churchbiblical view of relationshipspatterns and themes throughout Scripture and relationshipshealing from church hurt and relational painwhy Christian community matters more than everAlastair explains how the Gospel doesn’t simply improve relationships — it fundamentally reorders them. From family and friendship to church and society, Christianity offers a radically different vision of what it means to belong, love, forgive, serve and live together as human beings made in the image of God.This conversation will especially resonate with those wrestling with:lonelinesschurch hurtisolationidentityfriendshipbroken familiesmodern dating cultureChristian communitydiscipleshipbelongingTopics Covered:Christian relationships, theology of relationships, Gospel and community, loneliness, church family, Christian friendship, biblical community, individualism, identity, modern culture, social media and isolation, discipleship, embodiment, church life, family, theology and culture.Resources & Links Mentioned:Cross Related X Single Minded Event - https://singleminded.community/?event=cross-relatedhttps://theopolisinstitute.com/https://davenantinstitute.org/https://podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/mere-fidelity/id885758537https://argosy.substack.com/https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCmkS1-6kt64WIHegj-h25_gFollow @hertheology on Instagram & YouTube. Head to hertheology.com to find out more.

Send us Fan MailWhat does it biblically look like to be a mum—especially when you’re tired, overwhelmed, and pulled in ten directions? Leah (Raising Disciples) talks practical discipleship, routines that reduce chaos, decision-making around work vs home, and a biblical framework for discipline that aims at restoration (not payback).Key takeawaysDiscipleship at home has two streams: explicit (Bible teaching) and implicit (culture, modelling, prayer, everyday life).“Consistently average” discipleship is often more faithful than sporadic intensity.Reading the 'actual' Bible with kids matters long-term: habit, exposure, and letting God’s Word do the work.Routine can be freeing when the goal is minimising chaos (not performing womanhood online).Work vs staying home isn’t a righteousness scoreboard—start with faithfulness, motives, and realistic time/energy.Discipline is necessary and often painful, but it should move toward restoration, not disconnection.Train (90%) + discipline (cements) beats living in constant consequence-mode.Timestamps00:00 Why this conversation (parenting pressure + new year intentions) 02:13 Meet Leah (4 kids; former children’s minister) 05:29 “Consistently average” discipleship (explicit vs implicit) 08:21 Reading the actual Bible with kids 15:16 Does organisation help discipleship? 20:39 Trad wives, pressure, and an “audience of one” 27:47 Working mum vs stay-at-home mum (biblical framework + realities) 49:14 Discipline: principles, pain, restoration, training 1:06:15 Practical changes for this year (simple, realistic)Scriptures referencedProverbs 13:24Hebrews 12 (esp. v9–11)LinksLeah on Instagram: Raising Disciples https://www.instagram.com/raising.disciples_/Jonathan Haidts substack - After Babel (lots of stats and info for parenting in todays in culture and the impacts) "These intuitions don’t even begin to resemble reality.

Send us Fan MailImpromptu episode that is a love letter to the Church as a whole. This is my heart. One for unity. And one for us to grow in discernment. In this episode, I address the growing exposure of cover-up culture, false prophecy, and spiritual abuse within parts of the modern church—particularly within charismatic and prophetic movements, though not limited to them.In light of recent investigations and public apologies, we examine the biblical difference between apology and repentance, what Scripture actually teaches about false teachers and fruit, and why Christians should not be surprised when wolves are revealed among the flock.This episode also speaks directly to:How to test teaching biblically without reacting in extremesWhy discernment matters in every denominationHow churches should prepare to care for those leaving abusive or deceptive movementsThe danger of itching ears, emotionalism, and biblical illiteracyWhy repentance must be visible, costly, and long-termScripture references include Matthew 7, Acts 20, Jeremiah 14 & 23, 2 Timothy 4, Proverbs 28, and 2 Peter 2.This is a sober but necessary call for the church to remain grounded in the whole counsel of God, faithful to truth, even when it costs.Follow @hertheology on Instagram & YouTube. Head to hertheology.com to find out more.

Send us Fan MailAs we reach the final day of our Christmas Advent series, we turn our eyes fully and finally to Jesus Himself.In this closing devotion, we sit with the seven “I Am” statements found in the Gospel of John — Jesus’ own words revealing who He is: the Bread of Life, the Light of the World, the Gate, the Good Shepherd, the Resurrection and the Life, the Way, the Truth and the Life, and the True Vine.Whether your Christmas season has been full or heavy, joyful or exhausting, this episode calls us back to what truly sustains us — Christ at the centre.As we prepare to step into a new year, we are reminded that Jesus is not only who we need at Christmas, but who we need every day.“Come to me, all who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.” (Matthew 11:28)Jesus says: Come to Me.📖 Scriptures from John 6, 8, 10, 11, 14, 15 & Matthew 11🎄 Advent Finale | Her TheologyFollow @hertheology on Instagram & YouTube. Head to hertheology.com to find out more.

