About this listen
Charles Spurgeon is remembered as one of history’s greatest preachers, so influential he was called the Prince of Preachers and more than 130 years after his death, his sermons still strengthen millions. Yet behind his powerful ministry was a man who knew deep sorrow. Spurgeon spoke openly about what he called “melancholy” or “the minister’s fainting fits”—what we would likely call depression today. This week on The Great Stories Podcast, David Wollen revisits an interview with Charles Morris and Zack Eswine in an episode titled “Zack Eswine and the Sorrow of the Prince of Preachers,” where Eswine reflects on Spurgeon’s suffering and the sustaining grace of Christ that met him there, reminding us that even the strongest voices in church history knew weakness, and found their hope in the Savior.
