In weekly 30 minute episodes, we will reflect on the lives and works of figures such as Samuel Miller, James Henley Thornwell, and B.B. Warfield. We will consider enduring themes—prayer, Christian experience, and the church—matters of eternal significance for the people of God until Christ returns.
