Many people today think that seeing is believing, but Christians know there is more to life than meets the eye. We must look beyond this momentary life to understand its eternal significance, walking by faith rather than by sight. Things Unseen with Sinclair B. Ferguson is a weekday devotional podcast featuring thoughtful reflections on the Christian life and our relationship with God. Each week follows a theme to guide you day by day in the pursuit of spiritual renewal. A podcast from Ligonier Ministries.

Phelan Alright · Jan 2026
I have enjoyed listening for well over a year. Mr. Ferguson provides a lot of wisdom in these short devotionals. However his jumping off point for a theme is often negative—something he sees wrong in how a topic has been previously thought of, something he read or heard that he doesn’t agree with, or some behavior he thinks most people need to change. I didn’t notice the slight critical bent at first, but after a while I noticed I was being a bit more critical myself. So while I think there is much to be gained by listening to this podcast, I would urge caution if you are susceptible to a critical spirit. (And yes, the irony of this being a somewhat critical review is not lost on me.)

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.
