You've heard the message. You feel something. But you have no idea where to begin. Rev. James Mooneyhan — a United Methodist minister who has walked with people at the beginning of their faith journey for decades — gives the most specific, practical, and accessible guidance you will hear this Easter weekend.
He doesn't give you a 12-step program or a theological syllabus. He tells you where to start: pray, find a church that actually feeds you, open the Gospel of Mark first because it's the shortest and the most urgent, read one Psalm and one Proverb every day, find one verse that hits you and write it down. He also warns you about the one thing that will happen immediately after you decide to start — and how to be ready for it.
"I can do all things through Christ who gives me strength." Start there. And keep going.
What you'll learn:
- Why finding a church still matters even when church is imperfect
- Why Rev. Mooneyhan recommends starting with Mark, not Genesis
- How to read Psalms and Proverbs for daily spiritual nutrition
- How to choose a Bible translation you can actually understand (ESV recommended)
- How to memorize scripture and why it will protect you
- What to expect from the enemy immediately after you commit to faith
- What a "living relationship with God" actually looks like in daily life
