Gentle and Lowly: A 14 Day Podcast. This new daily podcast is for anxious and discouraged Christians. In each roughly 4 minute episode, Dane Ortlund, author of Gentle and Lowly: The Heart of Christ for Sinners and Sufferers (which I haven’t read) and the devotions included in the ESV Devotional Psalter (which Stephanie and I love!), shares a brief Scripture reading and a devotional meditation on a different aspect of the heart of Christ.
