Next Steps with Jesus: The Salem Church Podcast

At Salem’s Training Center, we believe discipleship is both teaching and training. Teaching gives us truth to believe, while training helps us practice and embody that truth in everyday life. In this episode, we explore why both matter, how Jesus modeled them, and how our upcoming training opportunities can help you take your next step with Jesus.Whether you’re looking for financial peace, emotional health, stronger relationships, or clarity in your calling, there’s a training designed for you.
