Episode 54: Discipling New Believers (Aaron Armstrong)

Discipling new believers is a blessed challenge. Youth pastor theologians need to be thoughtful and have a plan for how to help students in the weeks and months after they make a profession of faith. But how?! 

Conversation Includes: 

• How is the religious climate in Canada different from the Bible Belt and hows that affect the way we minister to youth?
• Why is a book like “I’m a Christian – Now What?” necessary? How do you envision it being read and by whom? 
• When students first profess faith in Christ, how can youth workers and parents help them understand what just happened and what to do next? 
• What are some doctrinal truths that and Christian habits you think are most important to teach new believers, and how do you recommend doing that? 
• How can we help new believers develop a healthy and intimate prayer life? 

Aaron Armstrong is the author of several books for adults and children, documentary screenwriter, ministry leader, and podcaster. His most recent book I’m a Christian—Now What? A Guide to Your New Life with Christ (Lexham Press, 2023).
