Just A Guy In The Pew Podcast

Have you ever found yourself in a situation in life where you just don’t know where to go next? I’ve found myself in that situation again and again since I decided to follow the Lord, and the Bible shows us that it’s a constant experience for those who choose to do God’s will. That’s why Victor and I decided to talk about how to deal with uncertainty, and the reasons God allows it. In this episode, we'll talk about:  - What Scripture teaches us about dealing with uncertainty.  - How to keep from letting uncertainty rule our lives through fear.  - What to do when it feels like you’re walking in the dark.  - Why you shouldn’t grasp for control when you feel lost.  - And more!

It isn’t a surprise to anyone that life comes with a lot of challenges. In fact, there are a lot of reasons men feel tempted to give up hope, whether it’s struggling with habitual sin, difficulty in their marriage, or financial problems.

In this episode, you’ll learn:  - How to put your hope in Jesus Christ rather than in other things like money or security.  - How to LIVE a life of hope in Jesus Christ, instead of just saying you have hope in Him.  - How to fight despair when troubles come your way.  - How hope can only come when you are also living with faith and love.  - And more!
