Description

In this episode of The Puritan Pulpit, host Nick Reddin brings you Jonathan Edwards’s moving sermon, “True Saints, When Absent from the Body, Are Present with the Lord,” preached at the 1747 funeral of missionary David Brainerd. At just 29, Brainerd’s relentless gospel work among Native Americans cost him his health, yet his unshakable faith inspired Edwards to share this powerful reflection on life, death, and eternal hope. Join us to hear Edwards’s eloquent vision of a believer’s homecoming to Christ, woven with Brainerd’s remarkable story of devotion.