Send us Fan MailChristmas can feel chaotic, exhausting, or even lonely — but what if the true joy of Christmas has nothing to do with how much you have or how well things are going? In today’s Advent devotional, Cass shares the closing portion of one of Charles Spurgeon’s Christmas sermons on Immanuel — God With Us. Spurgeon reminds us that Christianity is not about extravagance or empty tradition, but about the staggering reality that God has drawn near.Whether you are grieving, overwhelmed, far from family, or surrounded by noise and celebration, this truth remains: God is with you.In this episode, we explore:What Emmanuel truly means for everyday lifeWhy “God with us” is comfort for sufferers and terror for SatanHow Christians can feast and rejoice with little or muchWhy Christmas joy is rooted in Christ, not circumstancesThis episode is part of the Her Theology Advent series — where theology meets everyday life.Scripture-rich, Christ-centred, and deeply encouraging for the Christmas season.https://www.spurgeon.org/resource-library/sermons/the-birth-of-christFollow @hertheology on Instagram & YouTube. Head to hertheology.com to find out more.

Everything good, desirable, and eternal is found in Him, from Him, and through Him.This devotion is saturated in Scripture and invites us to treasure Christ rightly — not sentimentally, but deeply, joyfully, and faithfully.May this Christmas be marked by hearts that truly see the worth of Christ.https://www.crossway.org/articles/10-things-you-should-know-about-john-owen/?srsltid=AfmBOooJBEnXidx0RXbRaexvZesthIYs9wxSS7ZhOXkAWwUJQ47uMTCFhttps://archive.org/details/meditationsdisco00owen/page/n17/mode/2up🎧 Subscribe for daily Advent devotions with voices from church history.Her Theology — where theology meets everyday life.Follow @hertheology on Instagram & YouTube. Head to hertheology.com to find out more.

Send us Fan MailWhat does true worship actually look like?In Day 21 of our Advent series Daily Devotions with Dead People, we turn to Lucy Hutchinson (1620–1681) to reflect on worship as both internal and external—not just what we sing, but how we live, kneel, pray, and orient our whole selves before God.Lucy reminds us that worship without the heart is hypocrisy, but worship that claims to be “spiritual” while rejecting embodied obedience is only half-worship. True worship involves faith, reverence, love, posture, obedience, and joy—offered wholly to God as Creator, Redeemer, and Benefactor.As Christmas approaches, this episode invites us to examine how we worship privately and publicly, in church and at home, with both soul and body.📖 Text adapted and lightly modernised from The Principles of Christian Religion (public domain). 🔗 Original text https://archive.org/details/onprinciplesofch00hutc/page/216/mode/2upFollow @hertheology on Instagram & YouTube. Head to hertheology.com to find out more.

Send us Fan MailWhat is the greatest gift we receive at Christmas?In this Day 20 Advent devotional, Cass explores the joy of the gospel through the words of William Tyndale (1494–1536) — the man who translated the Bible into English so that everyone, from ploughboy to king, could read God’s Word.Tyndale describes the gospel using the Greek word Evangelion — good, merry, glad, and joyful tidings — news so wonderful it makes the heart leap for joy. This episode reflects on why the gospel is not merely information, tradition, or religion, but the good news of freedom, forgiveness, and life in Christ.Tyndale reminds us that Christ has fought and conquered sin, death, and the devil, and that all who believe are given His righteousness, His life, and His salvation — not by merit, but by grace.As we approach Christmas, this devotional calls us to refocus our hearts on what truly brings joy, and to boldly share this good news with our families, friends, neighbours, and communities.In this episode, you’ll hear:Why the gospel is called “joyful tidings”How Christ’s victory brings true freedom and happinessWhy the gospel alone satisfies the human heartA powerful reminder of the cost paid to give us Scripture in our own languageA call to live — and share — the joy of salvation this Christmas📖 Full text source https://archive.org/details/doctrinaltreatis0000tynd/page/20/mode/2up 🌿 Part of the Her Theology Advent series: Daily Devotions with Dead PeopleFollow @hertheology on Instagram & YouTube. Head to hertheology.com to find out more.

Ryle, one of the most pastorally wise voices of church history, as he tackles a question the world still asks today: Who is the truly happy person?Having endured immense personal grief — including the loss of three wives — Ryle does not speak from theory, but from lived experience. In this devotional, he dismantles the world’s shallow definitions of happiness and presents a far richer, deeper vision: a joy rooted in Christ that survives suffering, grief, sickness, loss, and uncertainty.You’ll hear Ryle explain:Why the true Christian is the only truly happy personHow peace of conscience changes everythingWhy happiness is not the absence of sorrowHow joy in Christ remains even when life is hardPractical ways believers can grow in joy, gratitude, and usefulnessThis is not sentimental optimism. It is grounded, biblical, hard-won joy — the kind that can carry you through Christmas pressures, family tensions, exhaustion, and sorrow.If you’re feeling weary, distracted, discouraged, or joyless this season, this episode is for you.📖 Featured author: J.C.

