What if there are questions that I can’t answer? What if they disagree with me? What if I just look like an idiot? Rather than trying to have all the answers\, this talk will help prepare you to become better in having good conversations that will lead you to sharing your faith in Jesus more naturally and confidently. \n\n\n\n    5 Steps for Answering Tough Questions\n    Speaker: Steve Osmond\n    What do we do when we encounter a question or challenge about our faith we haven’t heard before? Do we need to master every apologetic topic before we can feel ready to stand up and share the gospel at work or university? This session will share a simple five-step framework that\, with practice\, you can apply to any tough question that comes up during evangelism. It will take two or three common questions and work through them to show how it works in practice. \n\n\n\n    Is Belief in God a Projection?\n    Speaker: Jared Michelson\n    How can we know God exists? Or relatedly\, how can we know that belief in God isn’t just a crutch for the weak which we posit to allow us to deal with the challenges of life? What we often hear from friends and neighbours is ‘if religion works for you\, that’s great’. What this implicitly assumes is a skepticism about whether we can know God\, and correspondingly a merely pragmatic approach to religion. These common worries relate to important philosophical questions which we can challenge head on. We have reason to be confident that we can know God as God is. \n\n\n\n    Is Love All You Need?\n    Speaker: Jared Michelson\n    Today\, many of us feel merely being kind or loving is all that is required to be a good person. We ask why the Bible includes all sorts of specific commands\, some of which not only go beyond love\, but seem to contradict love\, even appearing to us as oppressive and overly restrictive. Surprisingly\, the early church Father Augustine agrees that in a sense\, love is all you need. Jesus’s identification of the greatest commandments\, i.e. loving God and others\, seem to say something similar. The Bible’s entire moral law is about love\, but the fundamental question is ‘what does love really require\,’ and are we sure we know what it means to be loving\, both to others and ourselves? The aim of this talk is to show that no command in the Bible is ultimately restrictive\, all are oriented to our flourishing and are about love.

In this talk\, Steve will offer a compassionate\, biblically rooted response to the problem of evil and suffering—touching on intellectual objections\, but focusing especially on God’s presence and love in our pain. \n\n\n\nThroughout the evening\, you’ll gain real-life examples\, biblical insights\, and practical tools to help you share your faith naturally\, even in challenging conversations. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nEvening Schedule\n\n\n\n🕖 7:00 PM – Doors Open🕢 7:30 PM – Evening Session Begins: Welcome\, Song\, Prayer & Introduction to Steve🎙 7:35 PM – Talk 1: 5 Steps to Answering Tough Questions – Steve Osmond☕ 8:10 PM – Coffee Break🎙 8:30 PM – Talk 2: Where is God in the midst of suffering? – Steve Osmond❓ 9:00 PM – Q&A with Steve🙏 9:25 PM – Wrap-up\, Next Steps\, Prayer\, and Close \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThis event is Free to attend – No ticket required\, and please do bring a friend!

SUMMARY:Confident Christianity Evening Session - Balerno\, Edinburgh
DESCRIPTION:Do you ever find it hard to share your faith with friends\, family\, or co-workers? Not sure how to start spiritual conversations—or worried about what to say when big questions come up? \n\n\n\nYou’re not alone—and this event is for you! \n\n\n\nWe live in a culture where talking about faith can feel awkward or intimidating.

How do we as Christians respond to these realities personally as well as when faced with questions about these issues from others? \n\n\n\nThis talk will help people think through some of these issues as well as use these questions to direct others to the saving grace of God in Christ Jesus. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPractical Details\n\n\n\n\nVenue: St Mungo’s Church – Balerno\n\n\n\nDate: Thursday 27th November 2025\n\n\n\nTime: 7:00pm – 9:00pm\n\n\n\nCost: Free\n\n\n\n\nEveryone is warmly welcome – whether you are a Christian wanting to grow in confidence\, or someone exploring questions of faith.
