1. Why is it important for new believers to build a strong foundation in who they are in Christ, and how might that shape the rest of their spiritual journey?
2. How can we help someone move beyond simply learning about God to actually walking with Him—growing closer to God, engaging Scripture, practicing prayer, and obeying what they’re learning?
3. What role does relationship play in discipleship, and how can we create spaces where people feel safe to grow, ask questions, and be honest about their struggles?
4. Why is it helpful for new Christians to understand the big story of the Bible—and how can that understanding give meaning and purpose to their everyday lives and choices?
