You do not need to know everything on day one

New to faith? Start here.

Start simple. Ask the questions you actually have.

AskJesus gives new Christians a private place to ask about Jesus, the Bible, prayer, church, baptism, faith, Christian terms, and how to begin building a life around what you believe.

Ask what’s real

The question does not need perfect wording.

Start with the thought you keep replaying. AskJesus helps you slow it down, connect it to Scripture, and keep going with prayer or a Guided Read.

What’s on your mind?

I am new to Christianity. What should I actually do first?
ASK
Thoughtful guidance rooted in God’s word.

Bring the honest question. Start there.

Scripture first

A response that points past itself.

AskJesus is built to move the conversation back toward Scripture. The goal is not another hot take. It is a clearer question, biblical context, reflection, and a next step you can actually carry.

A thought to carry

Start with Jesus, Scripture, prayer, and real Christian community—not a giant checklist.

You do not need to understand the whole Bible before you begin. Read one Gospel, pray honestly, find a healthy local church, ask questions, and keep returning to the basics as your understanding grows.

Read nextMark 1:15 · John 20:30–31
Turn reflection into prayer

Do more than think about it.

Save a prayer around new christians, come back to it later, mark answered prayers, and use Look Back to remember what once felt impossible to carry.

Prayer

Bring it to God.

Father, thank You for meeting me at the beginning. Help me learn who Jesus is, understand Your word, find wise Christian community, and grow without pretending I already know everything. In Jesus’ name we pray, Amen.
SAVE PRAYER

Return later and remember what you were carrying.

Guided Reads

Go deeper without getting lost.

A Guided Read through Jesus, grace, the Bible, prayer, church, and the first steps of faith. Choose the amount of time you have and move through Read, Context, Reflect, and Pray.

Follow the Scripture.

Use relevant passages and context as the center of the response, then keep reading instead of stopping at a summary.

A direct answer

I am a new Christian. Where should I start?

Start by learning Jesus through a Gospel such as Mark or John, begin talking to God in simple prayer, connect with a healthy Bible-teaching local church, ask questions without embarrassment, and focus on understanding grace before trying to master every Christian practice at once.

Bring your next question to AskJesus

Ask your version of the question, then follow the response into Scripture, reflection, prayer, or a Guided Read. Your question is private to your AskJesus experience.

Can AskJesus help me think through new christians?

AskJesus is designed to give you a private place to ask a real question, receive Scripture-centered perspective, continue into relevant Bible passages, save prayers, and use Guided Reads or Reading Plans related to new christians. It is a reflection tool, not a claim of private revelation or the literal voice of Jesus.

Is AskJesus a replacement for a pastor or professional help?

No. AskJesus supports Bible-centered reflection and can help you prepare questions, prayers, and next steps. It does not replace trusted Christian community, pastoral care, or qualified medical, mental-health, legal, financial, emergency, or other professional services when those are appropriate.

Where should I start with new christians in AskJesus?

Start with the question you are already carrying. Then read the response alongside the referenced Scripture, use the “Christianity: Where Do I Start?” Guided Read when you want more structure, or begin the “7 Days for New Christians” Reading Plan to stay with the topic over several days.
