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. That’s why Solas is partnering with 📍 St Mungo’s Church – Balerno to bring you a Confident Christianity Evening Session—a night designed to help everyday Christians talk about Jesus with clarity\, confidence\, and compassion.Join us on Thursday the 27th of November from 7-9pm (doors open at 6:30) for an evening of encouragement\, practical equipping\, and thought-provoking talks as we explore how to share our faith with confidence and respond to tough questions about Christianity. \n\n\n\nOur speaker for the evening will be Steve Osmond\, who will bring two engaging and challenging talks. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nEvent Schedule\n\n\n\n\n7:00pm – Welcome & Introduction\n\n\n\n7:05pm – Talk 1: Conversations that Count\n\n\n\n7:40pm – Break (tea/coffee & refreshments)\n\n\n\n8:00pm – Talk 2: Injustice in Jesus’ Name\n\n\n\n8:25pm – Q&A \n\n\n\n8:55pm – Closing Remarks & Prayer\n\n\n\n9:00pm – Finish\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSteve Osmond’s Talk Details\n\n\n\nTalk 1: Conversations that Count\n\n\n\nFor many Christians\, the thought of evangelism is something that fills them with anxiety and fear. \n\n\n\n\nWhat if there are questions that I can’t answer?\n\n\n\nWhat if they disagree with me?\n\n\n\nWhat if I just look like an idiot?\n\n\n\n\nRather 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\n\n\n\nTalk 2: Injustice in Jesus’ Name\n\n\n\nWar.

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.

SUMMARY:Confident Christianity Evenings – St Peter’s Free Church - Dundee
DESCRIPTION:Wednesdays 4th & 11th March | 7:30–9:15pm \n\n\n\nDo you find the thought of talking about Jesus with friends\, neighbours\, family members\, or colleagues a bit daunting? \n\n\n\nDo you ever worry about saying the wrong thing — or what might happen if someone raises a difficult question about suffering\, truth\, or the state of the world? \n\n\n\nIf so\, you’re not alone. \n\n\n\nIn today’s fast-paced\, sceptical\, and often anxious culture\, many Christians feel unsure about how to speak naturally and confidently about their faith. That’s why St Peter’s Free Church is partnering with Solas to host two Confident Christianity Evenings with speaker Steve Osmond. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThese evenings are designed to help ordinary Christians: \n\n\n\n\nTalk about Jesus more naturally and thoughtfully\n\n\n\nEngage well with big questions and objections\n\n\n\nFeel more confident representing the Christian faith in everyday conversations\n\n\n\n\nEach evening will include two short talks\, and a time for Q&A\, giving you the opportunity to ask honest questions in a relaxed setting. \n\n\n\nEvent Schedule\n\n\n\nWednesday 4th March – Hope and Everyday Gospel Conversations\n\n\n\n7:30pm–9:15pm \n\n\n\nConversations That CountFor many Christians\, the thought of evangelism is something that fills them with anxiety and fear. 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\nIs There Any Hope?Given all the chaos in the world – poverty\, climate crisis\, cost of living increases\, disease – it seems like hope is in short supply. Can we really rely on our human ingenuity to solve the issues of the world? Is hope just wishful thinking? This talk will explore what Christianity has to offer in comparison to some of the other major worldviews. \n\n\n\nQ&A \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWednesday 11th March – Answering Hard Questions on Truth and Suffering \n\n\n\n7:30pm–9:15pm \n\n\n\n“True for You\, But Not for Me!” – The Truth About TruthTrue for you but not for me. All truth is relative. That’s just your truth. We can’t know what is true. We live in a post truth culture where disagreeing with someone is seen as an all-out assault on their personhood. Bigotry! It is said that all truths are subjective\, self-defined and relative. Really? Is that true? Jesus said “I am the way\, the truth\, and the life. Nobody comes to the Father but through me”. This talk will unpack the self-defeating nature of relativism\, equip you with tools of how to spot these inconsistencies\, and show how belief in God actually makes far more sense of reality and especially our moral intuitions. \n\n\n\nIf God\, Why Evil?The Bible teaches us that God is all-powerful\, all-knowing. and all-good. If Christianity is true\, then why is there so much evil and suffering in the world. This is both a common objection from sceptics as well as a question that just about every Christian will wrestle with at some point. This talk is an introduction to the problem of evil and suffering that will focus on helping people think through God being both loving and powerful\, but also allowing evil and suffering. Christianity not only stands up to the questions posed by sceptics but has something unique to offer the world when faced with pain\, grief\, evil\, and suffering. \n\n\n\nQ&A \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThese evenings are ideal whether you: \n\n\n\n\nFeel nervous about evangelism\n\n\n\nWant help answering difficult questions\n\n\n\nCare deeply about friends and family who don’t yet know Jesus\n\n\n\n\nEveryone is welcome and the event is Free. \n\n\n\nSpeaker Info\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSteve Osmond is a full-time speaker and writer for Solas\, focussing primarily on Scotland. He is enthusiastic about evangelism and regularly speaks at universities around the country on the big questions of life and the truth of Christianity from a range of perspectives. He also spends much of his time working with churches and other Christian groups\, both to grow their faith and equip them to share their faith in Jesus persuasively.

