Episode Description

In this episode, we read from Sayings in Which Luther Found Comfort—a collection of Holy Scripture passages that sustained Martin Luther during seasons of deep spiritual trial.


Luther knew the terror of an accusing conscience. He knew Anfechtung—spiritual assault, despair, fear of death, and the crushing weight of sin. And in those hours, he did not look inward. He clung to the Word of Christ.


These are the promises that steadied him:

• The forgiveness of sins

• The righteousness of Christ given freely

• The certainty of Baptism

• The triumph of the Gospel over accusation


If you struggle with doubt, guilt, anxiety, or spiritual exhaustion, this reading is for you.


Christ for you. That is the comfort.
