Start Strong, The Companion Podcast Season
A 15-week walk through the Bible passages behind the book.
Want to hear the Scripture taught? Each week of this season of Wednesday in the Word walks through one of the "See for Yourself" passages from Start Strong. Krisan teaches it verse by verse, in plain language, with no prior knowledge required.
You don't have to read the book to get something out of the season. But if you do, the two together give you both the framework and the firsthand encounter with Scripture, which is exactly what Start Strong is built to do.

Millions follow Jesus.
Far fewer know what he said.
So Many Voices . . .
Two thousand years after Jesus walked the earth, his teachings are quoted everywhere and understood by few. It's easy to feel lost between competing interpretations, cultural noise, and the simple question: What did he actually say, and why should it matter to me?
One Clear Voice.
What Jesus Taught And Why It Matters cuts through the noise, returning you to the words themselves. With clarity and care, it walks you through Jesus's central teachings and shows why they still speak with startling relevance today.
