In this episode of Generation Dave Buehner speaks with Michael Haykin about the fathers of the church and how to get started on your own journey of discovery of the fathers of the church.

Two kingdom theories. Pietist isolationism. Social gospel liberals. Evangelical activists. Post-modern city ministries.
