    Clarity
    Things Unseen has added clarity to my Bible reading. There have been many verses I wonder about. You have brought clarity to so many concepts. It’s like chatting over a cup of coffee and listening to a cherished friend. I look forward to each week. My favorite episode is Simon of Cyrene. May you enjoy each day.

    My “Go-To”
    Need a moment in your busy day to catch your breath & turn your eyes upon Jesus? This podcast is that for me! Dr. Ferguson shares with the depth of a scholar, the heart of a pastor, and the humility of a sinner saved by grace. I never want to miss an episode!
  • Emery Russell
    Thank you, Brother!
    The Lord has used Sinclair Ferguson's humble walk with Christ to point me to the diamond of Jesus over and over again. When I have been too prideful to hear from those who have hurt me, his voice has broken through the fog of hatefulness in my heart and reminded me that the heart of the Father is only love and He is who we must imitate. Thank you fellow brother in Christ for faithfully portraying Jesus as the Light in a darkened place and encouraging the week with

    Perfect way to end your day
    I love to turn on one or two episodes of Things Unseen as I go to sleep. His warm, lilting Scottish accent speaking beautiful truths is like a balm to my soul. Every night, as the podcast ends, I am praising God, thanking him. It calms my mind and the worries of the day are given to The Lord as I sleep in peace. This has been a beautiful gift.

    Listen at 1.25x
    This podcast has been one of the greatest blessings in my life. Truly. Succinct. Powerful. Inspirational. And just plain great. BUT, do yourself a favor and listen to it at 1.25x. Sinclair has a tendency to speak on the slower side which for me cause me to drift off now and again. I have found 1.25x to be the perfect speed for his speaking timbre and cadence.

    Growing in the Things Unseen
    Sinclair Ferguson has been a light in the darkness & a lighthouse in the storm. Things Unseen guides towards & reminds of the way, truth & life of Jesus Christ making clear that Jesus & His commands is the only way to know, obey & submit to God the Father. Sinclair teaches through the fullness of God's Word with both the Old & New Testament. Each devotional episode leads closer to the question of Jesus & answer of Peter in Mark 8:29 ”And he asked them, “But who do you say that I am?” Peter answered him, “You are the Christ.” (ESV‬‬) Thank you to Sinclair & Ligonier for the steadfast encouragement of Things Unseen.

    Enlightened
    This is the second year in a row that I have listened to this pod cast . I look forward to it every Monday - Friday. How Sinclair Ferguson manages to get so much information in one podcast in six minutes or less is beyond my comprehension. I love it have sent it to many people is very enlightening and in depth.
  • Kyreserve
    No annoying music!
    Excellent short form podcast which focuses on the subject & not music which simply eats up time.

    Breath of fresh air
    -thank you for this podcast. So much wisdom in each episode. Thank you for not being afraid to contradict what the world is starting to accept. - suggestion added 12.14.23 I would love if the Bible references were used when you share scripture. I love to follow along and take notes. Even if you just put them in a list in the show notes I can have those ready to reference. Thanks again for this podcast. - update: Still love but I did realize today that it’s repeating each year. So now I’m hearing things I’ve already heard. Will you create new ones?
  • Dyrop
    Thank you.
    I listen every week night to your daily podcast. You have been my favorite speaker with Ligonier Ministries over the years. How wonderful to locate this daily broadcast! I so look forward to your voice speaking Biblical truths to us. You are a God send. Thank you and God bless you.

    So Encouraging
    I really enjoy this short podcast as a part of my morning routine. Ferguson gives a thoughtful and encouraging message every time.
  • Mandy 8:28
    Faithful Servant Leader
    Each workday morning I start my day with Pastor Ferguson. His gentle voice leads me to behold my Savior and Triune God with truth, thoughtfulness, often some humor, poignant insight, loving correction and always biblically accurate and Christ-focused. Thank you, kind sir. You are a treasure.

    Well Thought Out
    Things Unseen is a pleasure to listen to. The points made are straight forward and great to reflect on. This Podcast is well thought out and extremely well narrated. Sinclair’s voice is very pleasant to listen to. I highly recommend as a daily.

    Absolutely the Best
    This is absolutely the best thing in audio today—and I love long-form podcasts. But this blows everything else out of the water. Truly in the spirit of the Puritans, Ferguson pulls so much meaning, depth, wisdom, and joy out of such seemingly small details or passages of scripture.

