Many of us are aware of the great work Dr. Tom Wadsworth is doing. His popular YouTube videos, podcasts, and writings have made a significant impact on those seeking a better way to do life together.

My good friend Ace hooked me up with this awesome 56-page PDF entitled Believers, the Spirit & the Ekklesia by David H. J. Gay. Highly recommended, and the PDF is available here.
