What does it mean to become a Christian? (Episode 25)

What does it really mean to follow Jesus? Christians often use phrases like "You need to be born again," "Give your life to Christ," and "Take up your cross." But have you ever stopped to ask what those words actually mean—and whether we're using them the way the Bible does?

In this episode of Curious Faith: Lost in Translation, Ryan Johnson is joined by Dakota Parrish, Duane Thomas, and the AI Curious Companion to rediscover the biblical meaning behind these familiar expressions. Together, they explore what Jesus meant by being born again, what it means to surrender your life to Christ, and why taking up your cross is about far more than enduring life's difficulties. If you've ever heard these phrases but wondered how they fit together, this conversation will help you see the beauty of the gospel with fresh eyes.
