Why should Christians still read Charles Spurgeon more than 130 years after his death?
Dr. Jeff Medders and Dr. Geoff Chang introduce the life and ministry of one of the most influential pastors in church history. They talk about Spurgeon’s remarkable ministry in London, how thousands of his books and personal papers made their way to Kansas City, and a few of their favorite treasures inside the Spurgeon Library.
But this podcast isn’t about putting Spurgeon on a pedestal. It’s about learning from a faithful pastor who loved Christ, preached the gospel, cared for his church, and still has plenty to teach Christians and ministry leaders today.
