Krisan Marotta, host of Wednesday in the Word podcast, joins Rob Schilling on AM 1070 WINA's The Schilling Show to discuss her book Start Strong: A New Believer's Guide to Christianity. Instead of talking about why she wrote the book, they dive straight into the theology, covering what new believers need to understand and why it matters. 

Key takeaways:

• Repentance is more than saying sorry. It's a complete change of direction and the first step of saving faith.
• Sin has both short-term consequences (bitterness, frustration, tragedy) and long-term consequences (standing before God).
• Finding the right church means looking for one that teaches the Bible in a real way, not just political agendas.
• Biblical worldview divides people into sinners who have found forgiveness through Jesus and those who haven't, not oppressors and oppressed.
• Fellowship with other believers is essential for encouragement and growth.
• Fearing God means making what He thinks more important than anything else.
