TRAILER: The New Christian
<p><strong>Episode 1 available April 7</strong></p> <p><strong data-olk-copy-source="MessageBody">The New Christian</strong> is a podcast for anyone exploring faith — asking big questions about who God is, who Jesus is, and what it really means to call yourself a Christian.</p> <p>Hosted by Chris Jolly, Drive announcer on <strong>Hope 1032</strong> and a relatively new Christian himself, this podcast follows a journey of discovery as Chris sits down with seasoned Christian leaders, mentors, and thinkers to explore the foundations of faith.</p> <p>Season One covers questions like:</p> <p>Who is God?</p> <p>Who is Jesus?</p> <p>Who is the Holy Spirit?</p> <p>Why church? Why prayer? Why does evil exist?</p> <p>Even… how do you read the Bible?</p> <p>Each episode is an honest, thoughtful conversation designed for the curious, the seeker, the new believer — and even the lifelong Christian wanting to go deeper.</p> <p>No jargon. No assumptions. Just real questions, trusted voices, and a growing faith.</p> <p>Whether you’re exploring Christianity for the first time or rediscovering it, you’re invited to learn alongside Chris — one conversation at a time.</p> <p>Because some questions don’t have quick answers… but they’re worth asking.</p> <p>Listen wherever you get your podcasts or at <a href="https://aus01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fhope1032.com.au%2Fpodcasts&data=05%7C02%7Cderrick.yeoh%40hopemedia.com.au%7C94e0d5bf1d8b45fbb28708de78d87e8b%7C44ee180c66c94274b5ea7a651fab25aa%7C0%7C0%7C639081068573121481%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJFbXB0eU1hcGkiOnRydWUsIlYiOiIwLjAuMDAwMCIsIlAiOiJXaW4zMiIsIkFOIjoiTWFpbCIsIldUIjoyfQ%3D%3D%7C0%7C%7C%7C&sdata=nm5RLave2SWf2z%2BEPuOuYYyslFZH6yYo%2FRGGYU6hcHM%3D&reserved=0" data-auth="NotApplicable" data-linkindex="0">hope1032.com.au/podcasts</a>.</p><p>See <a href="https://omnystudio.com/listener">omnystudio.com/listener</a> for privacy information.</p>