    Balm to my heart & soul
    I’m so thankful for this podcast. I’ve been released from an abusive marriage in which my heart was crushed. I’ve always loved listening to Sinclair Ferguson’s sermons & his wisdom on the Scriptures. These podcasts bring to light insights & are delivered as a kindly & thoughtful conversation that calms my heart. I so appreciate them!!
  • Pelotonlady
    Thank you
    I love this podcast. It’s like a friend talking to you. The perfect way to start your day and keep your mind & heart focused on what truly matters… Jesus !
  • Ivy Jane
    A favorite
    I have loved this podcast from the very first day. Ferguson is like a special friend just talking with you about eternal things. Priceless. I really do wish the meditative music had not been added. I find it to be very distracting and disruptive of that special bond that has developed between the listeners and the kind friend who gently encourages and challenges us to keep our hearts tuned to Things Unseen.
  • im jus say'n
    That’s guod
    Today’s devotion was much needed. I’ve been stuck on the plot line for so long and it was guod to hear someone say it’s not as much the plot line as it is the reassurance. Thank you.💋⚔️🕊
  • BigDiez
    Always thought provoking
    These podcasts answer the call for us to “examine ourselves”. Rich with spiritual truth, wisdom and encouragement. Listen and be blessed!
  • Bella a2147
    Theologically Sound
    Scripturally based, encouraging , but most of all teaching how to live each day in a way that glorifies our Lord.
  • applewontletmereview
    Best 5 minutes of the day!
    The contemplative music, the Scottish accent, and the word of God help me to put on the mind of God each morning. Try it - you won’t be disappointed.
  • Delorian Drake
    Daily food for thought
    I thought it would be pleasant to hear a quick word of encouragement as I take a break throughout my day. Sinclair Ferguson has given me quite a bit to reflect upon in my own life. I especially appreciate hearing the thoughts of believers that have gone before and to gain their perspective on walking with God. Good stuff. Thank you!

    Things Unseen
    I don’t miss a day of this excellent and thoughtful conversation with Sinclair Ferguson. I term it a conversation because it seems that he’s at my kitchen table, or in an easy chair in my living room, sharing sound and profoundly relevant thoughts. Five stars don’t do it justice.

    Calming and Reflective
    I’m so sad to know this is ending as it’s been such a blessing. Dr. Ferguson is so calming to hear and his weekly themes are such a blessing.
  • LEWyatt
    My favorite morning routine
    I have been listening to this podcast since it first started last January. I listen to it every morning as I get ready. What a blessed 5-8 minutes! Every morning beautiful truths and promises from the scriptures are preached. This is my favorite morning routine! I cannot recommend it enough. Listen to it! Listen to it every day! And go back and listen to the ones you may have missed.
  • Jacob Langstaff
    Reflective Spiritual Guidance
    I am thankful for the work of Dr. Ferguson and Ligonier ministries. Perhaps this podcast’s greatest strengths are Dr. Ferguson’s humble, gracious tone, and his incisive questions which ask us to look deeply into ourselves and our walk with God, to examine ourselves in light of God’s word. It is a valuable addition to biblical study. If I could give one piece of constructive feedback: though every episode reflects biblical theology, Dr. Ferguson doesn’t always quote scripture directly. I would love to hear scripture quoted every time directly as a reminder of the foundation of the teaching. Thank you, Ligonier!
  • Danielle Dew
    Thank You
    Thank you for this podcast. I’ve listened to it in the mornings before going to work this year. I like how it is both concise and full of content. I also like how it follows a theme the whole week, giving the audience something to look forward to and knowledge to build upon each day. It’s also welcoming and warm, reminding me of Bible stories I heard when I was young. It’s been a blessing in my life this year. I’m glad it’s available.

    Everyday
    This is part of our morning devotional. I share these episodes more than any other podcast.
  • l.j.rock
    A great start to my day!
    I’ve only been listening a few weeks but I’m so encouraged by this podcast and I’ve learned from every single episode. I try to listen first thing in the morning and it really gets my mind set and focused for the rest of the day! 100% recommend.

    Wisdom of the ages/aged
    Sinclair Ferguson isn’t the Holy Spirit, but God uses SF to comfort, discomfort, exposé foolishness, display wisdom and gently teach in bite sized pieces. His themes for the week, five days on a particular aspect of Christ, Faith, life expressed in a podcast that I can listen to as I make breakfast or drive to the store are delightful appetizers for the main course 45min to 90min podcasts of others. God bless His servant, Pastor and teacher, Sinclair Ferguson!

    A wonderful, encouraging daily meditation on the things of Christ from Scripture. Thank you, Sinclair!

    Things unseen.
    Thank you for this week’s gospel according to Isaiah. It’s one of my favorite books of the OT and yet I had never learned the richness of the gospel right before my eyes in Isaiah. Now I know one of the reasons that it is a favorite book for me. Oct. 4, 2023 The descriptions of D-day and V-day was very helpful. It not only helped me with my daily walk with Christ and at 85 years eight of age, I am looking forward my V-day. It also helped me appreciate my country and those who have given their lives so I could have freedom. And now that’s tied to my freedom in Christ from my D day till my V-day
