Jordan talks with Alex DiPrima about Spurgeon's ministry to the poor. They cover topics like: What is mercy ministry? Where should we think of mercy ministry and social concern as fitting the larger mission of the church? How did Spurgeon find time to focus on things besides preaching? Was Spurgeon's mercy ministry a standard approach among reformed congregations or was it unique? What can churches use today from Spurgeon's past ministry? Where are churches today deficient? Did Spurgeon get any pushback from his fellow Baptists in London on these matters? And more!
