Who God Is

Before anything else, Christianity is a claim about God: that he exists, that he speaks, and that he can be known. This track walks through what Scripture says about God's nature, his attributes, and the doctrine of the Trinity.

Core

4 lessons

Jesus and the Gospel

Christianity stands or falls on a person. This track covers who Jesus claimed to be, what his death and resurrection accomplished, and how the gospel is good news rather than good advice.

Foundations

3 lessons

Understanding the Bible

Sixty-six books, written across roughly 1,500 years, in three languages, telling one story. This track covers the shape of Scripture, how it came to be, and practical habits for reading it.

Living It Out

Christianity is a way of life, not just a set of beliefs. This track covers prayer, the Holy Spirit's work, the church and the sacraments, and how faith shapes everyday decisions.

6 lessons

Prayer and Worship

Most people give up on prayer because nobody ever taught them how. This track works line by line through the prayer Jesus gave, then covers praise, confession, silence, fasting, and what happens when God seems to say nothing. Practical, not mystical.

Christianity and the World's Faiths

Comparing religions honestly means describing each one the way its followers would recognise, then being clear about the genuine disagreements. This track covers the major views of God, the great world religions, groups that deny the Trinity, and how to talk about all of it without being obnoxious.

Core

5 lessons

The Church, Communion and Baptism

Faith was never designed to be private. This track covers what the church is, why the differences between denominations exist, what baptism and communion mean — including the four main views of Christ's presence in the supper — and how to find a church worth belonging to.
