From Pulpit to Premiere: How Churches Are Turning Video Ministries into Film Missionary Fields
🎬 The Pulpit Has a New Platform—The Screen.

From Pulpit to Premiere is both a wake-up call and a roadmap for pastors, churches, creatives, and evangelists ready to use the language of our times—visual storytelling—to reach hearts and spread the Gospel.
Dr. McDonald walks you through the biblical foundation, real-life church case studies, and technical playbook for how congregations can transition from livestreams to life-change through narrative film, social media video series, and cinematic evangelism.
