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, Behold Your God: Rethinking God Biblically, and Church: Pillar and Ground of the Truth.
This is our final episode highlighting these studies and we chose to end it with our latest study, Living with the True God: Lessons from Judges. This is a seven-session study walking through a book many find confusing, discouraging, and alarming. But this is a book filled with applicable truths to the Christian life.
