What does it take for a church to reach the ends of the earth? Pastor Chad Vegas and missionary Brooks Buser join theologian Ian Hamilton to explore the story of the St. Andrews Seven: A pastor, Thomas Chalmers, and his six students, who were united in obedience to the Great Commission, and whose fervor for saving the lost transformed the Scottish Church.

Featuring Sinclair Ferguson, Nick Needham, Malcolm Maclean, and Paul Schlehlein. Directed and produced by Stephen McCaskell.
