Preaching with Courage




Monday Morning Preacher show

Summary: How'd you like to preach with a death threat hanging over your head? When I think of "courageous preaching" I think of a dozen people getting upset for a week or maybe a family leaving the church. But Martin Luther King Jr. faced constant death threats—among dozens of other dangers. What can you and I learn about preaching with courage from Dr. King? In this episode I talk with Rev. Lawrence Aker III, senior pastor of the Cornerstone Baptist Church in Brooklyn, New York—one of Dr. King's frequent preaching stops.
