If Jesus were alive today, He might have a podcast and the disciples their own reality show! A lot has changed over the centuries as far as technology and transportation.

New Christians today are challenged with understanding terminology and concepts that made perfect sense in biblical times but leave us scratching our heads in confusion today. Another challenge is understanding some 'basic' core concepts that older Christians assume everyone knows and understands.

The 21st Century Christian

The 21st Century Christian develops eLearning courses to help bridge the gap between then and now and to clarify concepts that often confound new believers (and some seasoned ones too!).

1. What is the Trinity?
2. Do you have to go to church?
3. But, I'm a good person. Isn't that enough?
4. Who was Mary Magdalene really?
5. What is the truth behind the Proverbs 31 woman?

21st Century Christian Courses

All these questions are answered in The 21st Century Christian courses. Each course is made up of five lessons. Each lesson is approximately 10-12 minutes long and is accompanied by a handout which includes journaling questions, a synopisis of the lesson and relevant Bible verses.

Here are the collections of courses. Each collection is made up of three courses and each course is made up of 5 lessons. When purchasing a course, people will receive a lesson (and handout) a week. Each course will be sold individually for $39 and as a collection (3 related courses) for $99.