Send us Fan MailWhat does it actually mean to love as Christ loved?In Day 18 of Daily Devotions with Dead People – Christmas Advent, Cass from Her Theology shares a deeply confronting and searching devotional from Amy Carmichael, an Irish missionary who served in India for 55 years and rescued countless young girls from temple exploitation.Amy Carmichael’s reflection, Calvary Love, is not sentimental or soft. It is a heart-examining series of statements that expose how easily our love falls short of the love displayed at the cross. Again and again she presses the question: “If this is true of me, do I really know Calvary love?”This episode invites listeners to slow down, examine their hearts, and measure their lives not by intention, emotion, or comfort — but by the self-giving, sacrificial love of Christ shown at Calvary.You’ll hear:Who Amy Carmichael was and why her life still speaks powerfully todayWhat “Calvary love” truly looks like in everyday relationshipsWhy conviction is not condemnation, but an invitation to transformationHow fixing our eyes on the cross reshapes how we love, serve, forgive, and sufferThis is a challenging episode — intentionally so. But it is also deeply hopeful. Calvary love is not something we manufacture. It is something we return to again and again, allowing Christ’s love to form us.If you’ve ever felt uncomfortable reading devotionals that feel too gentle, this one may be exactly what your soul needs.📖 Full text of Calvary Love is link https://womenofchristianity.com/if-part-2-calvary-love-by-amy-carmichael/ 🎄 Part of the Daily Devotions with Dead People – Christmas Advent Series 🎧 New episodes released daily throughout AdventFollow @hertheology on Instagram & YouTube. Head to hertheology.com to find out more.

Send us Fan MailWhere does the soul find true satisfaction? How can we know we are truly saved? And what does lasting joy in Christ actually look like?In this Christmas Advent devotional, Cass from Her Theology introduces us to Anne Dutton — one of the most prolific and courageous female theologians of the 18th century. Born in 1692, Dutton wrote extensively to encourage believers struggling with doubt, fear, and assurance of faith.In this episode, Cass reads from a powerful letter Anne Dutton wrote to a brother in the faith who was wrestling with whether he truly belonged to Christ. With remarkable warmth and theological depth, Dutton explains how a changed heart, new desires, and growing dissatisfaction with worldly pleasures point to the regenerating work of God.More than that, she lifts our eyes to the beauty of Christ Himself — the One who alone can satisfy the soul, fill it with joy, and assure believers of His unfailing love.This devotional is part of Daily Devotions with Dead People – Christmas Edition, a series designed to help believers slow down, reflect deeply, and rejoice in Christ during Advent.Topics covered:Assurance of salvationRegeneration and new spiritual desiresJoy found only in ChristChristian hope in dark timesEncouragement for weary believers✨ Subscribe for daily Advent devotionals 📖 Learn more at hertheology.com 📩 Share this episode with someone needing encouragementFollow @hertheology on Instagram & YouTube. Head to hertheology.com to find out more.

Send us Fan MailWhat happens when we pray?Today, Octavius Winslow reminds us that we do not approach a throne of condemnation, fear, or shame — but the throne of grace.Drawing from Hebrews 4, this devotion explores what it means to come before a sovereign God who reigns — and yet welcomes the weak, the weary, the guilty, and the burdened.Winslow’s words are a gentle but firm correction to how we often misunderstand prayer. We don’t come with worthiness. We don’t earn an audience. We come because grace is already extended.This is an invitation to pray honestly, confidently, and without fear — because of Christ.Advent Daily Devotions with Dead People – Day 15📖 Author: Octavius Winslow (1808–1878)https://www.grace-ebooks.com/library/Octavius%20Winslow/OW_Morning%20Thoughts.pdfFollow @hertheology on Instagram & YouTube. Head to hertheology.com to find out more.

Send us Fan MailJonathan Edwards joins us today — well, his words do — to help us see why Jesus had to take on human flesh. As we wrap up our Incarnation focus for week one, we’re looking at the purpose behind Christ becoming fully God and fully man, and why redemption demanded that He obey and suffer as a human in order to fulfill the law.Edwards gives three powerful reasons why Jesus couldn’t save us as “only God,” couldn’t come as an angel, and why the Incarnation is actually the greatest event in the history of the world.Today we explore: ✨ Why the divine nature alone couldn’t suffer or obey ✨ Why the law had to be fulfilled by the same nature that failed ✨ Why the punishment for sin required a human substitute ✨ Why God chose the same world where we fell to be the world where redemption unfoldedThis is such a rich reminder that Christmas is not just about a baby in a manger — it’s about the perfect obedience, the perfect sacrifice, and the perfect Savior who fulfilled the law on our behalf.Tomorrow: Matthew Henry’s 42 promises that belong to every believer in Christ.📚 All original Jonathan Edwards works quoted today can be found free in the public domain — https://www.gutenberg.org/files/34632/34632-h/34632-h.htm#Page_78https://www.gutenberg.org/files/22542/22542-h/22542-h.htm 📩 Questions?

Send us Fan MailWhat 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.
