Resources

We felt it prudent to share some of the resources we’ve come to lean on both in our walks with God and our pursuits in understanding film as a medium for discerning and interpreting culture. Hopefully, these resources will help in the refinement of a Biblical filter in how we not only consume film, but also in how we spend our time each passing day.
