A church, a freeway, and a stained glass window
GRAND RAPIDS, MI – In the early 1900s a church planting movement went across the small, but growing city of Grand Rapids, Michigan. Eventually a church was started, and a facility built in the densely packed working-class neighborhood on the northwest side of the city called Fair Haven. In a central place in the auditorium, they placed a beautiful stained-glass window with a Bible at its center to visualize their commitment to bring Jesus to the neighborhood and city.

the Issues Facing Churches"
In this episode of Punching Holes in the Darkness, host Tim Patterson sits down with Dr. Danny Akin at Southeastern Seminary in North Carolina. They discuss a few controversial issues that have been facing the Southern Baptist Convention over the last year.
