Hear Matthew Spandler-Davison's talk about the value of a poor person.
Hear Tyler St. Clair about why preaching Christ crucified is not out of step with the needs of the inner-city.
We recommend that you read Matthew Spandler-Davison's article on 20schemes Equip called "How a Healthy Church Offers Hope for the Abused." In it, Spandler-Davison outlines the need for and the potential of churchs to be safe environments for the survivors of abuse.