SUMMARY:Confident Christianity Morning Conference - Inverness
DESCRIPTION:Do you find the thought of talking about Jesus with friends\, neighbours\, family members\, or colleagues a bit daunting? \n\n\n\nDo you ever worry about saying the wrong thing — or what might happen if someone raises a difficult question? \n\n\n\nIf so\, you’re not alone. \n\n\n\nMany Christians long to share their faith more naturally but feel unsure where to begin. That’s why Knockbain Free Church is partnering with Solas to host a special Confident Christianity Morning with speaker Steve Osmond. \n\n\n\nThis practical training session is designed to help ordinary Christians: \n\n\n\n\nTalk about Jesus more naturally and thoughtfully\n\n\n\nGrow in confidence in everyday gospel conversations\n\n\n\nShare their own story of faith clearly and naturally\n\n\n\n\nThe morning will include two focused sessions\, interactive elements\, and time for questions! \n\n\n\nEvent Schedule\n\n\n\nSaturday 16th May – Everyday Gospel Confidence10:00am–12:30pm \n\n\n\n09:30Doors Open10:00Conference Begins: Welcome & Introduction to Steve Osmond10:05Conversations That Count – Steve Osmond10:40Tea & Coffee Break11:05Sharing Your Testimony Workshop – Steve11:55Q&A12:25What’s Next\, Prayer and Close\n\n\n\nConversations That Count\n\n\n\nFor many Christians\, the thought of evangelism is something that fills them with anxiety and fear. What if there are questions that I can’t answer? What if they disagree with me? What if I just look like an idiot? \n\n\n\nRather than trying to have all the answers\, this session will help prepare you to become better at having good conversations that lead naturally and confidently to sharing your faith in Jesus. \n\n\n\nSharing Your Testimony Workshop\n\n\n\nOne of the most powerful tools in evangelism is your own story. \n\n\n\nThis interactive workshop will help you: \n\n\n\n\nReflect clearly on what Christ has done in your life\n\n\n\nShape your testimony in a simple and engaging way\n\n\n\nShare your faith naturally and appropriately in everyday conversations\n\n\n\n\nTogether\, these two sessions provide practical skills and confidence to help you speak about Jesus with warmth\, clarity\, and courage. \n\n\n\nQ&A and Closing Prayer \n\n\n\nEveryone is welcome\, and the event is free. \n\n\n\n“If God\, Why Evil?” – Evangelistic Event\n\n\n\nFriday 15th May 2026 | 7:30pm–9:00pmNorth Kessock Village Hall\, IV1 3XS \n\n\n\nWe would especially encourage you to invite friends\, family members\, colleagues\, and neighbours to this evangelistic evening with Steve. \n\n\n\nThe Bible teaches us that God is all-powerful\, all-knowing\, and all-good. If Christianity is true\, then why is there so much evil and suffering in the world? This is both a common objection from sceptics as well as a question that just about every Christian will wrestle with at some point. This talk is an introduction to the problem of evil and suffering that will focus on helping people think through God being both loving and powerful\, but also allowing evil and suffering. Christianity not only stands up to the questions posed by sceptics but has something unique to offer the world when faced with pain\, grief\, evil\, and suffering. \n\n\n\nThere will also be opportunity for Q&A in an open and welcoming environment. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSteve Osmond is a full-time speaker and writer for Solas\, focussing primarily on Scotland. He is enthusiastic about evangelism and regularly speaks at universities around the country on the big questions of life and the truth of Christianity from a range of perspectives. He also spends much of his time working with churches and other Christian groups\, both to grow their faith and equip them to share their faith in Jesus persuasively.
