  • From Skepticism to Faith: The Inspiring Journey of Viggo Olson
    Sep 21 2023

    Do you believe in the power of science and evolution? Now, imagine using that belief to disprove the Bible, but instead, you find yourself on a faith journey that leads you to serve as a medical missionary in Bangladesh. I invite you to join me as we trace the fascinating journey of brilliant agnostic, Viggo Olson. Through a series of late-night debates with his wife, Olson embarks on a personal investigation to challenge the claims of Christ, only to find himself profoundly impacted by scientific evidence that supports God's creative hand.

    As if this transformative journey wasn't captivating enough, we also delve into Olson's study of ancient cultures and cities. From the Hittites to the Edomites, and the magnificent city of Petra, Olson discovered these once denied biblical myths to be true. This further solidified his belief in the reliability of Scripture and the complexity of God's creation. We also pay homage to the modern heroes of the Christian faith who influenced Olson's conversion. Buckle up for an exhilarating discussion on the magnificence of God's creation, the power of faith, and the legacy of Viggo Olson in the Christian faith.
