The First Step Theology Podcast: Recent Episodes
The First Step Theology Podcast
The First Step Theology Podcast is a resource of GospelLife Church Adelaide. We exist to make disciples who made disciples of Jesus, who are full of the awe of God and are equipped to go and be the church. Good theology leads to great worship. Therefore when it comes to loving God and living lives that glorify Him, good theology has to be the first step. This podcast aims to help you stir your affections for our God as we seek to know and love Him. Then, since all theology is practical, whatever we are talking about, we ask and answer the question of ‘so what?’, or in other words, ‘what does this mean for my life as a believer’.
