As you may have noticed, the website has changed a bit. More than that, the name has changed. This website and podcast began as Spurgeon Audio almost 5 years ago as a desire to make the sermons of Charles Spurgeon as easy to listen to as those of modern preachers. Along the way it has served as a place for me to work through the various issues that have weighed on my heart, and to express the concerns that have come up.
I’ve developed friendships, written thousands of words, had the opportunity to preach my own sermons, and more over the last five years. But I feel that the time has come to make a few changes to this podcast and blog, and after spending time seeking wisdom in prayer and in advice from good brothers, I want to present to you what will be changing.
- The name of the website and the podcast feed will be changing to Kings Way Talk. Within Kings Way Talk are (currently) 3 podcasts: Spurgeon Audio, Kings Highway Radio, and Scripture Sunday.
- The names of the various social media pages related to this podcast will also be changing to Kings Way Talk. As I’ve tried to expand the reach we have while also expanding our content, it’s wound up creating a confusing situation both in having multiple Twitter feeds while also having to explain my podcast in a rather complex way to people. This will help streamline that quite a bit. The Kings Highway Radio Twitter feed will be going away, and the Spurgeon Audio feed will be renamed to Kings Way Talk.
- I’m creating a Patreon, for those who wish to support the efforts Jarod and I are making through the podcast. I have wrestled since the very beginning with the notion of accepting money from people, and my desire here is to expand the amount of time I have available both to create podcasts as well as to continue work on the book I’ve started writing an outline for. If I’m able to gain support this way, that means not having to put in as much overtime at work in order to pay bills, as well as improving the technology used to create podcasts and other content.
Changing the name and essentially rebranding the entire podcast is a big decision, and not one I’ve entered into lightly. But my hope is that in doing this, I can provide a more cohesive platform not just for myself, but for Jarod and others who want to minister online in a way that isn’t limited just to Charles Spurgeon’s influence, but more broadly to point to our great and glorious King Jesus. We long for the day He returns, and until then we will continue to pour out our praise and hope here.
