The Introspection of Matthew Henry (Ep. 45)

Matthew Henry—pastor, scholar, and author of one of the most beloved Bible commentaries in history—was a man who examined his own heart more rigorously than he judged anyone else’s. Raised by a godly non-conformist father, Henry grew from a brilliant, book-loving boy into a disciplined minister marked by prayer, sorrow, deep Scripture study, and relentless self-examination. How does a man who suffered repeated loss still cultivate such joy in God? And why does his commentary remain a treasure across denominations today? Discover the life, legacy, and soul-searching faith of a man who never stopped looking inward so he could live upward.
