Biblical Wisdom for Everyday Struggles

What this episode covers

In this Q&A, Stuart Olyott answers questions on doubt, suffering, and how scripture shapes our trust in God. He talks about overcoming early questions about the truth of the Bible, walking through personal loss, and what it means to leave hard questions with God. You’ll hear his thoughts on discerning God’s will, keeping a church united when consciences differ, dealing with temptation as you grow in grace, and why the gospel must stay front and center. He also touches on preparing for marriage, baptism and church membership, evangelism without getting sidetracked, honoring parents when convictions clash, and building a daily habit of Gospel reading.(0:00) Introduction(9:49) How Do You Discern the Will of God?(12:39) How Do You Help People Who Have Doubts?(16:29) Have I Committed the Unpardonable Sin?(20:08) How Important Is Having an End Times Position?(22:08) How Do You Measure Fruit on the Mission Field?(24:27) How Has Christ Helped You When Facing Temptation?(28:17) How Do You Help Singles Not Overcomplicate Who They Marry?(32:46) Trail After Trial, What Can You Tell a Discouraged Person Like Me?(37:59) Believed God for Something and It Did Not Happen(42:22) How to Stay on Track with Evangelistic Conversations?(44:43) How Did You Know That the Lord Called You to Preach?(49:14) Christianity Should Not Be Heavy(53:14) Qualifications for Baptizing Children?(56:30) How Did the Lord Lead You to Switzerland?(1:00:11) Any Indictments Against the American Church?(1:03:34) Doing a Bible Study with an Episcopalian – Where Would You Start?(1:07:45) How Much Risk to Take in Evangelism?(1:10:34) How Do You Honor Your Parents If They Ask You to Dishonor God?(1:13:00) Young Man Told He Can't Read the Bible by Parents(1:15:43) How to Grow in Christlikeness?(1:22:03) Honor Unpresentable Parts of the Body?(1:24:15) How to Go Through Deep Loss?(1:25:40) Closing Prayer
