Christian Resources
There are a lot of Christian resources out there but not all are created equal. A simple Google search is more likely to bring up a heretical teaching than something Biblically solid. If you are looking to dig into the faith more or looking for answers to a question, here are some websites, podcasts, and YouTube pages than tend to be solid. Your Pastor is also one of your best resources when it comes to theology. As always, we should be like the Bereans, who searched the Scriptures to make sure what they were being told was true (Acts 17:11).
