I Am New to Christianity—What Now?
Start with Christ, Scripture, prayer, baptism and church, honest questions, and steady growth. You do not have to understand the entire Bible before taking the next step.
Start with Scripture, not a slogan

A PRACTICAL NEXT STEP
Do one faithful thing today.
Thank God for grace, ask for a teachable heart, and ask for one trustworthy church community and one mature Christian who can help you grow.
Then choose one action small enough to do today: make the call, write the apology, ask for help, read the chapter, make the appointment, set the boundary, review the budget, or simply tell one trustworthy person what is actually happening.
