You’ve said yes to Jesus… but what now? How do you actually live out this brand-new faith when the excitement fades and real-life hits?

In this episode, Shelly sits down with Redemption Press author Cherie Fletcher, author of The Believer’s Walk: A Study Guide for New Converts. Together, they explore what it really means to take those first steps after saying yes to Jesus — and how to walk in newness of life with confidence and clarity.

Cherie shares her heart for new believers, drawing from her years of street evangelism and her passion for discipleship. You’ll hear about the importance of understanding salvation, the empowering role of the Holy Spirit, and how to practically walk out a life of integrity and holiness.

They also talk about the power of knowing God’s character, learning to yield to Him, and growing in trust day by day. Cherie reminds us that God’s love isn’t just a one-time gift — it’s a daily invitation to experience His patience, forgiveness, and grace.

If you’re a new believer, know someone who is, or want to support new Christians in your community, this conversation will encourage and equip you.

Donna shares the personal inspiration behind her book, the profound question at the heart of the story—”Does forever stop?”—and how families can walk through loss together with honesty, love, and faith. This conversation offers both comfort and practical tools for parents, grandparents, and anyone caring for children in the middle of grief.
