At this point, I've posted all of my "Heroes of the Faith" talks currently available. It does not constitute an exhaustive list, however. New biographical studies in church history are a regular staple of my teaching at my church's Sunday evening services, and I plan to get back to doing them every now and then after my series in apologetics is complete. The apologetics series (which I'll also be making available here on the blog) will run throughout the fall of 2021, so I'll likely to have a few new Heroes of the Faith studies in 2022. If so, I'll post them in the main feed as they occur, and I'll also add them to the running list of links, so remember to throw an occasional glance to the Heroes of the Faith page (always available under the "Resources" tab and in the "Full Series" menu in the sidebar).
