Go Deeper: Start Strong, A New Believer's Podcast
A 15-week companion podcast launches February 4, 2026
Each week the podcast will go through one of the “See For Yourself” passages at the end of each book chapter. Read chapter 1 before listening to week 1, chapter 2 before week 2, etc.
While these questions are covered in the book, the podcast will go deeper into a specific passage of Scripture. Here’s a sneak peak.
Week 1: If Grace Covers All Sin, Why Not Keep Sinning?
Week 2: Why Can’t You Just Try Harder to Be Good?
Week 3: If All Religions Lead to God, Why Did Jesus Have to Die?
Week 4: What Jesus Taught About Saving Faith
Week 5: How to Build Your Life on a Solid Foundation
You don’t have to read the book to join. But if you do, you’ll get even more out of each episode, especially with the companion workbook and free small-group discussion questions.
Krisan Marotta is the creator of the Wednesday in the Word podcast, and a passionate advocate for Bible study, who has dedicated over four decades to understanding and teaching Scripture.
