All questions
How Do I Share My Faith?
Start with your story. You don't need a seminary degree to tell people what God did for you.
Why Should I Get Baptized?
Because Jesus told us to, and because it's how you tell the world, "I'm with Jesus now."
What Is the Gospel, Simply?
The gospel is the good news that Jesus paid for your sin so you can be brought back to God. It's simple, but it's not shallow. Here it is in five lines.
I Prayed the Sinner’s Prayer. Am I Saved?
The prayer isn't what saved you, and it can't prove you're saved. Here's what Scripture says the real test is.
What Does It Actually Mean to Believe?
Believing in Jesus means trusting Him enough to put your whole weight on Him. It's more than agreeing that He's real.
What Does It Mean to Repent?
Repentance is a change of mind that produces a change in action. It's not just feeling bad, and it's not a one-time ceremony.
What Is Grace?
Grace is God extending a hand of help instead of pointing a finger of judgment. Here's what that means for how He sees you.
Are Some Sins Worse Than Others?
Every sin is serious enough to separate us from God. But Scripture shows some sins carry greater guilt and worse consequences.
Is Jesus the Only Way to Heaven?
I know that's not a popular answer. Here's why I can't give you a different one.
Can I Actually Know God Personally?
Not just know about Him, but actually know Him. That was the whole point from the beginning.
How Do I Deal With Guilt That Won’t Go Away?
Guilt kills your confidence and makes you live with your head down. Here's how to deal with it and actually move on.
Am I Too Far Gone for God to Use Me?
No. And I'm living proof. Your past doesn't disqualify you from what God wants to do through you.
Did Jesus Really Rise From the Dead, and Why Does It Matter?
Our faith doesn't hang on a set of rules. It hangs on one historical event. Here's the evidence for the resurrection and why it changes everything.
Is Jesus Really God?
Yes. Jesus didn't just teach about God. He claimed to be God, and He didn't leave us much middle ground: Lord, liar, lunatic or legend.
What Must I Do to Be Saved?
When people in the Bible asked this exact question, they got a straight answer. It comes down to three things: hear the gospel, believe the gospel, and repent.
