It’s difficult to imagine a better person for Christians to acquaint themselves with than John Newton (1725-1807). Though Newton is often remembered for his dramatic conversion, memorable hymns, and courageous activism, his pastoral ministry is often overlooked. Yet few figures from church history more faithfully convey the sweetness of Christ. In this episode, Zack welcomes Ben Robin to the podcast to discuss the legacy of John Newton. They also profile Newton’s hymn “I Asked the Lord that I Might Grow.”

Ben Robin is a Pastoral Assistant at Del Ray Baptist Church in Alexandria, Virginia. He is working on a PhD in historical theology at The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary. He hopes to write on theological anthropology.
