New To Christianity
In this series we focus on addressing questions that people who are new to Christianity or are just starting to engage with Scripture might have. We talk with Mark Meckler about his experience as a new Christian, the challenges he faced and questions he wrestled with. The beginning of any new endeavor can be difficult. There are unique practices, new language, and so many questions about the way things are supposed to work. This newness can be tricky to navigate, and sometimes frustrating. We hope these conversations will inspire and encourage you to more fully participate in the Kingdom of God.
