The quality of the content is matched by the quality of presentation in this amazing series. -- Michael S. Horton (Professor of Theology and Apologetics, Westminster Seminary, California)
Discipleship Explored has always been a valuable tool for helping Christians understand what it means to follow Christ. But with this new series of films, along with the accompanying leader’s and guest Handbooks, it reaches another level of excellence. The films are a pleasure to watch; Thabiti Anyabwile conveys the meaning of Philippians as he reads it for us, section by section; and Barry Cooper excels as an engaging guide to help us understand Paul’s Letter to the Philippians and apply it to our lives today. And all this comes with a wonderfully international flavour to both the locations used and the Christians who make cameo appearances. If, after using Discipleship Explored, you don’t love Philippians and want to grow more like Christ, you may be spiritually brain dead. The only downside is that it may make you impatient for this team to do the rest of the New Testament! -- Sinclair B. Ferguson (Teaching Fellow of Ligonier Ministries; former Senior Minister of First Presbyterian Church, Columbia, South Carolina)
If you’re looking for a short series to use with new believers or Christians wanting to think through their purpose, this wonderful, video-based resource might do the trick. -- Thabiti Anyabwile (Pastor, author and speaker)
So when I heard that Christianity Explored Ministries was re-designing Discipleship Explored, I was keen to explore the new material. Presenter and co-writer Barry Cooper kindly took the time to answer some questions a few months ago about the new-look DE. Of course, at one level video-based resources will inevitably date quickly, so there will always be a pressure to keep ‘re-freshening’ such resources. However, ‘DE 2.0’ has more than just a facelift: all the material has been completely re-written, as well as being re-shot, whilst still retaining its focus on Philippians. -- Robin Ham
We should watch the "Righteousness in Christ" episode at least once a year because it encapsulates the truth of justification so well and applies it so powerfully. -- Tim Chester (Crosslands Training; Author of Enjoying God)
