Resources

Some of my favorite Christian resources:

  • https://wretched.org/Wretched Radio podcast and Wretched TV – Freely available content from the Wretched Radio podcast with Todd Friel hosting (including street witnessing encounters every Wednesday). You may also find archived episodes of both the podcast and the Wretched TV program covering many theological topics. This evangelistic ministry is a great one to support and to learn about sharing your faith.
  • https://www.livingwaters.com/Living Waters has many articles and downloads available for free. There is also a YouTube channel at You Tube – Way of the Master Like Wretched, this is a great ministry to get equipped for evangelism.
  • Blue Letter Bible – One of my favorite sites for Bible reading and Bible commentaries. They have a mobile app (available for both iOS and Android) that I have used almost daily for Bible reading and study.  
  • The Knowledge of the Holy by A.W. Tozer — I was able to find a free audio book download rental of this resource from my local library. 
  • Grace Abounding to the Chief of Sinners by John Bunyan — Read free at Gutenberg.org or download the free Kindle version. The book is in the public domain, so you may be able to download it for free from your library’s website also.
  •  I’ve found Puritan authors’ books for free or very low cost available to download from the Kindle store at Amazon.com as well. Check out your library’s app offerings for free downloads, too. My library uses the Libby app for both ebooks and audiobooks (Libby by Overdrive).

  • Bible Reading Plan – binge reading! Here’s a link to my 35 Day Bible Reading. If you’ve never quickly read through the Bible in a short amount of time, I highly recommend doing it at least once! Plan: https://docs.google.com/drawings/d/1rJWe5GyVK9iELlgNQTwvtOzjs5VFujWb-ZISOI3qX88/edit?usp=sharing
  • For more free reading from your library, I’ve found another app that may connect to your local library’s catalogue (for US readers). There aren’t a ton of good, spiritual readings available from my local library, but sometimes you can find solid selections there available as ebooks or audiobooks for loan. In addition to the Libby app, mentioned above, there’s now Hoopla digital https://www.hoopladigital.com/
  • The Living Waters podcast has been a great way to redeem the time when traveling for work. The Living Waters Podcast covers serious Christian topics but there are A LOT of laughs, too. It’s not often that I actually laugh out loud listening to a podcast in the car alone but these guys are great together and clearly enjoy themselves with this podcast.
  • My local library offers resources on the Hoopla app, and I found C.S. Lewis’ Space Trilogy is available for an audiobook rental: Out of the Silent Planet, Perelandra, and That Hideous Strength were all available. If you’ve only read the non-fiction work of C.S. Lewis, you may enjoy these sci-fi works as well. Check out the website or app to see if your library has offerings there. You’ll need to enter your library card details, too.
    • I just noticed upon browsing that Church History 101 by Sinclair B. Ferguson, Joel R. Beeke, and Michael A.G. Haykin is available too.
  • How often do you or those around you want to know the will of God for a particular situation? This sermon titled Modern Spirituality and Your Mind by Voddie Baucham may surprise or unsettle you, but it addresses some flawed ways that Christian may seek God’s will:
  • Prayer apps:
    • Prayer Mate – This app has been a great help to me in remembering all of the prayer requests of family, friends, and church.
    • Five Psalms – An app to assist you in praying the Bible, using a choice of five different Psalms each day. I wrote more about it in this post.
