Loading player...
In this thought-provoking podcast episode, Professor Dion Foster joins Brad to explore the remarkable life and legacy of Selina Hastings, the Countess of Huntingdon, one of the most influential Christian women of the 18th century.
Broadcasting from Cambridge, UK, Dion shares insights from rare historical archives that reveal how Lady Huntingdon quietly shaped modern Christianity—funding churches, supporting Methodist and Reformed movements, training excluded preachers, and living out a radical, counter-cultural faith. Despite opposition from bishops and aristocracy, her unwavering obedience helped build churches that still exist today.
This episode reflects on faithful consistency over spectacle, the power of ordinary obedience, and the enduring relevance of Galatians 6:9: “Let us not grow weary of doing good…” The conversation also challenges listeners to consider how their own influence, resources, and stories can serve God—whether through writing, teaching, or simple daily faithfulness.
Perfect for listeners interested in Christian history, theology, women of faith, spiritual encouragement, and living a faithful Christian life, this episode reminds us that even unseen acts of obedience can echo for centuries.
