We are taking a few weeks to let you know about some of the teaching material Media Gratiae has produced outside our podcasts. In previous special episodes we have highlighted Behold Your God: The Weight of Majesty and Behold Your God: Rethinking God Biblically.
This week we want to present you with a unique production for us. In Church: Pillar and Ground of the Truth, we created both a feature-length documentary and a 12-session study walking through church history and careful ecclesiology. If you would like more information after watching the first session of the study, follow this link: https://shop.mediagratiae.org/collections/the-whole-counsel-specials
